Former President Trump’s legal team imploded over the weekend as five attorneys left the team just days before his Senate trial is set to begin. Trump has already announced two new lawyers who will lead his defense.
Multiple outlets reported the abrupt change occurred following the former president’s plan to focus on election fraud rather than arguing whether impeaching a president after leaving office is Constitutional. The Senate voted 55-45 on the Constitutionality of the trial last week, with five Republicans joining Democrats.
However, Trump spokesman Jason Miller has reported the division over focusing on election fraud was fake news, though no other explanation has yet been provided by Donald Trump or his former attorneys. The two new attorneys leading the Trump legal team include David Schoen and Bruce Castor, Jr.
Castor noted, “I consider it a privilege to represent the 45th President. The strength of our Constitution is about to be tested like never before in our history. It is strong and resilient. A document written for the ages, and it will triumph over partisanship yet again, and always.”
Senate Democrats are expected to focus on highly emotional arguments to plead their case and accuse the former president of incitement of insurrection for his alleged role in the January 6 U.S. Capitol riot. Their strategy will cite connections between Trump’s verbal attacks about election fraud alongside the actions of those who entered the U.S. Capitol, vandalized property, and left at least one protester and one police officer dead.
So will former President Trump and his legal team really focus on election fraud before the Senate? The idea is interesting, as it would allow the former president to finally present his evidence after no court would hear his case prior to the inauguration of Joe Biden.
However, the moment has seemingly passed for arguments regarding election fraud to make any significant impact. Instead, former President Trump appears to have a strong case to argue the Senate trial is unconstitutional. Unfortunately, facts don’t seem to matter to most in the Senate.
The good news for Donald Trump is that impeachment can only take place with a two-thirds supermajority Senate vote. Unless something major changes, the vote will likely be the same at the numbers supporting the trial—55-45, enough to make Trump look bad, but not enough for impeachment.
The reality is Democrats already know this. Their goal is not impeachment, but embarrassment. The more they can vilify the former Republican president—and his supporters—now, the more likely they are to secure more votes in future elections. It’s about re-election, plain and simple.
But will President Biden really run again in 2024? Maybe. But at 82 years old, we will more likely see Vice President Kamala Harris as the name on the Democrat ticket.
I’m ashamed for anyone to know I’ve been associated with the Republican party!!
They have turned their backs on president Trump and left him out to dry. They will get what’s coming to them. Thae they can be sure of, they can fool me but they can’t fool the one above!! And he is taking names. I sure wouldn’t like being in those shoes!!
DOT>
Yes they will an that day is upon us. Nicely sed DOT.
The whole democratic party should be considered domestic terrorists.
THE REPUBLICANS AND PARENTS OF CHILDREN AND DESENT TRADITIONAL PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN GODLY VALUES DO NOT DEMONSTRATE ANY ANGER, AND SIMPLY WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO STOP THE MADNESS. THE DEVIL IS HARD AT WORK TO DESTROY THIS NATION AND WE NEED TO PROTEST AND STAND UP STRONGLY FOR GOD AND COUNTRY. OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING INDOCTRINATED IN THE SCHOOLS INTO ALL THIS RACIAL AND EQUITY BULLCRAP, AND PEOPLE NEED TO STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, I SAY GIVE BACK WHAT THEY GAVE OUR PRESIDENT 10X FOLD.
Just like the spineless Traitor Romney I hope that they will pay the price In the next election, although only those candidates spouting the Liberal socialist position will be elected since anyone not backing those views will be blackballed by the media, probably even by Fox News. CONTROL THE PRESS AND YOU CONTROL THE PEOPLE! Look at any dictatorship and you will see the truth of that.
Include all the traitorous rinos in that terrorist list. They are no better or worse than the demoTRASH party. I’m all for a firing squad.
Amen
The way the country is headed at the moment bodes nothing but sadness and a let down to the nation … do we have a recourse???? We do, we must turn our eyes to God instead of the government!!! God is still on His throne and for every injustice to His people He WILL mete out JUSTICE…. it’s coming!!
How can God intervene when this nation of ours allows murder by planned parenthood ?????
GOD is in control and we must put our faith in HIM alone. As you said they will be held accountable.
