Graham, Cruz, and Lee met privately tonight with Trump's defense team to talk strategy. ![]() edit: Apparently Trump is mad because he thinks there aren't enough people out there defending him. David Schoen, one of Trump's two main defense attorneys, left the trial today to do a live shot on Fox News. ![]()

Ummmm... So.... How would that go over in an actual court of law? That the defense lawyers conferred with the jurors to ask them what their strategy should be and for the jurors to give them some advice on what would be convincing? I've been on three juries. We were clearly directed not to have any contact with anyone involved in the trial outside of the courtroom. I think Graham, Cruz, and Lee need to be immediately removed from the proceeding and not allowed to vote on the outcome.

Impeachment managers asking for ability to call witnesses. They want to call Herrera Beutler.

Lindsay Graham initially voted nay, then changed it to aye. He's got something up his sleeve. 55-45 for witnesses.

Christie thinks the defense blew it with their presentation yesterday. He thinks they should have said "the defense rests" with no presentation, gone to a vote, and won. Wonder if they're going to subpoena Meadows, McCarthy and others, too. It's gonna be interesting, even if the end result we expect is the same....

And just for fun, one of Trump's lead lawyers isn't there today because it's the Sabbath. The same guy who wanted to quit Thursday night but Trump called him and talked him into staying. Everyone thought it was going to be over today. ![]()

An update to the NYT article Ax posted... There's an agreement to enter Herrera Butler's statement into the record. On behalf of Trump, his attorneys said that the statement is accurate and Trump would not dispute it. No more witnesses. Closing statements begin. First thing Raskin is doing is talking about what Trump said in that conversation with McCarthy that was recounted to Herrera Buetler, and just entered into the record. Crafty Raskin.

I wasn't watching, but apparently McConnell decided to speak after the vote. He's speaking now. OMG. Given what he's saying, I don't understand why he decided to vote not guilty. Maybe because he thought it was unconstitutional to try him.... edit: Yup. He voted to acquit because the "Senate isn't the nation's overarching moral tribunal". But now he's telling us what he really thinks. He sounds like one of the impeachment managers.... This is huge.
