Something’s been going on during the Senate impeachment trial. Something more people need to know about. Have you been paying attention? If not, get down on your knees and thank your lucky stars that someone out there has been:
No, Republicans weren't banned from the SCIF. No, Trump's lawyer wasn't banned from Judiciary. No, Democrats didn't take "33 days" to transmit the articles.

It wasn’t just Sekulow who used the 33 days figure, either. It was repeatedly referenced later in the evening as the other attorneys spoke

Yep. Trump’s lawyers said “33 days” nine times yesterday. Sekulow, Cipollone and Philbin all used it. It was a talking point, not a brief slip. https://t.co/yxTfmQWuB1

Alert the Pulitzer Prize committee.
Been a Christian my entire life and 33 has never been an important number to anything. Take the colander off your head.

55378008 is an important number to middle schoolers. When you type it on a calculator and hold it upside down, it looks like BOOBLESS.

What happens when you play the record backwards?

33 was Larry Bird number. Larry Bird had a mustache. John Bolton has a mustache. This is Trump lawyers way of threatening Bolton’s life if he testifies.

David Lazarus' last name is Lazarus. Lazarus is the name of the man Jesus raised from the dead. David Lazarus is a Russian asset.
