I guess I know why these congressmen are not/are no longer trial lawyers. Horrible open ended questions on both sides.  

[tantric superman 4667]

They didn't even ask the ex-President to come testify!

[B00M 6248]

FINALLY ASKING WJY THE CAPITAL WAS UNPREPARED. FUCK

[tantric superman 4667]

Exculpitated.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Unindefensible.

[tantric superman 4667]

Speaking of legal stuff, every time Pat Leahy speaks, it sounds like a dying declaration hearsay exception.

[B00M 6248]

Of course his defense can't just say when trump called for the NG. Must be damning.

[tantric superman 4667]

"Y'all".  Castro speaks like us.

[Macanudo 12917]

Question from Ted.   This should be rich.

[Macanudo 12917]

Why doesn't a D Senator ask why Graham, Lee and Cruz were meeting with Trump's attorneys?  

[tantric superman 4667]

For god sake Cruz needs to choke on a dick.

@Ghost of LL @TwiceHorn and other lawyers It’s surprising to me that the house managers aren’t citing the very real principle of res ipsa loquitur to answer the issue of how Trump’s words amount to incitement of insurrection.  Any reason why not?

Edited February 12, 2021 by Bozo_Casanova

[tantric superman 4667]

Holy shit, great point.  Trump's argument is that he can simply do again what he did.

He never did.   Never called for the NG.

 

The acting SecDef delayed it and never called for it.

 

An undersecretary of the Army finally ignored the chain of command and did it.

It means- it speaks for itself. Throws the burden on the defense to show Trump's words didn't incite the violence at the Capitol.

Latin for “Pay your retainer ”

It probably would have been better for the future of the country if the mob had managed to kill a senator

[TexasEd 8058]

Ted Cruz is a piece of Shit

[deech 2248]

They can't impeach the President because he's not the President anymore, but they should have spent weeks and months developing evidence.  Love the stupidity.

That's Latin, darlin', evidently @Bozo_Casanova here's an educated man. Now I really hate him. 

In answer to the question, I don't really think this is something to which res ipsa would apply.  You really need to prove the causal connection.

I had a few casual connections in my day.

Wait, what?

Rubio is such a POS. He really slipped in there about impeaching and disqualifying a former SoS. Who could that be?!?!?

This is the Racehorse Haynes tactic:

 

Say you sue me because you claim my dog bit you. Well now, this is my defense: My dog doesn't bite. And second, in the alternative, my dog was tied up that night. And third, I don't believe you really got bit. And fourth, I don't have a dog.

[hayden_horn 11358]

got to say, that move by the senate for eugene goodman was pretty fucking cool.

It worked for LadyG in the Cavanaugh hearings.  It wasn't going well until he started yelling, then suddenly Dems backed down and Cavanaugh got confirmed.

@Bozo_Casanovaand his smooth condescension is the big giveaway of his intellectual superiority to mere mortals like me. 

And to expand up your answer, res ipsa loquitur is more of a tort concept in the United States, not criminal (exceptions apply of course). But this is not a criminal trial, so . . . why not. 

Excellent issue spotting BC. 

[Biff Tannen 45439]

I’m so confused. Latin, moron republicans, Hillary fucking Clinton?!?

[Gap03 3223]

Anyone else ever dream of a plume of Novichok A-234 wafting into a Republican Cloakroom filled with McCarthy, Scalise, Jordan, Gaetz, Nunes, Gohmert, MTG, Stefanik, GunTits, Cawthorn, Roy, Cruz, Hawley, Graham, McConnell, Cornyn, Thune, Ernst, Cotton, Blackburn, Scott, Lee, Johnson, Tuberville, Inhofe and Kennedy? 

No??? Just me???  Oh, no reason ... never mind.   Guess I just need to stop watching the impeachment proceedings ...

um, jamie gangel on cnn has house republicans on the fucking record.

mccarthy called trump, asking him to call off the insurrection, trump said that it isn't his people, it was antifa. mccarthy responded no, these are your people, call it off. to which trump responded "well, kevin, i guess these people are more upset about the election than you are." to which mccarthy yells "do you know who the fuck you're talking to?"

hours later, it should be noted, that mccarthy was back to licking trump's ass objecting to the results of the election.

she had other republicans from the house giving her on the record quotes about that, and how it speaks to trump's state of mind the afternoon of the insurrection.
