– The evidence is overwhelming – VG

The House impeachment team has video footage the public has yet to see of the January 6 attack on Congress. These videos will be featured to argue why Trump should be found guilty of accusing his supporters of rebelling.

The video will likely be kept until the end of Wednesday’s session in the Senate.

The Democratic prosecution team is trying to convince senators that Donald Trump built a narrative on voter fraud. According to prosecutors, his intention was to get his followers to resort to violence to oppose the electoral result.

It is also a point that directly invited them to storm the congress building. Without the president’s rhetoric, the violence and assault on January 6 would never have occurred, Democrats believe.

– The evidence is overwhelming. President Trump’s behavior in the period through Jan. 6 was deliberate, planned and deliberate, says Eric Swalwell, one of nine congressional representatives on the prosecution team.

The Supreme Court case continues on Wednesday, 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Norwegian time, after it opened on Tuesday with 56 senators to 44 voting in favor of prosecuting a president who resigned in accordance with the constitution.

Warns against harsh images

The new video images will be part of “a forceful presentation that shows an impression of” extreme violence “in the attack on Congress on January 6,” CNN reported.

The prosecution team has 16 hours, with a maximum of eight per day, to present their case against Trump, while Trump’s lawyers, for their part, also have up to 16 hours to defend the former president.

The leader of the prosecution team, Jamie Raskin, opens the second day with Trump’s remarks in a video on Twitter.

– He praised people who interfered violently in the transfer of power, argues Raskin.

It says that violent videos that are not suitable for children will be presented.

– We will show relevant clips of the attacks on police and other innocents. We encourage parents and teachers to carefully consider what young people see here, and see if they follow them, the prosecutor cautions.

I wanted to shoot Pelosi

Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse maintains that Trump supporters acted on what they thought Trump wanted.

– They thought they were attacking Congress for Trump’s sake. They thought what they were doing was the right thing to do. He had the power to stop this, and he didn’t, Neguse says.

In a prosecution document Neguse refers to, it appears that one of the detainees, Dawn Bancroft, in a video stated that they had plans to shoot Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi in the head.

– We broke into the congress building. We went in, we did our part. We searched for Nancy Pelosi to shoot her in the brain, but couldn’t find her, he said.

Stopped posting ads on January 5

Eric Swalwell notes that Trump spent $ 50 million on ad campaigns claiming to have cheated in the election.

– All these commercials were screened until January 5. Then they stopped. This was deliberate, for fans to come on January 6, Swalwell says.

Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania notes that Trump went from defeat to defeat in the judiciary in his 62 election-related lawsuits. Trump lost 61 of those lawsuits.

The one that won was in Pennsylvania and did not influence the outcome of the election, says Dean.

– Not a single room agreed that something went wrong in the presidential elections, says the congresswoman.

“You have to show strength”

The prosecution team also documents how active Trump was in promoting the rally in Washington on January 6, and that he pressured Mike Pence through posts on Twitter telling his followers that he would win if Pence did what Trump did. wanted.

Dean also shows several excerpts from Trump’s speech on January 6.

“We have to fight much harder and Mike Pence has to deliver with us,” Trump said in an excerpt.

“We will go to Congress, and I will be with you, and we will cheer on our brave senators, congressmen and congressmen, but we probably will not cheer so fiercely some of them. You will never take back our country with weakness.” You have to show strength, “Trump said. in other.

– Trump used the word “peaceful” only once during the speech, which was eleven thousand words long. Yes, we check. And he used the word “fight” 20 times, says Dean.

Unseen video images

Stacey Plaskett and Eric Swallwell are now going through the actual attack on Congress (the Supreme Court case is streamed live in the video window at the top of this article).

The first video clip, which has not been shown publicly so far, shows the first intruders who entered the congress buildings.

A single police officer has no chance of stopping intruders when they break the windows of Congress. He retires.

In a few seconds, dozens of people are inside the building.

We can also see another clip, where policeman Eugene Goodman runs past Senator Mitt Romney and causes the senator to turn around and run after him.

I came close to finding Pence

Stacey Plaskett of the prosecution went through the actual attack on Congress on Wednesday and spent a lot of time showing how close the rebels were to finding Vice President Mike Pence.

– See how Officer Goodman consciously lures the rebels and against the other cops down the hall. While all of this was going on, Vice President Mike Pence was still in the room next to the Senate. It wasn’t until 2:26 p.m. that he was evacuated to a safe place to stay, Plaskett said.

In a video, the prosecution team shows how Pence was escorted, at the same time that the rebels, according to Plaskett, began to spread throughout Congress.

“You can hear the security alarm in the background and you can hear the mob yelling that the vice president of the United States must die,” Plaskett said. Another video shows several insurgents yelling that Pence must be “taken out.”

– It is not surprising that he became the target of his anger, after he refused to reject the result of the elections, continues the prosecutor.

It also shows videos of the rebels looking for Nancy Pelosi. According to Plaskett, they were “willing to kill anyone they got their hands on.”