The Democrats will only scuttle their own 5 masted Galleon on the rocky reefs of ” The American Constitution “; pursuing this show trial obscenity purely for political point scoring & an outrageous vain hope of securing more votes in 2022 & 2024.
With what the Usurpers have been doing since they
” stole ” the White House, and shown their entire poker hand is a complete bluff. This has only convinced & angered more American citizens, ” of all persuasions ” that they were duped from the start, & there indeed will be a reckoning! Why else did the Chief Usurper stay holed up in his basement for almost the entirety of his faux campaign.
But all corrupt Democrats & Rinos will give an accounting for their horrendous actions, & no sound will utter from their mouths when the indictments are read out, & severe penalties swiftly implemented.
Before any indictments or punishment is handed out, we have to find NON-corrupt doj,fbi,politicians, judges (including the NOT-SO-supreme court), and law enforcement to issue the indictments and carry out the punishment. At present — EVERY & ALL agencies are as corrupt as our criminal politicians. We need to “clean house” in 2022 & 2024 and start anew with true Americans and rid congress of every career hack and socialist scum. Only problem is the demoRats will have millions of illegals and millions of illegal ballots(made in china) by 2022 to stuff in the very questionable voting machines.
Why do they need to secure votes when they stuff ballot boxes. I have an employee that received 7 ballots in the mail spelling his name or rearranging first middle and last names
In my opinion, I think there are quite a few of the RINOs and older guys who may have been not to happy that Trump made it hard for them to get any “extra benefits” from other sources. Now, with the Democraps in control Kick-backs and graft is rampant again. They do not want Trump in control again.
William — You are EXACTLY RIGHT !!!!!!!
The rhinos see all the demo getting payed n they want to be payed. Pelosi loves having control. Can’t you just see her in her outfit with whip included. Cracking the whip do what I said.
Those few have no back bone. They are not strong enough to stand up to a woman like her. My father always said that a man that coward to a woman was hen pecked. We love you Mr Trump, our President.
Well, those that feel ashame to be connected to President Trump are in very bad company. Because I feel that President is not sinless and neither am I but we are forgiven because we ask God to forgive us of all of our sins. So those that act ashame of Trump and his supporters are the real losers. Those people that have jumped the ship are to be a pity because they are not real friends with anyone and one day they will be sorry that they have treated the best President, during my lifetime, horribly. God keep President Trump safe and bless all the days of his life.
HYPOCRISY and MENDACITY are the twin bastard scrod of Democrats everywhere in this country!
I would be very aware that the democrats have another trick to pull. They might have someone completely lie and be willing to go to prison for it, just to get what they want done to President Trump. Be very cautious. Also remember a team needs to be united. We love you President Trump.
Give him his day in court to prove himself and bring light onto what we all need to know. Just how far so much hate was done to this righteous President. God will help him to succeed. The Dems and Rhinos feel the shame of the wrongs they do out of pure HATE.
THE REASON THEY ARE DOING THIS IS TO TEACH ANYONE ELSE PLANNING TO ENTER POLITICS,WHO IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE DC SWAMP TO STAY OUT, ALSO PELOSY WANTS THE LAST LAUGH AGAINST THE PRESIDENT, WHAT PELOSY DOESNT REALIZE IS SHE IS REALLY TRYING TO LAUGH AGAINST GOD- NONE OF THESE DEMS ARE CHRISTIANS, THEY ALLOW RACISM AND THE SLAUGHTER OF BABIES- IN THE FINAL DAYS ,LIES WILL BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY. THE DEMS ARE THE PARTY OF LIES. FACT. ALL DEMS THAT ARE NOT AGAINST GOD, GET OUT OF THE EVIL PARTY WHILE YOU CAN.
They did this to Nixon, that man when he left the White House you could tell he had a broken heart, they kicked him to the ground, regardless what party he was it is still not right to treat one that way and I hope what goes around comes around, every dog in the Democrat need to be ashamed of themselves.
