today we expect but also very very emotional this is for it to democrats i think and for the house of pietschmann managers they think the key to get a few republicans to vote with them right and how is this the american public taking this washington psychodrama. well it depends on what channel you're watching here if you are subscribing to be a watcher all for example fox right conservative right wing. then you will sporadically check in probably if you're all watching other networks c.n.n. on them all the middle of the left c.n.n. has received then you will watch this if you can all day long no doubt there is high interest in what's going on there and you know yesterday was critical because for many many millions of americans that was hard to watch it was hard to watch for me this footage yesterday we were there on generally 6 to relive this kind of was tough so yeah american public is interested millions are watching but i wouldn't say that it's for the entire country on. the 1st stove so to speak it's not on the front burner entirely fall of american spot for a large large large number of them

her house surrounded by angry mobs of protesters when that happened in unnerved her one of the house managers i forget which one tweeted cry me a river. under the standards of the house and pietschmann article each of these individuals should be retroactively censored expelled punished or impeached for inciting violence by their supporters unlike the left president trump has been entirely consistent in his opposition to mob violence he opposes it in all forms in all places just says he's been consistent that the national guard should be deployed to protect american communities wherever protection is needed for democrats they have clearly demonstrated that their opposition to mobs and their view of using the national guard depends upon the mob's political views. not only is this impeachment case preposterously wrong on the facts no matter how much she and a motion is injected by the political opposition it is also plainly unconstitutional in effect congress would be claiming that the right to disqualify a private citizen no longer a government official from running for public office this would transform the solemn impeachment process into a mechanism for asserting congressional contr

violent insurrection of the capitol on that point everyone agrees based on the explicit text of the house and pietschmann article this trial is about whether mr trump will fully engage in incitement of violence and even insurrection against the united states and that question they have posed in their article impeachment has to be set up against the law of this country no matter how much truly horrifying footage we see of the conduct of the rioters and how much emotion has been injected into this trial that does not change the fact that mr trump is innocent of the charges against him despite all of the video played at no point in their present ation did you hear the house managers play a single example of mr trump urging anyone to engage in violence of any kind at no point did you hear anything that could ever possibly be construed as mr trump encouraging or sanctioning an insurrection. senator's you did not hear those tapes because they do not exist because the act of incitement never happened. he engaged in low language of incitement whatsoever on january 6th or any other day following the election no u

democrats from the house of representatives set in motion a 2nd and pietschmann trial for the former president by delivering the single article of impeachment to the senate. article one incitement of insurrection donald john trump engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors by inciting violence against the government of the united states. the democrats say donald trump's baseless claims of election fraud were an incitement to violence culminating in a speech he gave before congress was set to confirm the election results america we will never give up we will never concede it doesn't happen you don't see. shortly after these remarks a violent mob breached the u.s. capitol building. but yeah. rioters took over the building for hours and forced lawmakers into hiding 5 people died during the assault. while several republicans had criticized trump after the riot on january 6th members of the g.o.p. are now softening their stance and are increasingly criticizing the impeachment proceedings. there is i think the trial is stupid i think it's counterproductive democrats say it's important to hold

be impeached under this clause which provides for the removal from office of the person under the pietschmann attack the house managers contend. that the fact that the chief justice is not providing does not impact the constitution of liddy of this trial notably they devote only a single paragraph of their trial memorandum to development so significant it prompted multiple senators to declare the entire proceeding suspect with got one going so far as to say that it crystallized the unconstitutional nature of this proceeding and the single paragraph that the house managers do devote to the issue is entirely unpersuasive on the merits the house managers position ignores traditional statutory canons of interpretation is well established that a term as a matter of statutory interpretation that a term appearing in several places in a statutory text is generally read the same way each time it appears this presumption is at its most vigorous when a term is repeated within a given sentence additionally the co-ordinate least one instance has referred to a broader quote established canon that similar language contained

now in the house democrats have a wrapped up their 1st full day of arguments donald trump's 2nd pietschmann trial the former president is accused of inciting a riot at the capitol building in which 5 people died last month prosecutors unveiled chilling new video of the violent mob breaking into the building and the subsequent chaos it's. on the 2nd day of the impeachment trial democratic prosecutors wasted little time to make their case. they used security camera footage to reconstruct in painstaking detail how the rioters worked their way into the inner sanctum of u.s. democracy coming within touching distance of the politicians inside. as the riders reached the top of the stairs they were within 100 feet of where the vice president was sheltering with his family and they were just a feet away from one of the doors to this chamber where many of you remained at that time. you can see vice president pence and his family quickly moved down the stairs the vice president turns around briefly as he's headed down. other footage leaves little doubt about the mob's violent intent. what recordings o
