“emerging Republican approach portrays Giuliani as working in his own interests, not Trump’s; Sondland was a braggart who exaggerated his relationship w/Trump and freelanced; few witnesses directly heard the president call for a quid pro quo” https://t.co/f5nzHDb0rQ— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) November 10, 2019

This is maybe their silliest defense. The whistleblower could be Hunter Biden and it wouldn’t matter. Sworn testimony from Trump officials has corroborated everything the whistleblower wrote. https://t.co/jvTqnM074k— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) November 10, 2019
If all else fails, it's the process, toujours the process!
Because fancy law school graduates are in the Federalists Society we pretend they're serious, but Fox News/Breitbart has melted their brains, too. https://t.co/QVGuHJL9Gy— Nick Beaudrot (@nbeaudrot) November 9, 2019
