No, it isn't; because it if was, this wouldn't be accepted as evidence.

You recall seeing one like that at Monticello, do ya? https://t.co/PTdPU4QB2h

Gotta say, some of the best snark on Twitter is Maggie Haberman snark.  And if this was a criminal trial,  the "jurors" wouldn't be allowed to do this:

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley — who objected to Biden’s win and encouraged the Capitol attack — is currently sat with his feet up in the Senate gallery. Not once has he paid attention to the impeachment trial.

It's okay; he's absolved himself of all responsibility:

Hawley said Democrats are presenting their case in a "very understandable, easy-to-follow manner." But he added: "I don't think it's going to change any minds. In my view, we don't have jurisdiction."
