So Trump doesn't even need a defense.
All they need is a simple majority to censure, which is what they're going for now apparently.

And they've got that.

At least some attorneys have a conscience
Guess he will be back to using Degenova and Tensing the Fox shills

Yes. Anyone would jump at the chance! haha

Attorneys routinely drop clients who refuse to "cooperate" with their defense counsel, and that's certainly what Trump is doing.

Proving the axiom "there's no such thing as bad publicity" false.

These lawyers tucked tail and ran when they realized how stupid they were about to be made to look. And who knows, maybe up for disbarment like the last lawyers he had. Nope. Not today, Trump.

Keep telling yourself that. Trump whipped these idiots into a frenzy peddling all the election fraud and Dominion voting machines lies. He is culpable in all of this. If he had just accepted that he lost fair and square which he did. None of this would have happened.

Its going to be very interesting if Trump finds some lawyers willing to push his election fraud insanity is how this will play out in the senate trial. Instead of just being court filings behind closed doors the past couple months all of America will have the chance to see it in the senate. I think it will be a huge disaster for GOP senators and for Trump. If election fraud is on trial and not what happened at the capital Trump could get convicted.

That would have required dignity, grace, and humanity. Those are not traits that he will ever possess.

It's a real shame Marjorie Taylor Greene isn't an attorney. She'd leap at the opportunity to defend Trump and the result would be the ultimate legal circus, literally. I'd almost pay to see that ****show.

Thank God he's been banned on Twitter.

So now that the serious lawyers have fled the lunacy....who is going to represent Trump at his Impeachment Trial.
Can't blame them. They don't want to be disbarred or sanctioned. Smart move.

Where is DiGenova and Sydney Powell, I thought these were top lawyers. Maybe Cruz or Hawley can defend him since they seem to believe the election was rigged.
