Live look at Trump's defense team:

It’s honestly hard to follow because it’s so fragmented.
”Impeachment is rare. If you do it, it would be less rare. So you can’t impeach because once a thing isn’t rare then it’s no longer special. Plus people in home districts may say they want someone impeached so you have to take their calls and listen to them say they want impeachment. Or don’t want impeachment like Ben Sasse in Nebraska. Nebraska is a cool place. Imagine if a hypothetical impeachment took place? Then we would have another impeachment.”
Trump must be fuming right now. He knows this presentation is a disaster.
I'm not grousing about Schumer. He's doing fine.
Jaime Raskin kicked as-s in that opening.
He probably is, but a stumbling defense is perfect for him. He won't lose the vote in any case, and he'll be the victim of incompetence.
The whole hour and a half was brilliant.
We are going to hear so many absurd excuses to give Trump a free pass over the next week or so. It’s hard to believe one of our two main parties openly supports mob violence to overthrow democracy and killing thousands of people in a pandemic every day.
So, impeaching Trump after he lost is disenfranchising voters?
So what is petitioning a court to throw out the ballots of six million people? In multiple counties, in multiple states?
To answer the most common question I am getting. No, I have no idea what Trump's lawyers are doing.
Maybe Sasse wasn’t a winnable vote, but again, it was certainly a novel strategy.
And Trump allies acknowledged it as such.
“I’ve seen a lot of lawyers and a lot of arguments and that was -- that was not one of the finest I’ve seen," Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) said.
Trump ally Alan Dershowitz also added on Newsmax: "Maybe he’ll bring it home, but right now, it does not appear to me to be effective advocacy. ... It’s not the kind of argument I would have made, I have to tell you that.”
Navy veteran Thomas Edward Caldwell led a band of the Oath Keepers extremist group to Washington on Jan. 6 to storm the U.S. Capitol, federal prosecutors allege, helping to mastermind a violent plot to stop lawmakers from certifying Joe Biden’s presidential victory.
But Caldwell’s attorney, Thomas K. Plofchan, says he isn’t just a retired lieutenant commander. Caldwell also had a top-secret security clearance and served as a section chief for the FBI after leaving the armed forces in 2009, Plofchan said.
Those details were revealed in amotion filed Monday asking a judge to release Caldwell from custody, citing his long military career and ability to pass vetting for the high-security clearance. His attorney also said that Caldwell hasdisabilities from his military service that would have prevented him from storming the Capitol.
