Putin must be snickering.

Fact check: Trump lawyers make at least three false claims during impeachment arguments
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's legal team made at least three false claims during Senate impeachment proceedings on Tuesday, plus two more claims we'll call misleading.
We're still going through the transcript of the proceedings and will add to this list as necessary.

FUN FACT: Bernie's Voting Record Is Pro-Gun and Pro-Russia

Happy Impeachment Trial Day

Senate impeachment trial kicks off with revised rules giving three days to each side for opening arguments
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell changed the resolution laying out the rules of President Donald Trump's impeachment trial shortly before it began on Tuesday amid concerns from some key Senate Republicans and an uproar from Democrats.
The new resolution will give the House impeachment managers and the President's team three days each to make their 24 hours of trial arguments, instead of two as McConnell had initially proposed.

I Don't Want To See The Nude Kompromat of Dershowitz That Putin Must Have On This Putz
Harvard law professor and newly-minted member of the Trump legal defense team was making a notably different argument about impeachment and abuse of power during the last impeachment of a president.
According to CNN archival video unearthed by investigative reporter Andrew Kaczynski, Dershowitz told then-host Larry King that impeachment “certainly doesn’t have to be a crime if you have somebody who completely corrupts the office of president and who abuses trust and who poses great danger to our liberty, you don’t need a technical crime.”
