It seems to me that President Trump never listens to his lawyers. Whether he is right about pursuing the illegalities of the election, or whether he should listen to his attorneys and fight this impeachment on the basis that it’s unconstitutional is a coin toss to me.

But based on Trump’s histories with attorneys; I’d say he is wrong here.

Yeah, if I were Trump I’d refuse to appear. John Roberts gave him an out. Trump should say: “The process is unconstitutional. I am an ex president. The Supreme Court Chif justice agrees. Go diddle yourself in the closet and leave me alone.”

These are Lindsay Graham linked establishment stooge lawyers who are playing for Team GOP and Trump is refusing to follow the GOPe script. So they served thier client poorly and quit. This one isn’t complicated. The GOP wants to bury their role in the bipartisan election steal and Trump isn’t going along with China Mitch’s impeachment show trial game plan.

Nope, President Trump is 100% right.

There is no conviction possible. The People almost lynched the GOPe and the Senate knows it.

President Trump has excellent political instincts. The DemonKKKrats will rue the day.

If you think it went badly for them with the last sham impeachment, you ain’t seen anything yet.

It completely depends on the desired outcome. I think the previous lawyers were looking at this as a legal case and trying to assure he wasn't convicted.

Trump couldn't care less about the legal case. This is all about narrative, PR and positioning in the eyes of his base.

I can see why the other lawyers didn't want to play.

The 'reports' are just hearsay by unnamed sources, which is how the MSM operates. You and I don't know what the reasons are for the change in the legal team, but the MSM's modus operandi it to paint Trump as incompetent, possibly mentally unstable, and in this case he is acting like Commander Queeg being obsessed over strawberries, Trump is obsessed over a stolen election.

Don't buy into the hype.

The only one to bear the consequences if he is wrong is Trump.

Trump listens to all experts in their respective areas...Then as a good CEO would do, weighs the advice against all issues and decides what’s best.....

His attorneys have a very narrow focus, there are larger considerations than the impeachment trial, he’s already won that even if he didn’t present a defense.....

He’s looking at elections 2022, 2024, his legacy, and all the people that supported him...

Plus, the guy never never never backs down from a fight......

President Trump understands employees do what they are told, like it or not.

There is a deliberate attack on Trump’s right to legal representation. The threats to disbar Rudy Guiliani and Lin Wood for fighting vote fraud. The naming and shaming and threats of other attorneys on his vote fraud cases by the Lincoln Project.

Liberals would recognize this as a civil rights violation if conservatives were creating lists of ACLU death row attorneys to harass into quitting.

I think Trump sees this as the last chance to expose the cheating. I applaud him for trying. Roberts made it easy for him to just declare it the farce that it is but he knows if the cheating stands honest elections are finished As usual Trump is alone.
