That wasn't a defense

The video montages looked like campaign commercials to me. Snips of different conversations, out of context, to promote lies. It doesn't feel like they were even trying, with the show trial McConnell promised, so they shifted right to advertising

It's like they think of an impeachment trial as nothing more than a forum for Russian propaganda.

They had nothing. Didn't even try. To me, it was like they decided to treat a Constitutional trial as one big commercial about how the whole House Impeachment was unfair and phony. Their video played (to me) like campaign ads for Glorious Leader, a Saturday morning infomercial for their base if you will

And I just saw a report that the House Managers turned over more than 28,000 documents and records. Trump's team? ZERO! They have nothing and are just counting on those 53 Republican Senators shutting their eyes and plugging up their ears to vote with The Orange One!

I figured it would be like the mob, get up wink at the jury you bought and sit down.
