During the second day of the impeachment hearings on Wednesday, we got some more video evidence from the House impeachment managers exhibiting just how close the rioters got to lawmakers during the Capitol siege. “A lot of this was more fully fleshing out how dire the situation was on January 6,” David explains. Stick around for an update on the criminal prosecution of Paul Manafort, new developments at the Department of Justice, the super viral Zoom video of the cat lawyer, and a lament on football-splaining.
Show Notes:

I love you guys at AO, but with your criticism of the House Managers—you failed to identify what would have been the more persuasive route you criticized them for not taking. And if they knew that Republicans weren’t going to be persuaded one way or the other, then why is it cynical to make the case that reinforces Trump’s conduct for at least the last 9 months predictably led to 1/6? I’m pretty sure David and others stated almost immediately that 1/6 was the predictable result of Trump’s presidency. Anyway, I’ll believe there was a better way to go when there is evidence that any other way could have been persuadable.. Republican senators are proving that’ll never be the case.
I, for one, was very relieved when he said "I am not a cat." If cats could ever become lawyers and argue their case, humanity would be doomed. I say that as a human who is owned by a cat.
