Did/does anyone think he's not getting acquitted? Nothing in McConnell's behavior in the last umpteen years suggested he was suddenly going to play this like a principled man. The impression I get from almost all of the Dem leadership is that they know the Senate is a lost cause, but they did this anyway because someone has to act like checks and balances still exist. I mean yes, we all hope someone on the R side will show a spine, but it's just not likely. ETA: I meant at large, not in here.

Schiff structuring the trial this way is further evidence of a coverup

White house chose Lesko as a "behind the scenes" senator for the impeachment trial. Great choice since she is a shell of a person who just parrots what she is told.

This whole thing makes me feel nauseated. If/when he gets acquitted, I am going to have to deal with so many smug Trumpers here. BLEGH. This America is unrecognizable.

I know we are all upset that he will be acquitted but remember - he will always and forever be impeached. And this is the right thing to do by the constitution. The Dems are on the right side of history and that is important in and of itself. The process does matter even if the final outcome is wrong.

Schumer, 'were not going to have 100 amendments just to delay things.' We have a constitutional duty to do this. this is, this is, (sigh) what the founding fathers meant.

There is no doubt he will be acquitted. He will also then claim he wasn't impeached. Because he is an idiot And his followers will believe it and repeat it ad nauseam.

Is there a live stream from inside the senate chambers? Am I missing something or did they decide not to let media in?

I feel like MSM should have had a seating chart for all the clerks upfront. It would be nice to know who they are or at least what they do.

The CC on my computer just referred to Cipalonni as Baloney and I think I'm going to only call him that now. Thanks closed captions.
