“They didn’t know about the hold” is so self evidently a dumb defense because they know that they haven’t received $400 million and they know who’s supposed to be sending it.

$400 million of military aid isn't something that everyone's going to assume the check's in the mail when there's an active invasion going on. It's the sort of thing the Ukrainian government is going to have multiple people tracking every step of the way.

Imagine if you hired a hit man to kill someone and then your defense is that “I didn’t tell the hit man to commit 1st degree murder, I just told him that I wanted this other guy whacked” See? Total exoneration!

Hell, especially if they caught the hitman because he was too inept to whack the guy.

Not that it really loving matters. Even though every loving GOP senator knows that failing to impeach this moron will establish forever that the president is above the law, and that Trump will take this as an excuse to ignore every rule or constraint on him, I doubt there will be more than 50 votes for removal (if that).

Even though he won’t get removed showing how corrupt he is will at least put a stop to any persuadable person ever buying into “at least he’s draining the swamp.” Yeah there are a lot of chuds who won’t care but making sure he can’t get beyond that base of support (and driving turnout against him) is necessary. It’s not a One Weird Trick to beating Trump, but that’s life.

I’d assume the prosecution goes first with their witnesses but who knows what Calvinball rules they end up passing.

Also I think I mentioned it in the other thread but there’s nothing to stop the 53 Republicans from just subpoenaing Hunter by majority vote so it’s not like Democrats can really trade anything in a meaningful sense here.

So Bolton just implicated Cippollone as a co-conspirator in the Ukraine scheme?

Aren’t lawyers bound by ethics laws that make it illegal for them to lie on behalf of their clients? Or allow their co-counsel to lie on behalf of their client in their defense?

Like, you get disbarred and go to jail for using a defense that you know is a lie because the evidence has been withheld? That’s how this is supposed to work, why are people not freaking out about this?

What is “known” to be a lie is defined very narrowly in this context which is why lawyers say false poo poo all the time.

We are solidly into part 3 now.

We’ll probably never know if it was the straw that broke the camel’s back but lol at Trump being dumb af to vow revenge on Mitt over witnesses before the final vote.

Unfortunately the longer Manchin/Sinema hold out probably the more likely theirs will be stealth acquittal announcements right before the vote.

You are joking but Trump will probably be acquitted in another impeachment in like 2022 or so.

Yeah the problem now is some number of the voting public and more importantly house reps will not want to do another impeachment until Trump does something obviously and significantly worse so there will be a lot of same-level crimes between now and then that will kind of blend together.
