Closing arguments at former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial were expected to get underway Saturday morning — with each side granted two hours to make their final case to the US Senate before an expected vote on the verdict later in the day.

But Day 5 started instead with House impeachment manager Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) asking to subpoena records and call a witness sparking fierce debate with Trump defense lawyer Michael van der Venn.

Mcconnel not only put a knife in Trumps back but 80 million as well. In my view mcconnel has just driven the last nail in the gop’s coffin

McConnel was lecturing US.

I wasn’t fooled.

He is our leader, as he sees it.

“He claims the American public should never follow Trump.”

Well, as long as Schumer said that, I guess I’ll never follow trump. (Schumer’s an idiot.)

“Are they getting ready to CENSURE the President?”

Hope not. Do you think they’ll try to impeach Trump AGAIN? I would not put it past them.

He’s just trashing Trump (classic divide and conquer) by saying it wast 74 million people who incited the riots, it was 1 person (Trump). McConnell and his wife are so glad Trump is gone so they can continue their business in China uninterrupted. He just wanted to be the one to put the last knife in Trump’s back. I’d like to know what McConnell and Pelosi knew about this planned attack ahead of time.

Trump and others can still prove the fraud. No matter how much they go after Trump, that will NEVER convince half the country this election wasn’t stolen.

This is quite a stump speech McConnell is making to the 75 million people who voted for Trump.

If those 75 million were all listening now, there would be a 75 million ‘middle finger’ salute to McConnell.

The 75 million people who have been backstabbed will not be supportive of the GOP

McConnell is now encouraging that State Prosecutors pursue any and all legal actions against Trump.

McConnell has just said (yes, I unmuted it for a moment) - that President Trump is LIABLE FOR EVERYTHING HE DID AS PRESIDENT! IN THE AMERICAN COURTS OF JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!

No doubt this will be the soundbite played over and over by the LSM.

I don’t use the term often but McConnell is a total POS!

I’m sure Trump is happy he stumped for McConnell’s re-election.
