Atlanta Falcons vs Carolina Panthers: Roddy White - Ring of Honor

They are fishing but fishing with the 'ph'-fishing word, where they're 'phishing' for information...including social security numbers, drivers license numbers, things like that.'  It's a warning from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources - if you are looking to apply and buy a state fishing or hunting license, do NOT enter any information on the website with the address 'georgiafishinglicense.online' - it's a scam. Mark McKinnon with Georgia DNR's Law Enforcement Division says online users are coming up on the fake site when doing a Google search. 'The incorrect site does have the word Georgia Fishing License in it.'  'They're really looking for information and trying to steal the identity of people is what we believe,' McKinnon says.  The scam website has been active for at least the past few days, with DNR getting calls about it from north Georgia and the coast. While other Georgia agencies have had to deal with fake websites in the past, McKinnon says this is the first of its kind that he can remember, that DNR has had to deal with. Officials are working to have it shut down. McKinnon stresses the only legitimate online site to apply for Georgia fishing and hunting licenses, is gooutdoorsgeorgia.com  'If you do feel like you've been scammed by this website, we'd like for you to call the DNR law enforcement division and investigative unit, and that number is 770-918-6408,' says McKinnon.

One woman is behind bars after she allegedly vandalized an ATM with a golf club. Tiffany Withers, 38, is charged with vandalism after her debit card got stuck in the ATM and she beat it with a golf club, according to an affidavit. A security risk investigator found the ATM at the First Horizon Bank in the 3100 block of Mendenhall Rd. vandalized. She said Withers vandalized the ATM with a golf club and then fled the scene in a gray, four-door vehicle, police said. The investigator also told police that Withers was upset after her debit card got stuck in the ATM. Withers damaged the touch screen and plastic housing to the machine, according to police. The investigator received an estimate to repair the ATM of over $4,300. There was video of the vandalism. The investigator identified Withers as the person responsible for the vandalism Jan. 21 and Withers gave a verbal and written statement after waiving her Miranda rights, the affidavit stated. She was then taken into custody, charged and transported to jail. She was released and is due in court Friday.

After nearly 13 hours of debate, 11 attempts at amendments and an admonition by the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, the rules to govern the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump were passed early Wednesday along party lines. The vote on the organizing resolution introduced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, came just before 2 a.m. Wednesday.  The final version of the rules that McConnell submitted Tuesday morning remained unchanged despite numerous attempts by Democrats to amend the rules to allow for everything from requiring Roberts to rule on motions to subpoena witnesses to calling former national security advisor John Bolton to testify. Under the rules passed Wednesday, House managers and Trump’s lawyers each will have 24 hours to argue their cases. The opening arguments are scheduled to begin Wednesday. Each side will have 24 hours over three days to outline their cases. After both sides present their arguments, senators will then have 16 hours to ask questions. The questions must be submitted in writing, per the rules of impeachment. After opening arguments and questions from senators, the Senate will consider whether to subpoena additional witnesses or documents. The trial will resume at 1 p.m. ET. Follow along with live updates here beginning at noon.

According to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, a good number of people also doubt the Senate impeachment trial will do anything to change their minds. The AP reports: “Overall, the public is slightly more likely to say the Senate should convict and remove Trump from office than to say it should not, 45% to 40%. But a sizable percentage, 14%, say they don’t know enough to have an opinion.” The Senate reconvenes 7:22 p.m. ET Jan. 22, 2020: The trial is resuming and Schiff is picking up the chronology of Trump’s dealings with Ukraine. He says his team will need about two more hours to finish what they have planned for tonight.

Wandering senators 5:10 p.m. ET Jan. 22, 2020: Apparently attention spans, or at least short ones, are becoming a problem at the impeachment hearing.  House manager Crow complained to Chief Justice Roberts about people moving around while he is speaking. He offered to let everyone have a break then he would continue. Roberts told him to go on with his presentation. McConnell stood up and said he had planned to suggest a 30-minute break for dinner at 6:30 p.m. Many senators seem to be having a tough time staying in their seats, according to several media reports. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told CNN that the repetition in House managers’ presentations is becoming difficult to sit through. “I think we’re already beginning to lose certainly the television audience and maybe the press to some extent, but certainly senators are struggling to try to see why we have to sit there, sit hearing the same arguments over and over and over and over again,” Cornyn said. Other senators, both Republican and Democratic have been seen standing along the back wall or leaving the chamber for a break.

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” 'Corruptly used a White House visit ... ’ It’s more than crazy 2:55 p.m. ET Jan. 22, 2020: Its more than crazy, Schiff says, talking about what Ambassador Bill Taylor said about a quid pro quo with Ukraine. “It’s abuse of power,” he said. “And I don’t’ think impeachment power is a relic.

The letter will be in support of Trump’s legal defense in the impeachment trial. It reads, in part: “Impeachment should never be a partisan response to one party losing a presidential election. If successful, an impeachment proceeding nullifies the votes of millions of citizens. The Democrat-controlled House passing of these constitutionally-deficient articles of impeachment amounts, at bottom, to a partisan political effort that undermines the democratic process itself. Even an unsuccessful effort to impeach the President undermines the integrity of the 2020 election. Here’s how the House managers case will go 1:44 p.m. ET Jan. 22, 2020: Schiff has laid out how the House managers will present their case. First, he said, what Trump did will be presented in a narrative form including a timeline. Then, Schiff said, managers, will explain the constitutional framework of impeachment.

Pam Bondi, former Florida attorney general, immediately challenges Garcia’s presentation saying she has some fact errors in her defense of the amendment. Bondi goes on to slam the House impeachment inquiry as a “one-sided circus.'

