WPXI ^ | February 13, 2021

WASHINGTON — The lead lawyer for former President Donald Trump’s defense during the impeachment trial mistakenly referred to the Georgia Secretary of State as Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

When referencing Trump’s phone call to Brad Raffensperger, former Montgomery County district attorney Bruce Castor instead said Roethlisberger’s name in front of the U.S. Senate Friday afternoon, according to our partners at TribLive.com.

If that’s the biggest problem people can find with the Trump defense team and their presentation of his defense, then it highlights how good the defense was.

Oh big deal.

I’m told he also had a cough drop and said it was Shmidt Brothers. According to sources.

“ Uh, oh!

Does that mean that Trump must be found guilty?!?”

That’s what I was thinking. Alter the future over this. Trump’s lawywers did not entertain, convince, come out as stars. They didn’t do a Michigan T Frog kickline dance ending up finally with joe Scarborough, the cuomo twins not even Laura Ingraham convinced they need to broadcast Trump is right.

And now this.

The only thing I heard out of the circus yesterday was ...nothing. Just this.

If I were Trump I would know the media would never cave. Why would I send in dazzling lawyers? The election has already been won. There’s no campaigning going on. I’d send in guys to tell the facts impeccably. In 1/4 of the allotted time. Sideswiping chances for counterattacks. Id get out of there. And if my lawyers look silly doing it what’s the harm? The case has already been concluded going in. I’m not going to lose

Fizzle

Deflect! Ignore evidence and report about a simple mistaken identity.

So apologize to Ben Roethlisberger for the insult and move on.

Of course by Dem-peachment “standards” a typo or mixing up a name = an armed uprising to overthrow the government.

No but it’s dumb. Why do republicans always have these kind of mistakes?

It's the kind of mistake that 3rd grade kids use to counter a completely sensible argument.

Those kids who concentrate on meaningless mistakes, are the kind that should never be allowed to vote, and the kind that should never be listened. The Trump lawyer mistake is not the kind of mistake that changes anything, much less be fodder for any kind of discussion.

The legal eagle didn’t misidentify.

The lawyer misspoke.

“””Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. When referencing Trump’s phone call to Brad Raffensperger, former Montgomery County district attorney Bruce Castor”””


I can see how a person from PA could easily make this mistake.

This news report indicates how badly the Democrats and the Media have lost the impeachment war.

It is a good sign when the media has to work this hard to come up with anything that Trump’s lawyers said that the media can say was wrong.
