House Democrats leading the impeachment trial in the Senate
against President Trump talked for more than twice as long as
his legal defense team, with the top critic, Rep. Adam Schiff,
speaking 454% longer than the top White House lawyer.

A quickie breakdown compiled by C-SPAN digital producer Courtney
Beesch found that House Democrats used virtually all of the 24
hours they were allotted, while the Trump team used less than
half of their time.

“WH Counsel @JaySekulow spoke for a total of 91 minutes, with 8
appearances at the podium. Lead House Impeachment Manager
@RepAdamSchiff spoke for 505 minutes, with 9 appearances at the
podium,” she tweeted.

In fact, Schiff spoke almost as long as the whole Trump team,
505 minutes versus 586 minutes.

The differences were stark and were welcomed by some senators
who tried not to nod off during the presentation of the
Democrats' partisan impeachment case.

While the Democrats went long, the Trump team went short,
cutting off their final day of defense in part, said one
official, because they didn’t think the Democrats came close to
making their case for conviction.

In the end, the Trump team had 14 hours left over and the
Democrats less than two hours, said the C-SPAN review.

Schiff, who led the House Intelligence Committee proceedings of
Trump and the allegations around aid to Ukraine and the alleged
call for an investigation of the Bidens, ate up about half of
the Democratic time.
