... for that killer defense of the indefensible:
“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
We’re a couple weeks away from the White House dismissing the president as “someone who just got coffee during the campaign.” https://t.co/6flSDlZEaX— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) November 10, 2019
New Republican talking point “criming isn’t criming if you say it out loud.” https://t.co/eRYJ5kKmXk— Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast) November 10, 2019
In which we go from “Everybody does it” to “Crooked President always does it” for a defense.— Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) November 10, 2019

Wasn’t this dumb argument disposed of weeks ago? Or is this going to be like a baseball game in which we have to go through a stupid-contention batting order three times before we can call it a night? https://t.co/RSWJxy4wkS— George Conway (@gtconway3d) 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

I've said right from the start that the Republican sycophants will run over each other to deflect any blame or culpability from Trump. They did it with the Stormy Daniels affair, where magically Trump never knew about payoffs or Stormy herself. And everyone was certain that Trump's good buddies like Michael Cohen were lying anyway, because Trump has never lied or committed any crimes.
So he knows that little shits like Lindsey Graham and Jeff Sessions, Gym Jordan and the ever-despicable Mark Meadows will all come to his defense again, turn the impeachment into a damned circus, and we'll all be stuck with Trump for infinity. It sends me into orbit. I am so spitting mad that Lindsey will refuse to see the public testimony after squawking about not being allowed to see it in early closed door sessions. He is spinning this so much he might just twirl himself right into the ground, and I wish he would.
This is sheer nonsense and I am terrified that they are going to get away with it yet again.
donnah -- we know the feeling. There are more of us than there are of them, and eventually (but not soon enough) they'll be gone.
