‘NO BRAINER’ Trump ‘told to represent HIMSELF at impeachment trial’ in dramatic move after ‘parting ways’ with five top lawyers
The Sun ^ | 1/31/2021 | Laura Gesualdi-Gilmore

"If you're Trump this is rather a no brainer," wrote Twitter user Janet Mullins Grisson, in regards to Trump representing himself.

"With Senate Rs aka the jury on the record that impeaching former president is unconstitutional why spend money on lawyers?"

The news of the legal shakeup online has garnered many similar responses, especially with the impeachment trial set to begin the week of February 8.

Comunist regimes deny their political prisoners representation.

China does that now all the time.

Why show up at all?

Just summarize all of the stolen election evidence into a 90 minute video and let the Senate AV guy run the tape.

They’re saying they can prevent him from ever holding office again by a simple majority. What’s missing? He has to be convicted first.

He who represents himself, has a fool for a lawyer.

Not a good idea. With the level of TDS that will be in that room, his presence will only piss them off more than they already are.

Get Turley and Dershowitz, two Democrats. At least Dersh has offered to represent him.

Meh, President Trump refused to sign on to the limited defense.

So he’s replacing lawyers on the team who don’t want to see election fraud brought into the defense arguments.

Personally, the case is lost for the DemonRats already, so I have no qualms in having lawyers point to the election theft in their presentations.

The more the better.

I don’t think Pres. Trump should represent himself, OR have attorneys represent him.
Don’t lend them any credibility.

He is not the President any longer and is not answerable to the Senate.

Just make a mockery of everything, and have a blast doing it.

The Reimpeachment Trial is NOT the place to hash out the election irregularities. If Trump plays it that way, he’s really Stupid!

Show up in District of Corruption and they’ll find a reason to arrest you.
