Impeachment Day 3 Open Thread
By 
Trump’s lawyer David Schoen took a break as the House impeachment managers were trying their case on the third day of the Senate impeachment trial for an interview with Fox News.
Schoen told Fox that Trump is “very upbeat” and he doesn’t want to be associated with the violent incident. “He’s quite offended at trying to be tied into it,” he said.
On criticism Trump’s other lawyer Bruce Castor has received for his performance the first day of the trial, Schoen said, Castor “got up the first day, he jumped right into it to respond to something that had been said and I think he’s been very, very unfairly maligned, frankly … let’s just see how this thing plays out.”
Asked about the No. 2 Senate Republican John Thune’s comments that the House managers did an “effective job” and were “connecting the dots” from Trump’s words to the insurrection, Schoen argued the videos shown were taken out of context and were presented as an “entertainment package.”
Jonathan Turley suggests that the Senate taking Trump’s words on January 6th and for weeks and months and years before as if he meant what he said when he uttered them could eventually lead to the impeachment of Antifa:
