WE. WANT OUR TAX MONEY BACK

[royalty]

Anyone else happy to finally listen to REAL FACTS.

It must pain the Democrats to have to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

[anniemaull]

I've heard all my life about a mole hill made into a mountain but never saw it before until.... Now the Democrats took what they wanted to from a good solid call between two people and turned it into a mountain. It is outlandish and outrageous. And shame on them. Forever.

I have watched some pretty crappy lawyers over the years. This guy is NOT one of them. He is amazing. He could defend me anytime if I ever needed one. Good job.

[ronnywestbrooks]

Can't wait for Durham report Hopefully justice will be served and people will get punished and serve time

[kensirmons]

And just like that, the Democrats case unravels. Took less than two hours to prove.

[Post-Trib]

The truth is simple & can't change yet the dems always appeal to emotions & never the truth or exculpatory evidence

[bathtubs]

I love Jay Sekulow. I was thrilled to see his son follow in his footsteps. What an amazing team. God bless them all.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR FIGHTING BACK FOR ALL OF US

[carminericcioli]

Interesting, when you get the 2nd half of the story.... I used to be a Democrat... that will change Monday

[valerieposnikoff]

This proceeding shouldn't even have gone this far setting any prececent that ANYONE could cause this down party lines. Proving innocence with all the theatre seems like too many career politicians, period! No one should be targeted like this, crazy! Trump2020

[jamesbryson]

Nadler waddled in after the prayer and during the Pledge of Allegiance...how rude and ignorant.

[theneverman]

The truth gets in the way of the dems goals. The end.

[bluecollar]

This is what a substantive argument looks like,

[royboysoon]

President Trump was acting in accordance with the Treaty with Ukraine on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters,
a pact that has been in place since 1998. Under the terms of this international agreement, the U.S. and Ukraine agree to
“provide mutual assistance in connection with the investigation, prosecution, and prevention of offenses, and in proceedings
related to criminal matters

[ejensen]

Haven't seen a legal evisceration of a flimsy case like that since.. well, ever. And there are two more days to go.

[goldenboy]

What, Democrats actually doing the pledge of allegiance? I'm confused.

[bagleycl]

At the start of this trial, note that Nadler enters the room after the prayer and just as the "Pledge of Allegiance" is finishing!

Low class Impeachment Managers vs. High class Defense.
