you convince people by their emotions, not by logic (true alas). Trump is right. They have no case, but hijacking the show trial to get his point across is free publicity by a MSM that refuses to cover the issue.

You are exactly right.

If I were Trump's attorney, my opening statement would be this:
"I represent President Donald J. Trump. President Trump won the 2020 election in a landslide. He is the President of the United States. I must object that the Chief Justice is not presiding over this trial. According to Article I, Sec. 3, paragraph 6 the Chief Justice of the United States must preside. Why is the Chief Justice not present today?"

I'd bait Leahy to try to shut down this argument. I would argue that the events on Jan. 6th were the result of a "mostly peaceful" protest against the most blatant election fraud in U.S. history. I would further note that because of that rampant fraud, several Senators weren't elected legitimately because of vote flipping or rigged primaries to ensure the most radical candidate was nominiated to oppose a sitting senator. This is all political, so I'd through politcal bombs at the senate.

Also note, the problem with the argument that Trump isn't president, is that there are still cases in the courts and SCOTUS arguing that he is. That argument can be made in briefs just to CYA, but the Senate already voted on the issue and there aren't 67 Senators to convict. The attorney has a free pass to grandstand and deliver political attacks on the opposition. It shouldn't be wasted. Trump's lawyers must make the argument for the ages to remember.

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.
