Image: The lure of editing film or video. Here: Motion picture film crew Andrew C McCarthy, @AndrewCMcCarthy, Ball of Collusion; and Thaddeus McCotter, @ThadMcCotter, @theamgreatness, American Greatness, in re: Impeachment opens with Democratic-edited video. Mr Raskin opens the trial with a video. No chance of convicting Trump (can't get 17 GOP votes), so this is done to achieve political objectives, communicate that Trump supporters are neo-Nazi white supremacist villains. They want to divide Republicans for the next few cycles. Cruising toward a verdict on Monday or Tuesday. John Yoo said that an adequate defense would take weeks or months to prepare. He’s quite right, if this were a real trial. Instead, it’s political theater.
