Looks like a major disagreement on strategy - Trump apparently wanted his legal team to focus on election fraud, and they wanted to focus instead on legality of trying a FORMER President.

Either way..not good this close to the charade..er..trial.

Sorry. CNN is hardly a credible news source.

Get a couple of first year law students.

He doesn’t need any more firepower than that for this utter foolishness.

America is far more interested in their MIA $1400 checks than impeaching a private citizen.

He shouldn’t send any representatives at all. Say it is an invalid process in which he will not participate. That’s going to be the eventual basis for the not guilty verdict anyway,so why not discredit the “trial” from the start?

Aww. Poor Trump is all alone. What a load of road apples. I wouldn’t read/watch the Communist News Network if you paid me.

> according to people familiar with the case <

Typical CNN “reporting”. Some unnamed guy talks to some other unnamed guy who is then used a source for a CNN story.

I actually think CNN should base their stories on the results from a Magic 8-Ball instead. It would save everyone involved a lot of trouble.

Do not believe a single word written by CNN.

If you already know that nearly half the jurors will not vote to convict you, then it’s not a trial anymore. It’s a political spectacle.

LOL! What attorneys would NOT want to be involved with a show trial of a former president?

He got closer to 80 million votes than biden did. We all know that. I am sure some of those voters are lawyers that would be happy to help him...

I like the idea of using the show trial to speak to the country about election integrity.

BTW Defense teams usually argue both process and substance.

There’s nothing stopping Trump’s team from making multiple points.

I am a lawyer and I would be more than thrilled to represent Trump anytime anywhere. I am sure there are other lawyers around who feel the same—I know some. Politics and dirty tricks are not my area, neither is stealing elections from the people.

That said, I believe that Trump must be hiring Rats and not eloquent conservatives which is what he should do. Lin Wood and Sydney Powell have lost credibility by being to untogether on the election fraud. Guiliani is a mess. But President Donald J. Trump, please find some good CONSERVATIVE thinkers. And hire them.

Trump needs to stay clear of this. To take part in this charade would only give it credence. It’s clearly unconstitutional, and his participation wont change a single vote on one side or the other. He’ll never get the option to argue election interference, and an easy argument can be made on the one side that it is not pertinent to the case at hand.

The table for the defense at this circus should be empty. If, by some strange occurrence he is convicted, he then should proceed through the courts and argue its Constitutionality.

I wouldn’t be bothering to pay lawyers for a defense. I’d send a letter stating this action is utterly unconstitutional & has no legal meaning. Period.

The establishment cannot allow the subject of election fraud to be given an objective public hearing. They know that is the thing that could cause everything to crash. Politicians won’t touch it, the media won’t touch it, and legal professionals know that if they assist Trump, their careers will be ruined.

And of course, no one has read the articles, or done any research. And won't read the articles, and won't do any research. Ever.

This was Linda Graham's pet team straight out of Hooterville SC. These were criminal law attorneys not Constitutional law attorneys. Butch Bowers was Mark Sanford's lawyer. Buh-bye. They all failed the audition.

Of course, the theory of the case will be to assert the bald-faced unconstitutionality of this banana tribunal. Trump just wants to know if these people are congnizant of the real purposes of the trial and if they have the panache to do both -- beat PeloSchumer's banana court like a red-headed stepchild and assert Xiden's puppet-state installation fraud.

And old Gloria Whoreger's MSM screech is backladen with fear that Trump will beat the rap even if he does nothing at all, because Rand has already taken the damn vote!
