Trump Lawyers to Use Videos of Democrats Allegedly Inciting Violence During Impeachment Defense; GOP Senator Compares Impeachment Proceedings to Soviet ‘Show Trial’
By The Epoch Times. Former President Donald Trump’s lead impeachment defense attorney Bruce Castor said that during the upcoming trial in the Senate, he will use video clips of top Democrats allegedly inciting violence.
Castor said the defense team will adhere to the strategy outlined in the brief they submitted to the Senate on Feb. 2. . .
Castor noticed that some Democrats nationwide cheered when the rioters were burning down the cities and attacked the federal law enforcement officers last summer in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd. . .
Amid the Black Lives Matter protests, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) said there should be “unrest in the streets.” (Read more from “Trump Lawyers to Use Videos of Democrats Allegedly Inciting Violence During Impeachment Defense” HERE)

GOP Senator Compares Trump Impeachment Proceedings to Soviet ‘Show Trial’
By The Hill. Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy (R) knocked Democrats on Sunday over the speed at which the House voted to impeach former President Trump last month, comparing it to a “show trial,” the likes of which he said would have been found in the Soviet Union.
Speaking with host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Cassidy said he believed House Democrats had done an “incredibly poor job” at building a case for impeachment ahead of their vote last month. Ten House Republicans joined Democrats in voting in favor of impeaching Trump over inciting an insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“The president wasn’t there. He wasn’t allowed counsel. They didn’t amass evidence. In five hours, they kind of judged, and boom, he’s impeached,” Cassidy said. “Now, I’m told that under the Watergate, under the Clinton impeachments, there were truckloads of information. Here, there was a video. There was no process. I mean, it’s almost like, you know, if it happened in the Soviet Union, you would’ve called it a show trial.”
Cassidy went on to claim that there was no “defensible process” behind the House’s impeachment vote. Despite the characterization and criticism of the proceedings, Cassidy claimed he would act as an impartial juror.