I totally agree with you. And now all justice appears to have disappeared. The man who won the election has literally and unjustly been crucified. However, that was not enough for these evil people who could care less about our country and allowing this demented moron to literally tear up the constitution as he undoes all the good our awesome President Trump had accomplished. And for you liberal morons who helped create this catastrophe because they called Trump a “dictator” what do you think you have in office now? This is truly a dictatorship run by a group of people who are tied to China and could care less about American citizens. They will use our money to destroy our lives as they live in comfort as billionaires. Everyone knows the election was fraudulent mostly due to illegal software that can be manipulated from anywhere in the world. Where was the Supreme Court, the FBI, The DOJ? All complicit. They would’t even hear the case since the evidence was overwhelming and they would have had to admit the truth totally proven by evidence sworn under oath. Anyone who saw the millions supporting our our President knew he had won by millions of votes. WE no longer live in a democracy. RIP our beloved country.
You are brilliant!!!!!!
Steve Rugg
democrats are the SCUM of the earth!
I CONCEALED CARRY (even though, in Utah, that permit soon will NOT be necessary!), and I have ABSOLUTELY N O patience with, or sympathy for, DemoRATS!
You want to talk insurrection???
Let those A_ _ HOLES even TRY to get our guns!
We will PUT DOWN the DEMORATS insurrection!
FORCEFULLY!, using the 2nd Amendment
Hear me American People! Do not blame anyone but you, yourself as to why you failed to reassess of the behavior of your CHOSEN President Biden! Now, what happen to your choice to lead you as your Commander in Chief, upon which, he now expresses his power of his position to seems to dictate what in his mind! So you see he accepted the ABORTION to be acceptable Law! If he accused Pres. Trump of inciting trouble of insurrection, then, Pres. Biden is more than worst in making ABORTION acceptable! ABORTION & MURDER (KILLING) ARE ONE IN MEANING! The main difference is the baby is not allowed to become as an ADULT while killing/MURDERING an ADULT is punishable by the Law! For example if your Choice you voted for Biden, would he be PRESIDENT? If his Mother have ABORTED him What happen to your choice?? The Law of “DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD WANT OTHERS DO TO YOU” will he be in your choice? Is your MOTIVE why you all voted for BIDEN is that you WANT a probable next President be a “FIRST BLACK WOMAN” which is Kamala Harris to put in HISTORY as the first American of Color to lead America & other NATIONS? Think legally, Got it?
Candido — First off “WE” as a majority DID NOT vote the pedophile and the tramp into office — they were put there by the demoRATS and traitorous rinos not the people. Of course some fools voted for them but NOT the majority. Secondly — the tramp is NOT black — she is Jamaican & Indian(India) — that does not make her black. She is another phony and liar like ol’ pocahontas was.
I agree with you. However, there is even more to be said. There is proof that the evil Dems set up the entire “insurrection.” A. Planting pipe bombs the nite before our President even spoke and B. setting up with Antifa to disguise themselves as Trump supporters and march ahead of the peaceful protesters to stage the insurrection. The timing was perfect and coincided with the start of the voting of the electors.
Where were all these “outraged” Dems all summer re the horrible violence during which time police precincts were burned down with people in them, bricks being thrown at cops who were also shot along with babies and thousands of businesses burned to the ground? This was all a setup to give these evil people still another fake reason to punish a President who worked with no payment for the love of his country.
WE DO NOT WANT COMMUNISM IN AMERICA. WE NEED TO PRAY AND STANDFAST AGAINST IT IN ANY OF ITS DISGUISED FORMS, MANY BELIEVE COMMUNISM IS MILITANTS DRESSED IN GREEN,THAT LOOK LIKE THEY ARE FROM THE CASTRO REGIME, NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH, A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME…. IT IS A BELIEF AND IDEALOGICAL SYSTEM OF FAKE EQUALITY,THIS HAS NEVER EXISTED AND WILL NEVER EXIST. WHEN EQUALITY IS SAID BY A COMMUNIST,THEY MEAN ALL FOR THE GVNMT AND EVERYONE ELSE GETS LEFTOVERS. THE DEMS ARE- RICH GET RICHER AND POOR POORER,THEY ARE DOING AWAY WITH MIDDLE CLASS.WAKE UP.
We failed as a country to repent of our national sin as warned to do so by Johnathan Cahan.Now God is pouring out his judgement upon us. Only true repentance by our nation will bring our nation back into Grace.
