Can Democrats bring up new info regarding Trump's impeachment during closing arguments

and/or individual speeches to defend their final vote? Or, since they voted not to accept witnesses or documents, is new disclosure blocked?

Ghouliani's sidekick brought forth new information on Friday, which should be included, if possible. For one, I should think Cipollone being present during "the call" would disqualify him from being anywhere near the whole impeachment trial/process. What if Bolton releases more information?

Trump might still be acquitted - but it will make it awfully hard for the Repugs to make that vote.

but we also have two public appearances of the Impotus where you just know he's gonna blow it bigly. He's so frustrated that he hasn't been acquitted yet that he'll rant on and on all the while revealing his guilt and commence threatening everyone that he may be writing the conviction vote on the floor of the House on the 4th.

Everyone I know is so frustrated over yesterday's clown show they can't think straight.

I suppose that means I have to watch/listen to the SOTU? Dang!

We used to have a couple of them rolling around until my son dissected a couple for his outrageous fifth grade report on the dodecahedron; I believe he can still fold one from paper blindfolded.

6. According to the defense, they can bring up what is in the house records, or the public domain,

I assume that is the same of the Managers.

They have been doing it all along, so why not now?

The 'pukes defense team was literally making shit up and quoting russian propaganda during their time to talk.

Take the gloves off - we 'know' the outcome from the 'pukes vote anyway.

Let it all hang out IMO.

10. I agree. It is hard to sit and watch all that went on, AND knowing Cipollone was in on the call

that blew the whole thing up, without getting our frustration out in some manner. If for no other reason than to get Trump riled up and spitting/sputtering all kinds of lies. We know he's capable.

I just hope Nadler doesn't have a stroke over all of this. You can tell he is ready to explode, but he has to stay healthy for his wife.
