Trump may defend himself at impeachment trial because attorneys are refusing to represent him

The Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump is set to begin in eight days, and it now appears that Trump will be forced to serve as his own attorney because all of his lawyers are refusing to represent him.

I personally would love to see the man stand before the Senate and try to defend the indefensible. He would begin by rehashing the Big Lie that massive voter fraud caused him to lose. Right there...in front of the entire world...he would show what a lying piece of garbage that he is. I would love to see it but...

1. He is not smart enough to defend himself.
2 He is too cowardly to defend himself.
3. His cult within the Senate will talk him out of it...giving him an excuse to spin the two items above.

What do you think?

I'm guessing he refuses to show.

What do you think?

No. No point in giving an iota of legitimacy to a Stalinist show trial.

So you believe everything was fine about January 6th.

I hope they call in Trump as a material witness and then let him explain to us what really happened, at least the way he sees it.
-

He should be a witness. He is the one that started the whole mob attack on the Capitol. He and Giuliani and

He didn't have to in the last one no reason why he would now everyone but the most blind partisans know there will not be a conviction this trial is nothing but partisan political theatre.

The Liar in Chief needs to be held accountable for his part in inciting the riot. This is how it must be done.

You loons keep it up, the bombs they found were placed on January 5th. The riot was pre-planned, all fingers are pointing to the Democrats on this one.

What do you think?

This impeachment is going to be laughed out of the Senate as even more baseless than the first one.

We'll see who laughs last, when senators up for re-election are faced with film of 1/6(It's a thing now along with 9/11 & 12/7) and asked why they supported the guy that encouraged this?

Trump Is In a Historically Strong Position for 2024
To bad pervert biden is in office.

 

[Mac1958]

Unfortunately, no matter how comically bad Trump's defense is, the Republicans will save his skin.

They have to. Their lives would be in danger if they didn't.

The easiest way to win quickly is the constitutional angle his legal team was planning, but he doesn't want to get off on a technicality. It's a bullshit charge and if you know one thing about Trump, it's that he responds directly to bullshit. It's a big reason he got elected. He's not going to look for some process technicality.

No...he wants to reinforce the BIg Lie...which is why the Capitol was attacked and the reason he was Impeached. And Susan Collins said after his first Impeachment...

Maine Sen. Susan Collins (R) on Tuesday defended her newly announced decision to vote to acquit President Trump in his Senate impeachment trial, saying he has learned "a pretty big lesson" over his dealings with Ukraine.

Trump's acquittal on Wednesday looks all but certain, with Collins the latest possible swing vote to say she would come down against the two House-passed articles of impeachment.

"I believe that the president has learned from this case," she told Norah O'Donnell of CBS News. "The president has been impeached. That's a pretty big lesson."

No, you cannot teach an Imbecile and a possibly mentally unstable human being a lesson with a slap on the wrist. He won't stop his insane lies until someone hits him hard in the wallet. Maybe then he will back off. Rudy is first to learn a hard lesson with Dominion Machines....and then maybe the Liar in Chief.

Can you not get Trump out of your head for one second? Be happy, Biden is president. Anyway Trump did not tell anybody to get violent. Democrats are going to look foolish if the try to impeach him.

Where have you been? They already have!

Yup, their own careers are more important than defending the Constitution or the US Capitol.

Maybe he needs that in ALL CAPS? He is the first, so called, president that has been Impeached twice. His political party saves him both times by proving to place their party over their country.

Exactly. Trump would have almost 100% of all the eyeballs watching TV to present his case for "voter fraud" during the impeachment trial..
He just can't let go of "ratings" thing.
A quick legal dismissal of the impeachment on constitutional grounds would be considered a loss by Trump because it would not present "alternate facts" explaining away his loss.

No, besides, we know he colluded with the Ruskies, had golden showers in Moscow and cheats on his tax returns.

It's not our first rodeo fat lady.

You talking about that shameful event. So for now on in the future if the opposing party is in control of congress. They can just impeach a president, way to go!

He didn't have to in the last one no reason why he would now everyone but the most blind partisans know there will not be a conviction this trial is nothing but partisan political theatre.

He's not protected as President anymore. He's a private citizen and if he's subpened then he has no choice even if it's under the guard of a US Marshal.

Not just their carreers. Also the lives of the Families and themselves.

Since Trump did nothing wrong, why not? They are more afraid of Trump now than when he was in office. The only people Trump ever hurt are the people that are back in power. They are desperate and have to stop him from running again.

 

[toobfreak]

and asked why they supported the guy that encouraged this?

That's the thing: TRUMP DID NOT ENCOURAGE THAT. You're a baldfaced LIAR.

Prove me wrong by playing the video where he told the people to storm the capitol, break in and attack people or anything close to that.

DO IT

He's not protected as President anymore. He's a private citizen and if he's subpened then he has no choice even if it's under the guard of a US Marshal.

Congress does not have the power to investigate, try, and punish a private citizen; and Congress is only empowered to subpoena private citizens for testimony relating to legislation, not as part of any kind of investigation against them.

We have Democrats making it up as they go along. They need to challenged on procedure at every turn.

What do you think?

How about the Canadian Ted Cruz defending Trump? Teddy wanted to argue Texas' case against the states before the SCOTUS; why not argue Trump's case before the Senate? Of course he should resign first since he would also sit in judgement. Or, perhaps Trump isn't important enough for him.