Will SOMEONE PLEASE stand for, and ADHERE to, the U.S. Constitution? . . . This TRIAL would have NEVER progressed as far as it did (2nd WORTHLESS meritless impeachment like the FIRST one?!?) if ALL Congress men and women did their JOB. This is APALLING, and there is NO excuse for this. The U.S. Constitution IS the LEGAL document HOLDING this UNION of States together that We The People go by. The Founding Fathers MUST be rolling in their graves. One Enlightened And DISGUSTED Patriot. Team Trump and His Allies 2020 – MAGA (WE’RE NOT going away!).
Remember these Republicans when they send you all sorts of messages begging for funds. Tell them where to go and when to get off. Nothing speaks to them louder than losing their funding. Send your money to the trump team instead.
Everything cones down to money
Hit those RINOS in their pockets !!!!
Boo Hoo !!!
The Democrats have bigger & better fish to Fry, mark my words they have Biggers plans for All of us!! To date Biden has sighed 40+ orders, we all sit here Gripping and Bitching about what Dem’s are Doing & have done, but we can’t seem to get to gather,pull together,stand up together! To get any thing don. Every one says we’ll sign this & I’ll do that it never comes to light.
President Trump stood up against Wrongful doing no matter who was doing it. President Trump never turned his back on us not once!! We so-called followers seams like we can’t Stand up for him. Can’t say we haven’t got the strength! We need to stand up and speak up for president Trump. Strength is in Numbers,the more speaks up the more that hears. Just a hand full of people can’t do it.
I know of 4 petitions against the Impeachment of president Trump i can count on my two hands the people that has signed them! People can start the process but theirs no followup.
Have you heard the remarks?
YOU NEVER FINISH ANYTHING YOU’VE STARTED!! I’ve herd it i dont knot the times when I was a child.
Why don’t we ALL try and do something be good for our Country.
Let’s Finish What we Have STARTED?
I love how so many here say let God do it, God will take care of it. Ha! The New Testament God, in the form of Jesus Christ, can’t do anything. He’s a turn-the-other-cheek kind of God. So we should let the corrupt and vile liberal Democrats run roughshod over us and destroy those of us who will not submit to their rule. What we need is an Old Testament kind of God. That God didn’t think twice about 40 days of rain to drown the wrongdoers, or letting loose 10 plagues on Egypt when he was displeased by Pharoah’s mistreatment of and refusal to free the Jews. How about that God’s destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah for their homosexual activity? Didn’t he turn Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt when she disobeyed his instruction not to look back? Talk about up close and personal one on one punishment. Wish we could call that God back.

The New Testament God is the same God as the Old Testament. The LION OF JUDAH will be returning after the Tribulation! If you read Revelation it tells of the horrible times to soon come on the earth for all unrighteousness committed by those who refuse to honor and believe in JESUS CHRIST as the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS! JESUS warned us in Matthew. It will be much worse than any time EVER on earth! But HE will protect HIS Church! JESUS took on human form when HE came to earth to bring healing to all and to present the Gospel by going to the Cross to take all our sins. The Cross brings us what we need to live today!
You have to fight for your Freedoms. Don’t let the Constitution and Bill of Rights down, Never Quit, Never Quit, Never Quit.
Amen
I have to believe that agents of Red China have enticed and intimidated most members of Congress. And then China won the election with their virus. They wanted Trump out because his tariffs and trade agreements were eliminating jobs and dislocating workers in China. All of those against Trump are for open borders, bleeding trillions of dollars out of our economy, bleeding millions of jobs out of our economy, eliminating the Second Amendment, eliminating the First Amendment, and instituting creeping socialism. Socialism is where the self-reliant and industrious are out numbered by the lazy and the envious who “progressively” kill all incentives for value creation by income redistribution, eliminating private enterprise, high taxes, and stifling laws and regulations so that everyone except the corrupt despots at the top suffer scarcity and live in economic hell. To me all socialists are lazy bums.
there has been many who has tried to conquer and control the world. they have all failed and are now dead and in eternal hell.
these clowns today are trying the same thing and are under demonic spiritual power. they to will fail and will be judged.
its a shame that many will suffer during this time of insanity, but at the same time (as history has shown) many will seek help from a higher power and then realize who is in control of all creation. sometimes it takes a spanking to wake up.
yes people, we have turned away from God. that is why we are in the situation we see today !
PRAY without Ceasing!
BELIEVE on our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Be STRONG in the Lord!
May GOD bless America and bless and protect President Trump!
Amen to that Peteaguevos
