Why did Trump’s lawyers wait for the Articles of Impeachment to cry constitutional foul? Hell, the investigation from the start was unconstitutional violating the 4A’s requirement for reasonable suspicion and probable cause to launch and continue an investigation.

Hell, it’s harder for for a cop to make a traffic stop than for these degenerate Leftist Dems to impeach a President.

The Senate should order a DIRECTED VERDICT (no genuine dispute of a material fact) and be done with it as Trump laughs all the way to a 2020 landslide victory.

To introduce evidence. Trump and company set a trap for the democrats and they walked right into it. Trump isn't in trouble. Biden is and so are a whole lot more. The coup is going down. I'm betting Trump can't wait to testify.

They have standing now as this trial part requires the impeached the right of legal defense. The Dems refused to allow POTUS or his team any role, so they would have just been spitting into the wind. Here, their assertions must be answered.

“Why did Trump’s lawyers wait for the Articles of Impeachment to cry constitutional foul? “

Anything said by the White House prior to this moment has been unofficial commentary. This statement is an official response to the articles of impeachment - their opening statement - and as such it very encouraging.

Significantly, the White House lawyers are completely ignoring the substance (or lack thereof) of the Democrats’ case, and launching a counterattack instead. They accusing the Democrats of abusing the impeachment clause of the Constitution in an attempt to overturn the 2016 election and influence the 2020 one.

By characterizing the impeachment in this way, they are formally linking impeachment with the ongoing coup attempt against this President, and signaling that EVERYTHING is on the table for discussion.

1. Never expose your offense until the last moment

2. Nancy did harm to the Democratic Party with her attempt to satisfied the base. The Libs whipped up their base to a removal, how did she think it was not going to start? President Trump has used the Libs actions against them beautifully, most best political maneuver ever......The President’s base is fired up going into the election. This has either been the stupidest or most desperate move by Nancy ever! Of course she has to protect the corruption and Deep State, but I repeat myself.

It's optics, the RATs outdid themselves in treachery and treason and America got to see how they conduct business for "the people".

Never … murder a man who is committing suicide.