Crow repeated that he knows what it feels like to not have the equipment you need in combat. Sekulow said the aid Crow is talking about was for future expenditures, it was not for current spending. Crow responded to Sekulow saying that in combat, delays matter, and that it was Congress that got the aid to Ukraine by passing another law. Schiff says the argument that Ukraine eventually got the aid is a bad one since they got the aid because Trump “got caught.” Sekulow ends his response by saying, “This all started with a whistleblower. Where is that whistleblower.” A third amendment that will be tabled 6: 45 p.m. ET Jan. 21, 2020: McConnell let the senators know that after the arguments for and against Schumer’s amendment for documents from the Department of Defense and the Office of Management and Budget he will move to table that amendment and break for 30 minutes for dinner.

What the House is doing, Philbin says, is asking the Senate to do their job for them. Philbin says subpoenas issued by the House were invalid since there was no vote to launch an impeachment investigation. Philbin says that the issue is not whether the Senate will consider if there will be witnesses, but when there may be witnesses. He repeats that the House should be able to make a presentation that they have spent weeks on 3:33 p.m. ET Jan. 21, 2020: Lofgren is speaking in favor of Schumer’s amendment.

Schiff responds to Cipollone’s response to his presentation 3:30 p.m. ET Jan. 21, 2020: After the break, Schiff is recognized to speak in favor of Schumer’s resolution.

He points out that Schiff made up a false version of Trump’s call to the Ukrainian president. He also says there is evidence that was given in private to the House investigators that the president’s legal team has not seen. “He has the temerity to come into the Senate and say we have no use for courts,” Cipollone says about Schiff’s comments. Cipollone asks Schiff for documents concerning his conversations with the whistleblower who first alerted Congress to Trump’s call to He claims Schiff has yet to turn over any document related to his contact with the whistleblower. Cipollone wonders why impeach now, why not wait for the election to remove a president from office. “It’s a partisan impeachment. ... They want to remove President Trump from the ballot.' Schiff is done; Sekulow is speaking now 2:17 p.m. ET Jan. 21, 2020: Schiff takes nearly his entire allotted time to argue against McConnell’s motion. Jay Sekulow, Trump’s attorney, is now answering Schiff’s arguments. Cipollone took three minutes when he spoke, which leaves Sekulow 57 minutes to respond to Schiff’s arguments. Sekulow says that when Robert Mueller’s investigation “didn’t pan out, it became Ukraine.” Sekulow turns to the question of executive privilege which Democrats point to as a part of the obstruction of Congress article of impeachment. He points out that Schiff, Rep. Jerry Nadler and Speaker Nancy Pelosi were on the other side of executive privilege question when it concerned President Barack Obama and then-Attorney General Eric Holder. He asks why the House held the articles of impeachment for 33 days -- to try to set the rules in the Senate, Sekulow says. A second change to the resolution 1:50 p.m. ET Jan. 21, 2020: Another change in the resolution released Monday is that the House’s records from its impeachment hearings will automatically be entered into evidence unless there’s an objection.

He says the most important decision senators will make will come today when they vote to have witnesses or not. He goes on to charge senators with making this trial “like every other trial” by allowing documents and witnesses to be introduced. He has twice said that Trump was trying to cheat in the next election and that he is withholding information that would “cover up his misdeeds.” He reminds Republican senators who have promised McConnell to support his resolution that they have sworn an oath “that supersedes all else.” Schiff says most Americans don’t believe that the trail will be fair. The president is not innocent, he says. Apparently, there is a change in the timing of the trial The trial reconvenes 1:18 p.m. ET Jan. 21, 2020: Chief Justice John Roberts enters the Senate chamber, swears in a senator who was not present last week when all the other senators were sworn in begins the trial in earnest.

Jim Jordan, Ohio; John Ratcliffe, Texas; Mike Johnson, Louisiana; Mark Meadows, North Carolina; Debbie Lesko, Arizona; Lee Zeldin, New York; Elise Stefanik, New York and Doug Collins, Georgia. The White House in a statement said the group has “provided guidance to the White House team, which was prohibited from participating in the proceedings concocted by Democrats in the House of Representatives.'

Quarterback Eli Manning, who led the New York Giants to a pair of Super Bowl victories during his 16-season career in the NFL, will announce his retirement Friday, the team said in a statement Wednesday. Manning, 39, saw limited action during the 2019 season, appearing in only four games. “One of the best, most popular and most decorated players in Giants history, Manning, a two-time Super Bowl winner and most valuable player, will announce his retirement Friday, ending a 16-year career spent entirely with the team he joined in a draft-day trade in 2004,” the Giants said in a statement. Manning, the youngest member of his family’s quarterback dynasty, is the brother of Peyton Manning and the son of longtime signal-caller Archie Manning. Like his father, Eli Manning starred at Ole Miss during his college career. Eli Manning led the Giants to one of the biggest Super Bowl upsets in NFL history, throwing a late pass that David Tyree caught on his helmet as he fell backward to preserve a game-winning drive. Manning and the Giants went on to defeat the unbeaten New England Patriots, who were trying to join the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the NFL’s only unbeaten, untied team. Manning and the Giants would defeat the Patriots again in the Super Bowl four years later. Manning played 248 games -- including the postseason -- all with the Giants. He owns the franchise record for completions, passing yards, passing touchdowns and longest completed pass, WPIX reported. He also owns the NFL record for most passing yards in a single postseason and the most fourth-quarter touchdown passes in a season, the television station reported. During the regular season, Manning passed for 57,023 yards and 366 touchdowns. He had an 8-4 record inthe playoffs and passed for 2,815 yards and 18 touchdowns. Manning was the No. 1 draft pick of the San Diego Chargers and the overall top pick in the 2004 NFL draft, but was traded to the Giants for the Chargers’ top pick, Philip Rivers of North Carolina State.
