The House impeachment side’s alleged use of editorial manipulation of evidence in the prosecution and defense has been repeatedly uncovered. Photo shows Trump‘s defense attorney in the impeachment trial, Kuster, giving a speech during the trial.
The impeachment trial against former President Donald Trump (R-TX) entered its 4th day on Friday (Feb. 12). House impeachment managers admitted that they added a “blue verification tag” to the quoted pro-Trump tweets in testimony evidence. The Trump defense pointed out that it was in fact an editorial manipulation of false testimony, and the impeachment side denied tampering with the evidence, arguing that it was “inadvertent” and refusing to correct the error.
The impeachment manager cited the well-known Twitter account Jennifer B. in his previous trial arguments. The trial manager cited the well-known Twitter account Jennifer Lynn. The impeachment manager cited two tweets from Jennifer Lynn Lawrence, a well-known Twitter account, in his previous trial argument. The impeachment manager marked both tweets with a blue check mark. However, Lawrence said this week that her Twitter account and tweets do not have a blue hashtag.
The social media giant Twitter uses a blue check mark to indicate that the information on the account and tweets is “verified.
Blue tag incident
On Friday, the Trump defense challenged this in its arguments, according to a live impeachment video broadcast by C-Span and others.
Senior Democratic aides to the House impeachment manager acknowledged that the graphic they presented during the trial showing pro-Trump tweets with blue verification marks was “wrong,” but said it was an “accidental, unintentional” move.
During the trial, one of the two tweets by Lawrence used by the impeachment manager was retweeted by Trump. The tweet said, “We’re bringing it to Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6.”
In a subsequent tweet, Lawrence said, “We are bringing Calvary to Washington, D.C.”
However, impeachment manager Eric Swalwell (D-Mass.), who is also a member of the board of directors, said he would not be able to bring it to Washington, D.C. In his speech, Eric Swalwell wrote the tweet “Calvary” as “cavalry” and added a blue marker to suggest that Lawrence was expected to bring an army to the capital.
One of the meanings of the word “calvary” is “a public manifestation of the crucifixion of Jesus.”
Lawrence herself explained the term by saying she was using “crucifixion” as a religious term, not “cavalry. In a blog post this week, Lawrence said, “I’m not good at riding horses, I’m from New York.” “I’m also not in the military, so using the word cavalry would be silly.”
She lashed out at the misrepresentation of her words, “It’s a wonder Rep. Swalwell doesn’t understand that word.”
Rep. Eric Swalwell, R-Calif. Swalwell has previously been under fire for his affair with Fang Fang, a female Communist spy, but House Speaker Pelosi (D-Calif.) considers him “trustworthy.” In the impeachment approval, his role as the impeachment manager has again raised concerns and worries.
Trump’s team exposes impeachment party’s patchwork manipulation of false testimony
Trump’s defense team argues that the impeachment manager deceptively edited and pieced together a video that cut out key statements made by Trump. And those statements are diametrically opposed to Democrats’ claims that the former president instigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Democratic aides objected that it was Trump’s own lawyers who manipulated the Democratic tape using the word “fight” and other inflammatory language.
“Trump’s lawyers made false allegations about selective editing by House managers,” the Democratic aide said. Democratic aides said.
Democrats said they had demonstrated the Trump video twice. The video called for protesters to walk to the Capitol and “peacefully and patriotically” cheer on lawmakers who were holding a joint session in the House and Senate that day to certify the election results.
However, the Democratic aide’s words were exposed as untrue on the spot. Trump’s defense team cited a clip in which the impeachment side edited out the words “peacefully and patriotically” from Trump’s words.
Despite this, the Democratic aide refused to correct the error, threatening that the impeachment manager would insist on using “cavalry” instead of “calvary.
