Reporters will have limited access to Senators at the trial.

Cameras will also be restricted.

The one person that probably will not be restricted is Donald Trump. He will likely be tweeting like a mad man. He will be attacking his political enemies even as Senators are not permitted to have their phones.

History will likely record that Donald Trump tweeted attacks upon his political enemies as they adjudicated his impeachment trial.

Even as the Senators debate what constitutes a "fair" trial.

Perhaps a protective bubble around the Capitol would work?

Or, build a wall to protect these GOP Senators from seeing actual voters.

We damn sure can’t obtain footage of them running away from reporters.
