‘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.

“Just like Roberts, he should be a no show.”

Exactly and for 10 or more different reasons.

Issue a 1-line written non-response response.

Rudy is a drunk, and an old man.

lol...how can a Senate vote stop him from running again? It's not a law. It's completely against the constitution. It's a meaningless gesture.

I mean not that they wouldn't cheat even worse next time out...

The thugs who have stolen America couldn’t possibly let Trump speak openly. If he let go both barrels they couldn’t actually, categorically refute anything he charged. Bidens election is impossible on the face of it.

Liberals are attacking the right to legal representation by threatening attorneys. The Lincoln Project harassed individual attorneys and law firms. Democrats in power are threatening attorneys by threatening to revoke their law license if they defend Trump.

Why 72 cases would not allow him to submit evidence of irregularities when exactly should show this evidence?

“They’re saying they can prevent him from ever holding office again by a simple majority.”

They can say anything, but since there is not a hint of any such action in the Constitution, much less on a simple majority vote, they really can’t go beyond talk.

If that were the case, the Senate, under control of a rival party, could stop any competitor from seeking the presidency.

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

He'll be convicted if he does that.

Robert's children are still minors.

Do you have a source for that?

My common sense advice to Trump:
1) Monday at 8am, file emergency petition to US Supreme Court, seeking a determination on whether it is Constitutional for Congress to prosecute a President who is not in office.
2) As a contingency, request an injunction halting the shampeachment until such time as SCOTUS rules on this essential question.
3) Sit back, relax, and let reality take it’s course.

This proceeding has NO validity and everybody knows it, with the exception of Nancy Pelosi, who lost her mind in San Francisco.

Who are they and when did they say that?

Yes, who cares. The only punishment is removal. That’s why it’s a nonsense trial. He’s already gone.

If Trump shows up, it’ll be to lay waste.

Think Harper Valley PTA.

Evidence classification is done by the party in charge
The gaslighting has been successful thus far

Impeachment. According to the Constitution, the House may impeach a sitting President or Justice. The Senate may be jury of an impeachment.

Therefore the House and Senate recognize Donald Trump as either a sitting President or sitting judge. Which is it?
