Officials had been telling the public for months that because of Dems disproportionately voting by mail, and Republicans disproportionately voting on Election Day, early results would be misleading based on how states counted votes.... 1/
Axios has some spectacular reporting on Trump's plan to steal the election. Read it all, but this bit was especially incriminating: https://t.co/EfLKPZn0eJ pic.twitter.com/CqMjEPIaVs

What I think many of us didn’t realize is the extent to which some Republicans and MAGA media would help him perpetuate this lie.
It lent further credibility to Trump’s Big Lie. And pernicious lies are what led to the January 6 terrorist attack.
More from Trump
You’d think that if Pence could overturn the election like Trump claimed then Biden surely would’ve taken up that chance
Also this is such a small thing but one thing I noticed in that Trump campaign ad the defense just ran, there were no citations, unlike every clip that the impeachment managers showed
Michael Van Der Veen is giving us the full Fox News Primetime Defense.
PROCESS ARGUMENT.
DRINK.
Lol my guy this is the chance to rebut the evidence that they’ve presented against Trump.
Unless Trump's new lawyer is going to argue Hilary Clinton went to court and lost 60 times and then launched an attack on the Capitol, these clips of Democrats objecting to vote counting and being overruled by VP Biden are a waste of time.

Agree. Also Bannon suggesting that Fauci shld be beheaded & Lyn Wood calling for Pence’s execution. These are Trump’s close advisors. Did Trump ever publicly disavow?
Very good that Rep Raskin is showing the long, consistent history of Trump instigating violence. This context is necessary. They should extend documentation to Trump's advisors -- like Roger Stone calling for a "bloodbath" since 2016 if Trump loses an election #ImpeachmentTrial
