Fhello president joe Biden Who left the “hunch” today, hours before the start of the second day of presentation of the arguments of the prosecution in the Senate trial, that “some minds may rethink” the exoneration of Trump, after seeing the presentation of the team of prosecution.
In the same chambertimes where the 06 of janeiro there were scenes of terror among the senators, with supporters of the former president trying to break down the door, while in Congress Joe’s victory was confirmed Biden, the prosecution tried today to establish a causal link between the unprecedented events and Trump’s “incitement”.
The team of nine Democratic prosecutors, members of thetimes of Representatives, began the presentation of arguments saying that Trump should be condemned for “inciting insurrection”, and showed images, some unpublished, of the violent entrance of a crowd in the Capitol, from windows and doors and shouting threats to the vice president and to the Speaker of the Chambertimes two Representatives.
Images released by Congressional prosecutors, who are leading the Trump trial, reveal how close the mutineers were to the leaders of the USA, filling the aisles as he sings “Hang Mike Pence.”
Among the first to enter the Capitol were uniformed combat clothing and members of extremist groups.
Vice President Pence, who presided over the session of Congress to certify Joe’s electoral victory. Biden about Trump, which earned him his censure, is shown to be carried out hastily to a safe place with your family, the short distancencia two invaders.
A president of Câtimes two Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, was taken out of the complex, while his employees were hiding behind the gates.
Policemen, submerged by the crowd, frantically shouted “We lost the line! We lost the line” and were advised to seek safety.
The footage shows one officer being crushed by the crowd and prosecutors said another suffered a heart attack. A third died later.
House Democratstimes of the Representatives showed a lot of evidence from Trump himself – hundreds of messages from the social network Twitter and comments – culminating in his appeal of janeiro, for the crowd to go to the Capitol and “fight like never before” to reverse their defeat.
Afterward, Trump did nothing to stop the violence and “with joy” saw the crowd attack the building, they said. Five people died.
“To us, this seems like chaos and madness, but there was a method in the madness of this day,” said Representative Jamie. Raskin, a Democrat elected by the state of Maryland, who accused Trump of being the instigator of the attackers.
On Friday, it will be Trump’s turn to present arguments and, if no witnesses are called to testify, as seems likely at this point, the vote could take place this weekend.
In the initial vote on the constitutionality of the trial, on Tuesday, Republican senators closed ranks, with only 6 (of 50) voting alongside Democrats, with 56 votes and 44 against the start of the trial.
Among the votes in favor, the only unexpected one was that of the Republican senator from Louisiana, Bill Cassidy, who previously declared against the process, but who changed his position after the arguments about the constitutionality of the process were presented.
The votes against Senators Susan Collins (State of Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitt Romney (Utah), Ben Sasse (Nebraska) and Pat Toomey (Pensilvtogirl).
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell voted against continuing the process, as expected.
The Constitution states thatthe impeachment process of the former president – which would imply the impossibility of running again for the presidency in the future, something he has admitted to doing – must be approved by at least two-thirds of the 100 senators, that is, if the 50 Democrats add 17 Republicans, but of these few they are in favor of condemning the former president.
Trump is the first president to face impeachment twice in the same period and the only one to be politically tried after he has already resigned.
Today, the prosecution also used videos of supporters Trump outside the Capitol on the 6th janeiroOne claimed to have been “invited” to the protest, another to have been “sent” by the former president and another who would be “happy” that the invaders “fight for him.”
In the end, Trump’s attorney David Shoe, considered the Democratic presentation “insulting”, arguing that a connection with the former president has not been established and that the only effect of the images is “to divide the American people.”
At the end of the second day of discussions, according to the AP, the senators appeared tired and uncomfortable, with some leaving the chamber to relax.
One of them, Republican James Inhofe (State of Oklahoma) said the charge “the more you talk, the more you lose credibility.”
