Adam Schiff and the House Democrats did a masterful job in laying out the evidence during the first of three 8-hour days.
The GOP members of the Senate claimed boredom – snacking, yawning, doing crossword puzzles, and perhaps even napping. Lots of empty seats, though the rules require them to stay. Which is strange because they claim to not have heard the evidence during House hearings.
And Chief Justice John Roberts is doing nothing to enforce the rules.
David Corn of Mother Jones tweeted:
Imagine if Chief Justice Roberts stated that he will not allow counsel for either side to get away with stating explicit and demonstrable lies. Just imagine that.
Feminist Next Door tweeted:
Biased process ✔️
Evidence ignored ✔️
Accuser demonized ✔️
Ulterior motives suggested ✔️
Witnesses intimidated ✔️
Friends lie for accused ✔️
Conduct defended as lawful ✔️
Is this an impeachment trial or a rape case?
Aaron Rupar tweeted:
Fox News has the optics of covering the #ImpeachmentTrial without actually covering it. They've been showing screen-in-screen video of the proceedings without audio. Instead, hosts are providing Trumpian spin. It's propaganda giving the illusion of journalism. Remarkable.
