Some Huh? wtf moments from Trumps lawyers...
One lawyer said “A leader of Antifa was arrested and already has been released.” Lol, Anybody know who he was referring to?
Trump’s lawyer denied “incitement to resurrection.” Lol, I think we can all agree, Trump did not resurrect anyone.
Showing “evidence” of Democrats and "liberals" using violent language against Trump. But they’re not gonna point out that it wasn’t Democrats or liberals storming the Capitol. Supporters go right under the bus. They’ve served their use. Now, like used toilet paper, they are to be disposed of. All those people were lied to and duped, and only at the end will they realize it. And most not even then. OMG Democrats used the word “fight” too! Because some people have objected, sometimes with threats of violence, to things Trump and his supporters have said and done, then it was perfectly OK for Trump to whip a mob into a frenzy to ransack the Capitol and kill anyone in congress who wouldn’t vote to make Trump king. Not only that, but we got treated to the parts of the SAME video just a few minutes later. Given that Trump is unlikely to actually pay his attorneys, he sure is getting what he paid for. They’re fully aware of his reputation for not paying bills, and figure that since he’s probably going to be acquitted anyway, why bother putting forth anything beyond the minimum effort. Since Trump will be acquitted, the lawyers can claim that they “won” the case, thus gaining future business.
A question from Graham: Does a politician raising bail for rioters encourage more rioting? ... Huh?. One word answer. “YES!”.
Collins asked Trump’s lawyers for a detailed timeline of steps he took to end the rioting. They said since the Dems rushed the impeachment, there was no time to investigate what he did to put together a timeline.... *facepalm*
Another lawyers stellar argument. “Hey, this is about incitement - not what happened after the incitement!” ... lol
A Trump lawyer called this a partisan impeachment. Ok ...I can only hope that someone suggests to imagine Biden, no, Hillary or Obama holding the same rally with the same results and picture acquitting them. If a deepfake video of Hillary or Obama riling up the crowd were shown to the ‘jury’ I’m sure there we be a visceral reaction. If there is a different answer about how they would vote based on that difference, then YOU are partisan, not impartial. What was the oath sworn at the start of the trial? "I solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be,) that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of , now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: so help me God.". Yeah ... My ass.
These defense lawyers are getting way more personal than the managers. The house managers were very careful not to name anyone or even “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” anyone. I wish they would have played clips from 2016 of Cruz, Rubio, and Graham trashing Trump and warning what a disaster he would be as president. “Some of you tried to warn us that it would someday come to this.”
Hawley’s question is basically trying to open the door to prevent a sitting Democratic president from running again, even if not convicted. What a dick
So ... The defense basically is: - He can say anything he wants, the house managers are big, lying, poopyheads.
