I heard someone interviewed about the prosecution's case against Trump. he claimed it was devastating. I have every reason to expect that it is.

Lindsay Graham is screeching about how there can be no witnesses in the upcoming impeachment trial because it will lead to FBI investigations. Apparently in GOP circles this is not expected to be a good thing.

Trump doubles down on false election claim in impeachment response
House impeachment managers said that the ex-president is unmistakably responsible for the Capitol attack.

The legal battle over Donald Trump’s impeachment trial kicked off Tuesday, with the House managers arguing the former president bears “unmistakable” responsibility for the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, and Trump’s team advancing his false claims about the election.

A week before the Senate is slated to put the former president on trial for a second time, the House’s first legal brief outlines a weekslong campaign by Trump to overturn President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory based on unsubstantiated claims of election fraud — culminating in the insurrection at the Capitol while lawmakers were ...

According to a later tweet by the same woman, the story in post 606 is not true.

Question - in a "normal" trial Trump could refuse to appear. Does he have the same right in an impeachment trial?

Esp. since he's no longer Presidunce.

There's a good chance the Republican's performance during the last trial was a major reason they lost the election. Doing something just as stupid now, or trying to twist the case to make it some kind of constitutional referendum is not going to make them any friends.

"I don't even know what it is." ~ House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, on QAnon

Despite McCarthy claiming ignorance of QAnon, he has referenced it in past interviews. In an Aug. 20 interview with Fox News’s Shannon Bream, McCarthy condemned the extremist ideology.

With Fox giving a platform to people like Senator Johnson in the post above, Marjorie Taylor Greene is absolutely right. With Fox, who needs QAnon.
