of submitted their briefs. A very important to note from the outset, this is not an impeachment

trial. This does not meet the constitutional standards of an impeachment trial. They

are not trying the president. They are trying an ex-president. The Chief Justice is not

presiding. They've just got some dem Senator presiding. It is not an impeachment trial.

Nevertheless, they're going to pretend that it is. The House has submitted their arguments.

Their arguments are in just a few words that Donald Trump is singularly responsible for

the riot at the Capitol, which was an insurrection, and therefore we've got to remove him from

the office he's already left. The Trump argument, and the Trump legal team has submitted

their briefs, is that President Trump is no longer the president. He didn't incite an

insurrection and the whole thing is a force. They're going to be making this constitutional

argument that none of this is legitimate whatsoever. I don't want to say a timid argument. It's

a modest argument. It's a smaller argument. It's not making claims about voter fraud. It's

not making claims about the Biden administration. The question for all of us is, will this

Trump impeachment trial fake or real be the greatest show on earth? Will it be Trumpian?

Will it keep us all glued to our seats? Or will it fizzle out? I'm Michael Knowles. This

is the Michael Knowles show.
