House Impeachment Managers File Brief For Trump's Trial | Hallie Jackson | MSNBC

One does not get a free pass for inciting an insurrectionist coup two weeks before the end of one's term.

[jewellcharles]

he was the sitting president when he committed the act of treason must be held accountable as well as his co-conspirators for their part in their crimes.

[marianfitzpatrick]

If the GOP still cannot see the danger Donald Trump presents, then God help America, because they will need it.

[shannonbloom]

The Rally permit specifically stated there was to be no march to the Capitol. The group did not have a permit to march, so when Trump asked, them, urged them, cajoled them to march on the Capitol, he was breaking the law and violating the permit that had been issued. The fact that WH aids had discussed "the march" before Jan 6th meant that he had every intention of sending them to the Capitol despite the permit.

[Ajibolaa]

Imagine when your only argument is that you’re not president anymore.

[yogisie]

I was looking forward to Trump defending himself. That would have been comedy gold.

[Zachorazor]

A warm up for his other upcoming trials.

[sashabaroncohen]

He should already be in a prison cell according to the Mueller Report.

[silvervespa]

MAKE IT STICK !!!!
He will not be forgiven his safest place is in Jail .
He should think about that .

[bibbleboo]

I’ma need a really big bag of popcorn.

[alexmurphy]

God bless America, Democracy and Trump impeachment!

[charlesdexterbrewer]

I got a speeding ticket but I’m not driving anymore I sold my car.

[nickh]

We all know the truth. Conviction or not. I doubt I will be shocked at the end of all this.

[VenkatShastry]

This is what happens when apprentice ends

[elaineberg]

Since the insurrection happened while Trump was President, I see no legal problem with moving forward with the trial. It is time the Republican Party take responsibility for supporting every despicable thing this man did.

[husqvarna]

Okay let’s try this.
Bring the criminal charges.

[wastrel]

I thank god I`m not American, in America it doesn`t matter whether you`re guilty of a crime!! what matters is, which lawyers you can afford, they determine whether you go to prison or not-that`s despicable!

"It was reported last week that Donald Trump’s impeachment legal team fell apart days before the trial is due to begin over fears that the ex-president would force them to keep peddling his ridiculous election conspiracy theories."

"I was a president I can't be impeached, now I am a regular Joe why are you guys impeaching me", Trump

[kbstrong]

It’s negligent in the fact that a President should know who he’s sending and if their were protesting permits, etc. So I believe he negligent at minimum.
