—

1:15 PM: Lieu pointing out Republicans who criticized Trump as “un-American” and officials who resigned after January 6.

1:02 PM: Lieu says Trump doesn’t deserve a “mulligan” because he didn’t make a “mistake.” He says people show “remorse” if they made a “mistake” and Trump never did. Lieu says Trump only showed “defiance” and was telling us that he would do this again. Lieu says Trump still has not said that the election was not stolen, and that is why there are still National Guardsmen outside the Capitol.

12:56 PM: Lieu up to talk about Trump’s “total lack of remorse.” Lieu says Senators must hold Trump accountable to “send a message” that is it never okay to incite violence against Members of Congress. Lieu says Trump never condemned the attack on January 6. He says Trump called the rioters “special.” Lieu says, as a veteran, he finds is “dishonorable” that Trump never tried to protect Members of Congress with the National Guard and then later tried to take credit for it. He says Trump is just “shameful.”

12:55 PM: Raskin asks if they would bet that Trump would not incite more violence if he ever gets back in office. He says Senators will have no one to blame but themselves if that happens.

12:40 PM: Raskin says Trump often “condoned” violence after the fact at his rallies and adds that Trump knew how to use the “power of the mob” to advance his political objectives in states like Michigan. Raskin says Trump criticized Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer on Twitter and called for “mass mobilization” of his supporters, and it was a sign of things to come. Raskin says after Trump’s “Liberate Michigan” tweet, armed supporters stormed Michigan’s House chamber building. He says this was a “dress rehearsal” for January 6, as the supporters carrying confederate flags looked like the rioters and insurrectionists on January 6. Raskin says Trump continued to incite the mob against Whitmer, and conspirators later planned to kidnap and “assassinate” Whitmer. He says Trump never condemned the plotters.

12:30 PM: Raskin says DeGette explained in “chilling detail” how the insurrectionists did what Trump told them to do. He claims Trump “cultivated” extremist insurrectionist groups to ready them for their most “dangerous mission”–to keep Trump in office. Raskin says Trump “road-tested” tactics for January 6. He talks about Trump’s “pattern and practice” of “inciting violence.”

12:26 PM: DeGette says all of the people who have been arrested and charged are being held accountable and their “leader” who “incited them” must be held accountable as well.

12:17 PM: DeGette says insurrectionists did not think they would get in trouble because Trump ordered them to be there. She says Trump supporters who have been federally charged have said they were “only doing” what Trump asked them to do. She says many took Trump’s “stand back and stand by” comments as a “call to arms.” She says they all said what Trump said and “echoed each other” throughout the insurrection.

12:10 PM: DeGette says insurrectionists with confederate flags were yelling about “civil war” and numerous posts on Parler called for “civil war” as well. She plays more video of the crowd chanting “fight for Trump,” as they had been doing at nearly every post-election rally. She says rioters posted on social media that they were waiting to “take orders” from the president. She plays video of rioters saying that they thought Trump would be “happy.” She when Trump finally told the insurrectionists to go home, only then then some of the mob started to go home.

12:03 PM: Raskin says Rep. DeGette (D-CO) will show how the insurrectionists believed they were following Trump’s “marching orders.” She is recalling her experience on January 6. She says she saw police officers pulling their guns as rioters tried to get on the House floor. She says she saw SWAT teams pointing automatic weapons at “marauders” on the floor as she was being escorted to safety. She says the statements of the insurrectionists make clear that the attack was done for Trump, at his instruction. She says Trump “sent them there.” She says many tagged Trump in tweets after taking photos. She plays a video of the crowd cheering after Trump says “stop the steal.” She says Trump basked after the crowd chanted “fight for Trump.” She says the crowd responded “storm the Capitol” and “invade the Capitol” after Trump told them to “show strength.”

12:02 PM:

12:01 PM: Trial resumes.

11:50 AM: Trial will resume at noon. House managers reportedly do not plan to use all eight hours and will hammer home the point that Trump gleefully watched the riot and had “no remorse.”
