Trump's Legal Team Bails Before Senate Trial



With his Senate impeachment trial set to begin on February 9, the 5-member legal defense team of twice impeached loser and sociopathic seditionist Donald "Mango Mussolini" Trump has withdrawn, citing differences over his "legal strategy." Per CNN:

"A person familiar with the departures told CNN that Trump wanted the attorneys to argue there was mass election fraud and that the election was stolen from him rather than focus on the legality of convicting a president after he's left office. Trump was not receptive to the discussions about how they should proceed in that regard."  (our emphasis)

With Trump insisting on promulgating his "Big Lie" of a stolen election that has resulted in death, rioting, and chaos, his attorneys obviously wanted no part in representing him. As with the buffoonish Elite Strike Force Power Rangers legal team led by loon Rudy "Toot Toot" Giuliani that lost his election appeals cases in courts across the nation, Trump's options for competent legal representation are nil given his mendacious clinging to the "Big Lie." 

Any attorney representing Trump has a fool for a client, so why not let Trump represent himself?

Like he did with his staff and appointees, Trump believes that he knows best and when his team of lawyers heard what he wants to do, they wisely ran away as fast as they could. He wants to ignore the insurrection he fed and focus on the illegitimacy of the election again. And it feels like he'll either take the stand himself or possibly use the only stooge who would do it: Rudy.

The hard reality is: Anyone can stand up for him in the impeachment conviction trial because the Republican Senators will all vote
no.

donnah - The verdict is inevitable from the Rethuglican Senate. The disgraced, delusional Rudy defending him before the Senate would put an absurd, vile capstone to the farce.
