"It couldn't have happened because of the timeline" ... Doesn't show any evidence to contradict the timeline.

My client couldn't have planned a coup because he's such good friends with the state security services is also a hell of a take.

At least the defense lawyers know this is all bullshit, the verdict is predetermined, and they’re phoning it in

this argument about him "fool me once, shame on me, etc". Doesn't really hold up well for these guys since they're lying about things.

I mean, Mitch McConnell is a given, but these two specifically seem to do the most of amount of stupid acts that would and should get anyone fired from a job. Hating Mitch McConnell is like hating entropy, or death: you can do it as hard as you want but it never made any difference to it.

Honestly, if they didn't have the majority of republicans in their pocket. He would be convicted. These are the worst lawyers.

Uh, I am not a lawyer but I am very interested to hear an actual lawyer's take on this. On a scale of 1 to Incredibly Stupid, how dumb is it that a lawyer representing Trump is doubling down on the Georgia fraud arguments while there's still a pending investigation and potential litigation?

Deteriorata posted:Requiring a bad actor to break a law before they can be removed from office seems like a really huge loophole that will be ripe for abuse. I mean correct me if I'm wrong, right now with a 2/3rds majority vote they can kick anyone out for literally any reason, legal or not. A good argument can be made that one would usually have to at least break some law before you could convince 2/3rds of the Senate to kick anyone out, but that's not so much an issue of functionality as it is of practicality. For anyone not in power this is a bad system, it should be proven that a person broke a law before they receive any kind of punishment. I believe those in power should be held to a higher standard, and thus higher consequence. I think a 2/3rds kick-out vote is good to keep in, but would add that political leaders at any and all levels should be subject to the same laws and process everyone else is. So when Ted Cruz met with Trump's defense today, the defense should be charged with tampering with the jury, and Cruz charged with contempt of court. The only tweak to fix the issues and maybe get these idiots out would be to reduce the vote-out to a simple majority. But other than that, if they don't break a law (they of course have broken laws) we can't punish them, or else we are being the partisan hacks that they projection accuse us to be.
