Out of the Senate chamber and here's some of what I saw:
GOP senators seemed to pay attention the most as House Dems played videos of former WH Chief of Staffs Gen John Kelly and Mick Mulvaney laying blame for the Capitol Siege squarely at the feet of former Pres Trump.
Arguments that seemed to move GOP senators the least were when impeachment managers spoke of MI terror plot against Gov Whitmer & when they pointed to Trump encouraging supporters at his past rallies to attack anti-Trump protesters.
There was no visible response from most sens.
Sen Tim Scott, only black Repub senator, watched intently & took notes while video of the deadly racist events in Charlottesville & Trump's "both sides" comments were shown.
Reminder: Scott at the time appealed to Trump to condemn racism more vocally.
