Donald Trump was acquitted in his second impeachment trial on February 13, 2021. The defense team utilized 14-minute supercuts of Democrat politicians using the word "fight" to counter the incitement charges. Major networks including MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News aired the full "very fine people" clip from Charlottesville for the first time in years during the proceedings.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1320-quarantine-dodgers/chapter/donald-trump-second-impeachment-trial-legal-performance.md

The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump is characterized as a "show trial" with mediocre legal representation on both sides. Observations include Jamie Raskin's performance and the use of profanity on C-SPAN radio during testimony regarding Bill Barr's dismissal of election fraud claims. A specific critique is leveled at a lawyer's use of the word "anyways" during formal proceedings.

### Senate Conviction Strategy and Mitch McConnell's Leverage

- **Episode:** [1312: iPhony](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1312-iphony.md)
- **Published:** 2021-01-15

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1312-iphony/chapter/senate-conviction-strategy-and-mitch-mcconnell-s-leverage.md

Following the House impeachment, the focus shifts to the Senate trial where a two-thirds majority is required for conviction. While ten House Republicans led by Liz Cheney supported impeachment, the Senate requires 17 Republicans to join Democrats. Speculation suggests Mitch McConnell may be using the trial as leverage for the 2022 elections rather than a genuine attempt to convict Trump after he leaves office.

The hosts theorize that the timing of the Senate impeachment trial was orchestrated to keep rival senators in Washington D.C., allowing Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg to campaign unimpeded in Iowa. They argue the DNC is actively working to thwart Bernie Sanders' momentum. They also note the DNC's rule change regarding donor thresholds to accommodate Mike Bloomberg.

President Trump's legal team, led by Jay Sekulow, began their defense in the Senate impeachment trial by attacking Adam Schiff's characterization of the Zelensky phone call. The defense argues that the President did nothing wrong and that the House managers' case is a partisan hoax intended to influence the upcoming election. Republican senators like Joni Ernst praised the defense for "shredding" the prosecution's case.

Senator Mitt Romney has indicated he is likely to vote in favor of calling witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial. This move comes as House Manager Jerry Nadler is criticized for insulting the Senate "jury," potentially losing the support of other swing-vote Republicans. The hosts characterize Romney as a "creep" who is positioning himself as a hero while avoiding scrutiny of his own family's ties to Ukraine.

President Donald Trump has assembled a legal "dream team" for his Senate impeachment trial, including constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz and former independent counsel Ken Starr. Both men were previously involved in the legal defense or prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein in Florida. Dershowitz intends to focus on the constitutional case against the abuse of power allegations rather than the specific factual disputes of the case.
