This is good advice, before he was getting bad advice.
“This is good advice, before he was getting bad advice.”
Wrong - this is terrible advice.
This is the last opportunity for President Trump to have a public platform to make the case on behalf of 75-80 million voters that the election was stolen - and they are advising him to shut up about it!
The ONLY reason that would make sense is if there was a risk that bringing up the fraud would piss off enough Senators that he could be convicted, and be prevented from ever holding public office again.
But we know there is zero risk of that happening for two reasons:
1) it is an ironclad case that that would be unconstitutional, and
2) even if it wasn’t ironclad, the Senate already voted 55 to 45 that it is unconstitutional... they are not going to reverse themselves
So he is not getting convicted of anything - and this “trial” is the last chance to make the case for election fraud.
My guess is that they are saying this to put them off guard, but they will make the case for election fraud once in there. I sure hope so
Winning isn’t an issue since the Senate already voted
I think it’s good advice, too. The lawyers need to address the actual charge, and not muddy their argument.
The fraud that many of us believe took place in the last election has nothing to do with what the President is being charged with in this farce of an ‘impeachment’.
Why is this good advice?
“This is good advice, before he was getting bad advice.”
Agree. This is the best news I’ve heard since the question was posed.
