0:00.0	So that was quite a show put on by Donald Trump's lawyers at today's session of
0:07.8	the impeachment trial. Let's do a quick recap and let's continue to ask ourselves
0:15.6	is there any chance at the end of this circus that we are going to see
0:22.3	anything that approximates justice? Because justice matters.
0:42.4	Hey all, Glenn Kirschner here. So yes, I've got the tie on. I've got the ear buds

1:40.5	question and answer session. First of all, my over, my over riding impression is
1:47.7	Donald Trump's defense lawyer, this van der Veen character is a real piece of
1:54.2	work. He's a Philly lawyer and I love Philly having grown up in New Jersey. He's
1:59.2	spent a lot of time in Philly, but this guy did not do Philly lawyers proud. He
2:05.1	was insulting. He was disparaging. He was alienating. He was offensive and he
2:10.5	wouldn't even answer questions posed by the Republican senators. He was so
