Can someone explain what is going on at the trial now?

I am confused.

1. Some repub said the dems are lying about what he said.

[BigmanPigman]

3. Thank you!

[yardwork]

5. Mike Lee, R-Utah claims he's been misquoted.

He wants the words removed from the record and Leahy seems confused.

12. Leahy had to read what the parliamentarian

Was ruling. I think all the yelling had him flustered. She ruled it wasn’t allowed. Now they are going to vote on her ruling. I think?

[Walleye]

2. Mike Lee wants testimony stricken from the record because he says he never said those things

Doesn’t say what he did say or what was incorrect as if we have to believe him

[Montauk6]

4. Mike Lee is whining and begging that statements attributed to him be stricken from the record

[SharonClark]

6. Claire McCaskill is explaining.... an objection by

Mike Lee. She says the trumpers are getting frustrated and he wanted to disrupt.

[TruckFump]

7. Sen. Lee is asking that statements attributed to him in the prior presentation...

...are struck because he claims they are not true. There was some discussion...jumbled discussion...of what rules applied and how they applied. Then an objection to an immediate vote on the mx to strike by Sen Lee by another Sen because no quorum is present. It appear they are calling roll to determine if a quorum is present.

8. So if it's 50/50

Then what ?
🤔

9. I'm confused. too. The action so far:

Mike Lee (R) from Utah rose from his seat to declare that statements attributed to him as recounted by the impeachment managers were not accurate and he requested that they be "stricken from the record."

They are now counting to establish a quorum.

[soothsayer]

10. And all that was attributed to him is that he handed phone to Turberville.

Apparently it's parliamentarian of senate. She says his motion is out of order. That's what Leahy ruled. The rules of hearing don't give him right to strike his objection.

Lee is a Trump loyalist.

And all that was attributed to him is that he handed phone to Turberville.

[BigmanPigman]

11. Oh brother.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. Glad you asked the question; I missed what started it, too.

I hope the Senate doesn't devolve into the circus that Jacketoff Jordan and that gang in the House created back with the 1st impeachment.

14. sorry, but this pop in my head as I was watching..,

[BigmanPigman]

15. That was a good film!

Nice analogy.
