They resigned because President Trump wanted a political defense and they just wanted a quick acquittal.....

An acquittal was guaranteed thanks to Senator Paul......

Dems can’t risk a Senate trial on national TV where Trump’s team will expose the fraudulent election chapter and verse in exquisite detail, name names, and connect the dots. The American people’s reaction to the Swamp’s revenge on Trump would result in tar and feathers if not outright firing squads.
Consequently, once Trump calls their bluff, Dems, commies, grifters, MSM liars and turncoats will suddenly vamoose overnight to non-extradition nations. Trust Trump, he knows what he’s doing.

Harris is an unnatural born citizen of parents of differing foreign jurisdictions who were subject thereto evidenced by their passports to visit here. Therefore she cannot serve as President or Vice President. Therefore the election results are a fraud.”

What makes Trump think the Senate will allow it?
+++++
My concern from Day 1. The Dems only need one GOP defector (are you listening Mitt) to deny Trump the right to admit any witnesses or evidence of fraud.

The knives are out for Congresswoman Greene......

Neither side can control her and she seems hell-bent to expose every misstep by either side......

No, she’s not an anti-semite.....

“Trump’s impeachment defense lawyers resigned because they thought his defense strategy was ridiculous.”

__________________________________________________

First: President Trump doesn’t need a defense, the impeachment is unconstitutional.

Second: Where do his defense attorneys, themselves, state your statement? All I see is lying CNN and other Leftists said...

They didn’t resign because they think his strategy is ridiculous - they resigned because they were Lindsey Graham’s RINO plants - who want President Trump to to shut up about the election being stolen.

President Trump is rightfully ignoring their advice - he is going to use the platform to tell the American people the truth about what happened - that’s why they “resigned”.

Since most of the alleged Republicans in the DC Swamp knifed him in the back, turnabout is fair play,=.

His defense team was recommended by Lindsey Graham. If you read the actual Article of Impeachment, you will see that pages 3-4 of the four page document refer to Trump's

false statements asserting that the Presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted by the American people or certified by State or Federal officials.

Trump wants to provide a mountain of evidence that these were not false claims. The GOPe would rather not go there. The courts have been stonewalling the presentation of evidence. Social media will not allow any mention of election fraud. This may be Trump's best venue to educate the American people about the widespread fraud and how it affected the election results. He was correct to remove the first legal team.

Trump’s GOP establishment stooge lawyers quit because he won’t follow China Mitch’s impeachment show trial script. It should come as absolutely no surprise the GOP Senate does not want the subject of the stolen election broached because they certified it. The GOP is desperate to put the stolen election in the rear view mirror and get Trump voters back on the GOP plantation.

Absolutely correct.

The children of foreigners are themselves born foreigners, even if born here.
The founders specified natural born citizen as the purest form of citizenship which would exclude the children of foreigners as they are born with divided citizenship, loyalty and allegiance.

Nobody - even president Trump - could hurt the damned corruptoidal GOP-e more than it had already hurt itself. It is dead as a political
Party. Suicide by lying and enabling the DemoNaziCommie election theft. Dead and stinking. Like a cow turd. We will never give them any more support whatsoever. Not one vote sbd not one more penny

> Trump wanted to have the election fraud exposed, since no one would cover it. He has the goods. <

I really want to believe that. But it it were so, Trump should have called a presidential press conference before the new year. Lay it all out. Show the data. Bring witnesses forward.

And I must emphasize “presidential press conference”. One held at the White House. A speech anywhere else just wouldn’t get the coverage. And tweets, forget about them. Only a small percentage of Americans follow tweets.

As a side note, I am convinced that this election was stolen. Why Trump didn’t use the bully pulpit more is beyond me. But I guess he had his reasons.
