Thank God the Republicans had enough awareness to shorten their first day of arguments, because it would've been brutal to have to watch endless hours of this on a weekend. They will really dive into their case on Monday.

That being said, Michael Purpura, Deputy Counsel for President Donald Trump, told the Senate during day one of the Republican defense portion of the Senate impeachment trial about "six key facts" that would essentially be "enough to sink the Democrats' case."

Here's video of Purpura laying out the "facts":

 

Just in case you'd like a list of the "facts," as presented by Purpura, check out the list below:

1) The call transcript show NO LINK between investigations and security assistance or a presidential meeting.

2) Ukrainians REPEATEDLY have said there was NO QUID PRO QUO, and they felt NO PRESSURE.

3) Ukraine DID NOT KNOW security assistance was paused until more than a month after the call.

4) NONE of the Democrats' witnesses say President Trump linked investigations to security assistance or a meeting.

5) Ukraine announced no investigations and STILL RECEIVED security assistance and a presidential meeting.

6) President Trump STRENGTHENED U.S. support for Ukraine.
