Problem is you could have a first-year law student represent Trump, and he still won't be convicted because many of the Republicans don't have a backbone.

Unless he digs himself a deeper hole.
And who are we talking about?
The turd miner supreme.

Unfortunately, despite the regurgitation of NYT arguments onsite, conviction of a former President is a Constitutional non-starter.
Would it not be sweeter vengeance to skip this and go straight for the felony conviction and prison sentence?
I guess you never know though, given the sad state of our justice system. Clinesmith got off with a slap on the wrist. Not bad for lying on an affidavit related to spying on a private citizen who happened to be a CIA asset.......a guy who got jail time for nothing, lol

I hear now all 5 lawyers from his defense team left. The reason supposedly is that Trump wanted them to argue the election was a fraud, but they declined to do that.
I don't understand why Trump wants to use as a defense the conspiratorial lie he included in the rhetoric to agitate his followers. Not very smart defense, although it really won't matter.

Sorry sherkahn. Should have read your whole post first.

“Sherkahn= communist” has as much validity as “Sherkahn = chosen Savior by The Almighty to rid the world of the unwashed.”
See, just doesn’t click.

But you have to admit... communist is much, much more likely than the latter.

Trump likes to stiff lawyers. Rudy giuliani will never see a dollar for his traveling roadshow and stellar legal representation of the president of the United states. Rudy's going to get exactly what his advocacy is worth.

Wheres John Adams when u need him?

I suspect that the evidence against Trump for impeachment will be overwhelming. Republicans so far have been spineless in hiding behind the it
is unconstitutional mantra. Will some see the light? . I believe some defections but probably not enough.

No maybe Republicans can actually READ the Constitution and actually can understand words spoken by Trump when in the speech he told his followers to march peacefully to the Capitol building. Maxine Waters has spoken more words of incitement than Trump's speech.
Those same Republicans can actually READ the FBI reports and other information clearly showing this riot was planned well before the speech.
But Democrats obviously can't read or think.....but that's right, they also voted for a senile old man who will be blown in the wind by every whack job left wing idiot.

@GBD - Carter Page went to jail? Where? When? If you read the judges' sentencing order the reason he went light on Clinesmith was because he believed that the FISA warrant would have been approved even without the Clinesmith alteration. Don't know why this is an example of a broken judiciary system. A moderate judge makes a decision to go easy on an offender because he didn't think the incident would have changed anything. Seems reasonable to me.
The person most upset by the exodus of Trump's trial attorneys is none other than Chuck Schumer. Chuck's fondest wish is for the trial to be halted so the Supreme Court can rule on the constitutionality, with the result being that the tiral isn't constitutional. Henceforth, Chuck can say: 1) need to reform the Court because Trump has packed the Court with sycophant Conservatives; 2) American people were deprived of a trial which would have shown Trump to be guilty; 3) we must be ever vigilant against a return of Trump (great fund-raising issue).
What is definitely broken is the SEC and security regulation. How the fuck can the SEC allow hedge funds to short 140% of a stock? Yes, the hedge funds got slaughtered but Steve Cohen will still own the Mets and the Melvin guy can retreat to his $50M mansion in Miami Beach. However, some of the investors in the Melvin are retirement funds and foundations and they won't recoup their losses for years.
