Trump impeachment trial's six most interesting first-day moments
The first day had moments of both drama and substance
By Morgan Phillips | Fox News

After four hours of emotional testimony and bitter debate, Day One of the Trump impeachment trial has drawn to a close in the Senate.

Here’s a recap of six key moments:

Senate votes trial is constitutional

The Senate voted to move ahead with the historic impeachment trial, despite some Republican concerns that impeaching a president already out of office would be unconstitutional.

The vote was 56-44.

The six Republicans who joined with the Democrats on voting to continue the trial were Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.

Cassidy had switched his vote from a previous point of order brought up last week by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. He said he did not view the 55-to-45 vote on Paul's resolution as revealing how senators would vote when it comes to whether or not to convict Trump.

"It was a vote in a moment of time. And so, based upon what senators knew at that point and felt at that point, they then voted. But we will now have, hopefully, presentations from both sides, and we will consider the evidence as impartial jurors," he said on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday.

Senate approves impeachment timeline

The trial is slated to continue through the weekend with no days off, under a resolution authored by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and GOP Leader Mitch McConnell.

The eight-page bipartisan resolution set out the rules and timeline for Trump's second impeachment trial in an effort to complete the unprecedented proceedings in a fair and speedy fashion.

Trump's defense team got two hours to explain why the Senate trial shouldn't go forward, and the House impeachment managers, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., gott two hours to explain why the trial is warranted even for a departed president.

"Unlike the previous impeachment, Leader McConnell and I are introducing the resolution together. No one can claim it's not fair," Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday. The resolution passed 89-11.

The trial will begin again Wednesday at noon in a similar fashion.

Democrats pull up graphic video of Capitol riot

As could be expected, lead impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., immediately cued up a graphic video of the Jan. 6 attack.

Funny, but I didn't learn a thing from the video. The only thing at all interesting was hearing the Proud Boys at minute 6:50.

The only reason why you did not learn anything from this report Steve, is because you have never seen this report.

Now you want to update this LIE with this: Ron, I'm talking about the 13:30 minute video Jamie Raskin played this afternoon. At minute 6:50 I can hear the Proud Boys.

That first day was a BAD DAY for Trump's legal team. Steve, was you and Trump's first attorney, was you two together smoking that 💩 before he tried to defend 45?

I wonder why X President Trump could not get a better defence team then his leading attorney?

The Senators know the trial is a complete and total waste of time. It's a given the Democrats will lose. Trump will emerge from his hibernation, and he'll be hungry so look out.

The trial is NOT for The Senators Steve, this information is now X President TRUMP planned his last chance, in his mind, to remain, president, but the mission failed and PENCE called BIDEN the official winner of The 2020 Presidential election.

Now, Steve, I know you think X President TRUMP has gaslighted you to believe he is still president but here's the proof:

Pence declares Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/polit...

Steve, you can watch Congress finished counting the final electoral votes and Vice President Pence declared Joe Biden the president-elect during a joint session of Congress on Jan. 7 for yourself Steve.

Ron! At the end of this short mockery of a trial the Senate will acquit the 45th President. That's all that matters.

The bottom line is X President Trump will still be X President and it also proofs that you can be provoked to violence on the LIES of want to be KING of The U.S.A. and that day will not happen now.

It is over and TRUMP can move on because his dream of being 2020 President will not happen, WAEK UP FY FU.

Sure Ron, he'll beat your rap twice and move on. What does that tell your sorry ass? You lose.

Let's talk FACTS and I 'am talking about the here and the now and "NOT" that, which you just pulled right out of your as, Steve.

The people of The United States of America will "NOT" let that happen, not by the power of THE VOTE."

Trump lost by 7 million votes and YOU can get over that!
