David Schoen and Bruce L. Castor, Jr. will head the legal team for the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, his office announced Sunday, a day after CNN first reported that five known members of his impeachment defense team had left.
One point of friction with his previous team was Trump wanted the attorneys to focus on his election fraud claims rather than the constitutionality of convicting a former president.
Trump has struggled to find lawyers willing to take his case as he refuses to budge from his claims of election fraud which has been a serious sticking point.

They can be cancelled now by the ‘Rats or later by MAGA.
Choices, choices...
Spot on Doctor. I totally agree with your remarks. See my post 31.
I’m not exactly sold on my idea, but I do believe the best approach to this impeachment scam Is for Donald Trump to presume before Congress that he is in fact and in deed the legitimate President of the United States of America.
And based on this conclusion, his attorneys will bring to light all proofs and evidences of election fraud, and subsequently prove that Donald Trump was not guilty of incitement on January 6.
However, it must be understood that the Senate will not listen to any of these arguments. They don’t have to. They will hold a vote at their convenience and confirm the impeachment brought by the House and they will formally remove the president.
I like to give a Thanks or compliment when due. I am really impressed by your thinking on topic. Your POV explains much: from Pelosi wanting the nuclear codes, to the NG still guarding the Capitol when there is no threat, to Bill Maher’s continued obsession now that “Jaws” Trump is silent, and POTATUS Biden signing every far left EO put in front of him.
(Thanks also to whoever came up with POTATUS, love it.)
I cannot see any possible outcome where President Trump wins.
The only saving grace for me would be for Congress to reluctantly admit that President Trump is in fact the legitimate President of the United States. And even if they impeached and removed him as president, that would be a I could live with.
But as you say they need CJ Roberts to complete the bastardization of this process. And while Roberts is a lowlife, he is not about to lower himself even further. He ain’t coming.
President Trump understands employees do what they are told, like it or not.
Speaking of evidence of possible election fraud shenanigans(?):
Redpill78 had whistlevlower Ryan Hartwhig on his show.
He told about a plane that was in Arizona at election time. It possibly had ballots on it? And it had other strange details.
The story starts at 13:48 mark.
There is a deliberate attack on Trump’s right to legal representation. The threats to disbar Rudy Guiliani and Lin Wood for fighting vote fraud. The naming and shaming and threats of other attorneys on his vote fraud cases by the Lincoln Project.
Liberals would recognize this as a civil rights violation if conservatives were creating lists of ACLU death row attorneys to harass into quitting.
What a complete joke this is.
It was fraud.
With almost all the election result suits claiming fraud were lost in court, how come so many of the judges that allowed this to happen were Trump appointees?
To be honest, I don’t think Trump was served well by his attorneys.
If half of what we were hearing was true, and some of it almost had to be, there should have been some solid cases.
Governors and election commissions cannot change election rules.
Nobody can refute that.
The Legislature is the only body that has that authority..
Why didn’t that fly? It baffles me the way the courts handed this election to Biden.
That would be too easy. Perhaps he wants to be a martyr, and actually get convicted, but portray at last the voluminous evidence of fraud already presented in six state legislatures, and ignored by the media. After he’s convicted, he can appeal to SCOTUS on the grounds that the trial was unconstitutional, and force them to actually take a stand and rule directly on the merits. Whether or not he gets to hold the office of POTUS in 2025 would then be a moot point. They probably will kill him anyway. He will have forced truth on the deep state, in the bright lights of television cameras, starkly and without spin. They cannot be allowed to steal the next election.
He could just refuse to participate in the unconstitutional process just like Roberts did
Simple enough. Law, shmaw. They wanted the bull out of the china shop. He’s out.
I’m so happy he is not going to try and represent himself. Hopefully his choices were wise.
