When you've got a good case it doesn't take long to make it. Clear, concise, rational, compelling. That's how a good prosecutor operates. On the other hand, did he do the"E Plebnista" speech better than Kirk at the end?

In their attempt to use the 1st Amendment as a defense.

"Donald Trump was just not some guy at a rally speaking. He was speaking as the President of the United States ,inciting a crowd to attack the US Capitol. To attack us doing our Constitutional duty. This is not protected by the 1st Amendment ."

Brilliant, Rep. Raskin.

private then. This is so important and he's been so busy, he hasn't been able to think of anything else, I imagine. He is a true leader.

Weeks ahead.
There will be a verdict.
Then.
There will be the down time that all the Managers will experience.
I pray that Rep Raskin will find some peace and be nourished in his grief with the genuine affection we have for him.

job he and the rest of the House Impeachment Managers did!

Two of our people from Colorado! Negeuse and Degette are both excellent.

But, then...so was the rest of the team. Our party is really getting some new bench strength.

I hate to look at a mess this heinous as an "opportunity" but it sure has been a chance for JR to put himself in the national spotlight. I hope he is recognized appropriately.
