servermsh's JournalSen. Ron Johnson angry at Romney, apparently
LOL 
THIS is what this trial is all about! Dividing Republicans! The final vote at the end is only one part of this.
“Ron Johnson turned to Mitt Romney and was upset with him, even pointing at him once. Johnson was visibly upset....”

Dear media: The Senate voted on Raskin's motion. Trump's lawyer didn't make a motion.
Raskin made a motion to call Rep. Herrera Beutler as a witness, and reserved the right to call more.
Trump's lawyer made no motion.
That is what the Senate voted on.
EDIT: I believe Trump's lawyer can now make a motion. I assume the GOP is compiling a list of witnesses.
The Senate is scheduled to go into recess this week - call witnesses!
Just an FYI. For those saying we need to end impeachment now so the Senate can get on to passing the COVID relief bill.
- The COVID relief bill is not ready for a vote.
- The Senate is scheduled to go into recess for a week:

- Witnesses were called in the Clinton impeachment
- Democrats tried to call witnesses in Trump's first impeachment, but were voted down
- The rules allow for the calling of witnesses today
- Witnesses would be deposed on recorded video, which could then be played to the Senate.
EDIT: LOL. Even Romney is OK with calling witnesses

NYT: Georgia Prosecutors Open Criminal Investigation of Trump Call
Let's get the investigations going. Note that this is a new story from today and is separate from Raffensperger's administrative request that he made on Monday.
Fulton County prosecutors have initiated a criminal investigation into former President Donald J. Trump’s January phone call to the Georgia secretary of state asking him to “find” votes.
Prosecutors in Fulton County have initiated a criminal investigation into former President Donald J. Trump’s attempts to overturn Georgia’s election results, including a phone call he made to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Mr. Trump pressured him to “find” enough votes to help him reverse his loss.
On Wednesday, Fani Willis, the recently elected Democratic prosecutor in Fulton County, sent a letter to numerous officials in state government, including Mr. Raffensperger, requesting that they preserve documents related to Mr. Trump’s call, according to a state official with knowledge of the letter. The letter explicitly stated that the request was part of a criminal investigation, said the official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss internal matters.
