And, again, note that he didn't address Trump's unconstitutional request of Mike Pence.
Oh huh. Trump's defense isn't going to address the impeachment case (and seems to ignore his demands of Mike Pence again).
And, again, note that he didn't address Trump's unconstitutional request of Mike Pence.
And lies about Hillary's claims about Russia.
Has this guy ever met Corey Lewandowski?
Again, Van Der Veen is not addressing the actual case.
And he's misrepresenting the requests from LE.
1) Anything before January 6
2) Anything involving Mike Pence
3) Why Trump didn't do anything ON January 6
There's your headline. They have no response to the facts.
Remember: they're playing this to avoid talking about why Trump ordered Mike Pence to do something unconstitutional, and spent 4 months setting up the riot.
Schoen doesn't believe defending the country is a constitutional imperative.
Democrats hate Trump so I won't address all the Trump supporters who said that Trump incited a riot.
They're simply ignoring all the other things that aren't speech, or aren't legal speech. He ordered Pence to do something unconstitutional. He did nothing while the Capitol was attacked.
Also, has he addressed the unconstitutional demand Trump made of Mike Pence?
Uh. Explain how it's on point? You're just gonna leave it there?
Van der Veen: But Raskin should be impeached for a single legal challenge.
A key one, though is that he did nothing as the Capitol was attacked by terrorists.

Trump (who lied abt his inauguration size) says he knows he won bc of rally size.
Trump starts by describing that current margin is what "everyone agrees on."
Trump repeatedly claims that people went to vote but weren't allowed to bc a ballot already cast.
Maybe ... they had already voted? I think he just narced out a bunch of people trying to double vote.

In reality, this is what John Solomon's "SMOKING GUN" says:
Steele was considered reliable (true!), his sources were in a position to report on what they reported on (true!), the reporting corroborated stuff in the report [that, btw, is mostly classified]
This paragraph, for example, includes 3 lies and one exaggeration: First, CIA informed FBI that until 2011, they asked Page questions about the RU intelligence officers trying to recruit him.
That does NOT cover the most alarming thing he did in 2015 or one RU intelligence officer that Page did not tell the CIA about while still an approved contact.
USG had gotten opinions about Steele that weren't entirely favorable (but unsurprising for operations officer), but this is before questions abt source network.

It's absolutely true that the First Amendment only prohibits government action to suppress speech based on its content, but the First Amendment is not the last word on censorship.
