  1. A central paradox of the trial:

    (1) Trump’s lawyers will argue that Trump’s supporters on Jan 6 were not controlled by Trump.

    (2) Republican Senators will vote to acquit because they believe that Trump’s supporters are highly controlled by Trump.

  2. @maggieNYT points out Trump & Giuliani called senators during the riot to get them to use the delay to prevent the Senate from reconvening. “Trump’s lawyers have argued that none of the violence is connected to him.” In fact, he tried to use the violence to his advantage.
