I think the lawyers just want to get the trial over with if Trump starts bringing up voter irregularities which in my mind he should it probably makes some wishy washy GOP senators more likely to vote to convict since he won’t accept “the will of the people” since he’s probably been told that there’s more then 10 GOP senators that would voter to “convict” like people who are retiring like Rob Portman
Bingo! You said it very clearly.
For whatever reason it seems Trump always caves in the end to the Deep State. Firing Mueller, impeachment 1.0, declassification, pardons, impeachment 2.0, etc. It just makes him look weak in the end. I suppose he is without his own party supporting him.
Steve bannon remarked today that “45 GOP senators already voted that the impeachment was not constitutional. What are they going to do go back on what they already voted on the constitutionality and say oh but now it is?’ I don’t think that will happen.
