House Managers will need to cite evidence in support of the Articles of Impeachment. Creating those, and transmittal matters are up to the Speaker of the House, noted in the Senate rules of impeachment. No such highlighted parts in blue of the Nostra posts are included in the Senate rules. Then the jurors in fact can take votes on any evidence.
The difficulty with the trial is any arbitrary and capricious determination, like in the announcement of Louisiana Senator Cassidy: That only emotions--hatred of Donald John Trump, (the Pathological Liar In Charge)--are the basis of the Articles of Impeachment. The Articles include the one also embarrassing: The Cover-ups protecting all the fantasies(?).
Then in the link(?) Issues like how much soybean Tariff Bailout Money should be sent to Senator Grassley should be the business of the Senate Instead(?)--anyone infers(?). Soybean bailout money is all over the funding, and the Senator is a soybean farmer-partner, doing no farming himself.
THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT ARE DIRECTLY ABOUT WHITE HOUSE CORRUPTION. Exposing the Corruption of all the Republican Senators is not what it is about. Many in the public might call the soybeans money evidence of corruption on its face--regarding some people, not recusing from the bailout.
