Trump never conceded he lost, but his impeachment lawyer did

One of the lawyers heading former President Donald Trump’s defense at his second impeachment trial did what Trump himself has not: conceded Joe Biden won the presidential election. —

In opening remarks Tuesday, lawyer Bruce Castor said: “The American people just spoke, and they just changed administrations.” He added that Americans are “smart enough to pick a new administration if they don’t like the old one, and they just did.”

The comments by Castor, a former county prosecutor in Pennsylvania, were a surprising contrast to Trump’s defiance. The former president repeatedly disputed the results of the election, falsely claiming he won in a “landslide.” And he kept up the baseless claims through the end of his presidency, including during a speech at a rally that preceded the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, which set in motion his trial on a charge of incitement of insurrection.

“We will stop the steal,” he said at the rally. “Today I will lay out just some of the evidence proving that we won this election, and we won it by a landslide. This was not a close election.”

There was no widespread fraud in the election, as has been confirmed by election officials across the country and former Attorney General William Barr. Dozens of legal challenges to the election put forth by Trump and his allies were dismissed.

I wont engage you further. You aren’t intelligent. You know absolutely zero about what actually took place. Educate yourself then maybe we can have an intelligent dialogue but I rather doubt it You sound like just another angry old man sitting behind a keyboard, anonymous. I’ve already given you too much time and you have proven your vast inadequacies. Best of luck to you..

If you have it in you, take a minute for self reflection, and go back and notice that you are the one who has refused to post facts. You are the one refusing to read the transcript of the big Pennsylvania case Rudy bungled. Anyway, hope you stay true to your word and stop engaging with me. Bye!
