What a desperate plea for help. While they claim Twice Impeached Trump can't be tried in the Senate because he can't be removed from office, they somehow are unfamiliar with the Constitution which clearly states the Senate has the power to try "ALL" impeachments. Not excluding the one they find inconvenient. They also repeat over and over there can be no trial since he can't be removed from office -- but there can be a trial because that's only one of the possible punishments. Another potential punishment is he becomes ineligible to hold federal public office again. And possibility is they don't punish him at all. So that excuse doesn't hold water. Not to mention there's precedence of the Senate holding a trial for someone who resigned from office after being impeached but before his trial.Article II, section 4 provides that officers impeached and convicted “shall be removed from office”; Article I, section 3, clause 7 provides further that “judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States.”
Article 1 of the Trumped-Up defense document starts only with Article II, Section 4--Removal from Office. Like everyone Trumped-Up: It ignores the people, and so the language of what the People of The United States can do lawfully! See the language of US Constitution Article 1. The Senate has the stipulated right of trial, removal, and disqualification--with basis in the office-holding--at the moment(s) of "Cause" of the Impeachment Article.

The hoax being used to blind trial jurors--the Senate--is that what is averred is not the Article of Impeachment, lawfully brought, but a disconnect of the language of US Constitution Article 1 as having any bearing on the lawful impeachment: Shown in Constitutional Article One(?).
Since the defense claims Constitutional Article One is not in the language of the Constitution--the document: Then it concludes that the Trumped-Up defendant was never the office-holder--but effectively at the time, even of office-holding: Only A private citizen. With basis in that--never able to be removed: Then now the defendant continues to be said: Merely a private citizen. The Private Citizen is then completely absolved of the term in office. Defendant lawyers then hang themselves more tightly, and the defendant--with a contention that since Article One does not exist, then the disqualification of the private citizen--from further office-holding--is Attainder.
The defense has to come to grips with its own specious, extraterrestrial claims! The tail is essentially: Wagging the dog!
The claims is that what happened in the term of office is not relevant at all to actions: During the term of office(?)!
Aka: Stupid!

This is shoddy legal work but fortunately for Twice Impeached Trump, it won't cost him much since he doesn't pay his bills.
