Trump Impeachment Trial Day Two; WATCH: GOP Senators Not Impressed by ‘Disorganized’ Trump Legal Team; Cruz: Impeachment ‘a Lot of Moralizing, Venting ‘Hatred for Donald Trump’
By Townhall. Conservative firebrand Sean Hannity interviewed Trump impeachment lawyer David Schoen on his show Tuesday night and pressed him on whether the former president’s legal team will be better prepared as the trial continues in the Senate.
Hannity isn’t the only one who noticed the team’s lackluster and oftentimes confusing performance. A number of Republican senators, many who are Trump allies, are speaking out about the arguments that were made.

Cruz: Impeachment ‘a Lot of Moralizing, Venting ‘Hatred for Donald Trump’
By Breitbart. . .The Texas Republican lawmaker signified there was room for improvement for Trump’s defense but decried House managers’ impeachment effort as “moralizing” and venting of “hatred for Donald Trump.
“Well, there’s no doubt that lawyers could tighten it up some, but at the end of the day, I think today typified what we’re going to see this week, which it reminds me of Shakespeare,” he said. “It’s full of sound and fury signifying nothing. We’re going to see this week a whole lot of Democrats pounding the table. We’re going to see a lot of moralizing and a lot of really venting their hatred for Donald Trump. In case you haven’t been paying attention the last four years, the Democrats really, really hate Donald Trump, and they’re going to attack President Trump over and over again, every way they can. They’re going to bring in — you know, the idea that they’ve got — you know, Swalwell coming in.” (Read more from “Cruz: Impeachment ‘a Lot of Moralizing, Venting ‘Hatred for Donald Trump’” HERE)
