When the Trump defense team won the impeachment case on Feb. 13, Fox commentator Gregg Jarrett wrote an article that day praising the defense lawyers for their outstanding performance, as they concluded the “battle” in less than three of the required 16 hours and, in the first hour of closing arguments, used In the first hour of the closing arguments, they used several “tricks” to demolish the lies that the impeachment managers had been weaving for two days with “beautiful” videos, exposing several weaknesses of the other side and thus winning the case.

Jarrett said the House impeachment managers tried to convince the senators and the American people in attendance to convict Trump with a beautifully produced, movie-like video. And Trump’s defense team did the same thing in the same way as his opponents, but showed the “hypocrisy” and falsification of his opponents, revealing the truth and successfully proving Trump’s innocence.

Curing the hypocrisy of the left by impeaching managers

The House impeachment managers accused Trump of using words like “fight” and “fight like hell” in his speech on the Oval Lawn of the White House on Jan. 6. “The defense team used video to show that these are the exact words often used by leftist lawmakers.

The video shows all of the impeachment managers, as well as Massachusetts Senator Elzabeth Warren, Vice President Kamala Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and other prominent leftist lawmakers have all used these words in similar contexts. The video summarizes that Warren has used these words more than 50 times and Harris has used them more than 70 times.

While the video makes it clear that all of these leftists should be removed from office based on their own definition of “demagoguery,” Trump’s lawyer David Schoen ends the video with a quiet aside: “Don’t worry, you’re all You’re all right” because this type of political speech is protected by the First Amendment.

Hitting the left where it hurts: condoning and encouraging the Antifa riots

The second part of the video shows the left condoning and even encouraging the Antifa riots that took place in several U.S. cities last summer. The video also shows numerous scenes of beatings, looting, arson, vandalism and mass destruction of property, revealing that this connivance and encouragement exacerbated the evil of violent conflict.

In response to the impeachment manager’s charge that Trump should be convicted for “wrongly” informing his supporters of the theft of the 2020 election, the Trump defense team used video flashbacks to show that Pelosi and former presidential candidate Hillary had all complained about the “theft” of the election after the 2016 election ” and that neither Pelosi nor Hillary were ever convicted. The defense team thus easily refuted each other’s lies.

The “best part”: the video debunking the impeachment manager’s fakery

The best part of the video, according to Jarrett, is the part where Sean’s attorney exposes the impeachment manager’s “unscrupulous” falsification and deception.

In the video, Sean says, “The House impeachment manager manipulated the evidence, deceptively edited the video and misrepresented the content of [Trump’s tweets].” Then he proves it with irrefutable evidence.

Sean literally shows in the video that some of Trump’s key tweets were visibly altered by the left and that several videos involving Trump were visibly edited to falsify evidence of innocence into evidence of guilt.

In response, Jarrett said, “If this were in a courtroom, the actions of these prosecutors (impeachment managers) would be considered gross contempt of court and be thrown in jail for it.”

“The heart of success”: exposing lies with the truth

Jarrett believes the core of the Trump defense team’s greatest success was their use of authentic video of Trump’s speech that day, Jan. 6, to refute the lies. For example, they showed the parts of the evidence submitted by the impeachment managers that were intentionally withheld, and exposed the lies of the impeachment managers by comparing the videos submitted by them.

One can see in the video where Trump urges his supporters to “let their voices be heard peacefully and patriotically” to support those Republicans who challenge the election results. Nor does Trump once in the video call for his supporters to use violence or destroy property, as the left claims.

“The impeachment initiated by the left is driven by hatred, vitriol and social opportunism,” Sean said in a voice-over in the video, and accused the left of denying due process to House impeachment hearings, distorting evidence and falsifying facts to accuse Trump in order to get back at a man they have long hated, when their ultimate goal is “to stop Trump from running for president again.”

Impeachment strikes at people’s questions about the fairness of the 2020 election

The defense team’s video says the violent clashes on Capitol Hill were despicable, but they condemn the left for using the Jan. 6 tragedy on Capitol Hill to benefit the party and deny Trump his right to a defense under the First Amendment.

Attorney Michael Van Der Veen concluded that the far left is trying to punish Trump for exercising his right to free speech by impeaching him, and that “this illusory impeachment jeopardizes political free speech for all.”

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, also argued in an interview with Fox that Trump’s impeachment for his Jan. 6 speech was a stunning case of guilt by association, and that the first thing the left wants to delegitimize is the people’s questioning of the fairness of the 2020 election. In this way, anyone who questions the fairness of the 2020 election will be persecuted in some way by the left, such as losing their social media platforms to express their views, or worse.
