On a bed of lies and rage, Trump's defense rests

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“If adjectives and adverbs were alibis, former president Donald Trump would be acquitted unanimously.

If hyperbole were exculpatory, he never would have been impeached in the first place.

But, alas, for the former president, his lawyers had little to work with — few facts, scant evidence and unhelpful precedents — to defend Trump against the well-documented case that he conceived, incited and encouraged the deadly insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6. The defense ran out of steam after consuming just 2 hours and 40 minutes of their allotted 16 hours.

Yet, even in that brief period, they misstated legal precedents. They invented facts. They rewrote history. Trump lawyer Bruce Castor, panned for his rambling opening argument Wednesday, closed the argument Friday by confusing Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

But Michael van der Veen, the personal-injury lawyer Trump hired as part of his defense team for the Senate impeachment trial, did have one thing in abundance: words. The best words. Towering, hyperbolic words. Leading off Trump’s defense on Friday, he seemed to believe that if he piled up enough of them, the prosecution’s case would collapse under an avalanche of tangled, angry verbiage.”

The New Yorker magazine made an interesting observation about the Trump ‘legal’ team in that it was more about contempt than incompetence – contempt for the facts, contempt for the truth, and contempt for the American people.

Trump conceived an insurrection?? really? You got a fact to prove it? At what point did his plan say Go invade the Capitol building. According to you those people had explicit orders. Lets see the paper it was written on, or lets hear the phone call transcript. And it better be something other than "lets march down peacfully and patriotically to have our voices heard"

You must have been watching a foreign language broadcast. The defense lawyers ate up that gaggle of dumfuk impeachment managers.

You don't care about facts. Even with facts you still think Trump won the election.

You provide no useful facts that backed up the claim.

Where did I say Trump won the election ?

Please provide that post so we can see that fact to back up your claim.

And that somehow proves he incited something ?

Is the French educational system as pathetic as the U.S.'s ?

I have yet to see such a brilliant legal beat down as what Trump's lawyers did to the managers. They tore every single one of their arguments into pieces and made them look like liars, hypocrites, and idiots.

When 45 members of the jury have already voted that the proceeding is an unconstitutional exercise, then you can kiss any hope for a conviction goodbye. That is the fact. That is the truth. That is American law.

They are banning everyone that goes against the agenda. That is called censorship.
