If true, I find it very disappointing and discouraging. There was in your face fraud and nobody is acknowledging it. The fact that Trump is rolling over now is the first time I am directly disappointed in Trump. I don’t see how he could be reelected after this. It appears he has buckled under the pressure.

From the article:

“They also argued that Trump has a First Amendment right to express his views about the accuracy of the election results.”

So, that IS bringing up the election fraud.

Trump allowed the election to be stolen. He had all of the power, and support that he needed to head it off at the pass. To stop it before it happened. Not wait until after it happened.


Trump had all the power? LOL. That’s funny. Maybe the silliest thing I’ve ever red here. Trump had basically no power thanks to the bipartisan coup. Democrats with top cover from the GOP fully controlled all the important bits of the executive branch. DOJ, DOD, etc.

said, "just want to get the trial over"
Agreed. This trial will not change anyone mind. detailed audit of votes will and they're still working on that (Arizona legislator full audit. The other audit done in the same state is a waste of time)

IMHO, I think Trump should just tell them all to go to H-E-double toothpicks, he’s not going to DC for a trial which is clearly a dog and pony show and nothing more. He’s a private citizen now. The HELL with what they want.

The sham impeachment result doesn't matter if the truth of the criminally stolen election is never publicly and officially recorded.

Why is he even giving this one bit of attention? It’s completely unconstitutional, it’s not a criminal trial, it’s a Nancy Pelosi clown show. The only response Trump should give is:

“Nancy Pelosi for the 2nd time in 3 years committed a criminal act when she violated the Stock act of 2012 by trading on insider information this time for Tesla stock. When is Nancy resigning or will she be impeached?”

Considering that the main line of defense is that the whole trial is unconstitutional to begin with, and considering the claims of election fraud have nothing to do with the charge that Trump incited insurrection, then it’s not surprising that they’re dropping it.

So trumps words about the election being stolen were inciting a riot but the veracity of his claims cannot be considered?

I read an opinion that since this Senate Impeachment trial violates Trump's rights as a Private Citizen, he can bring his case to the SCOTUS.

Roberts would refuse to take the case for lack of standing. (sorry, just feeling sarcastic)

......An attorney for former President Donald Trump said he won’t bring up claims about election fraud while defending the former president during the upcoming impeachment trial......“There are plenty of questions about how the election was conducted throughout the country, but that’s for a different forum,.....

GOOD!!!! Destroy the bogus “impeachment trial” because of its gross unconstitutionality! Then present incontrovertible proof the the election was stolen in later forums!

Moreover, nearly ALL of biden’s dictatorial “executive orders” should face lawsuits by aggrieved parties! That begins with the order to shut down the Keystone Pipeline!!!!

Good points !!

Lawyers say:

“The very fact that y’all are impeaching him is saying he’s still President.”

And watch the swamp critters’ heads burst.

If he didn’t really win the election, why are they impeaching him?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That’s right.

And since the Constitution does not allow for the impeachment of a president who left office, the very fact that Trump is being impeached is an admission that Trump is still President.

If I were the Presidents lawyers I would be asking the Senate for an order to tell Biden to clear out of the White House....STAT!

And if the Senate issue an guilty resolution , that means that President Trump is indeed President, one who is impeached , and Mile Pence is the President.

If I was a journalist working for say, Fox News, I would be driving the left mad with this way of thinking. Maybe Greg Gut-felt has the cojones, or maybe Carlson.”

My assumption: McConnell told Trump 'bring up election fraud and we will convict you. Shut up about them and this goes away'.

The GOP is all in on protecting the fraud machine. They are in on it.

They should bring up the the point they mention but also the timing, the antifas and the police inviting in.

I tend to agree, but the charge is supposed to be incitement, isn't it?

That has nothing to do with an election so .... maybe no fraud IS a good idea

I just hate the democrats for muddying our beautiful nation .... and President.

Since it IS a KANGAROO Court and an unconstitutional procedure (Bill of Attainder) there’s no reason at all to think that the actors in control would allow for any defense

I really don’t see any downside to trying.

In fact, I think not trying will be seen as a concession.

The outcome is that he will be found guilty. It is a kangaroo Court. The truth does not matter. The verdict has already been decided. He should get his butt out of the Country. Poland would take him. Hungry would take him. Before the Communists in Power are through with us, we will wish we had fought when we had the chance. On second thought, I take that back. There is no fight left in us. I thought we would fight other than surrender. I was wrong.

Are they flip flopping to keep the Dems off guard? Or to keep us stressing?

The whole purpose for the rally was the stolen election. Otherwise it will just look like the President was on an ego trip to cause trouble.

Impeachment should not even be discussed unless they want to admit he is the REAL president.
