The lawyers are being threatened at a level that is unimaginable. I suspect they told Trump that he was on his own if he wanted to bring up what happened during the election. Trump also has been threatened by Linda and God knows who else in the Senate.
But I do wish Trump would fight on his own terms, and he needs to understand that even if he does get off on Impeachment, he’ll almost certainly be arrested in NY or somewhere on fake charges (although his supporters might not be very happy about it).
That's the reason 500,000 people gathered in DeeCee. It's like trying to say Woodstock wasn't about music but instead it was a physics convention.
