Trump Lawyers Mount 'Weird' Defense On Third Day Of Impeachment Trial | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
The sad part is enough Republicans are going to vote not guilty after this D level lawyering.
Those republicans must be reminded that the voters will not forget their treason.
Cole Chillin: The fact is, acquittal was a foregone conclusion even before GOP Senators heard one single piece of evidence. They said as much prior to the trial.
@Intelligent Design I respectfully disagree with your assessment.
@Whitehorse Pictures I’m 99% sure it’s a bot because I saw the same comment by the same account over and over again in all the recent MSNBC videos.
@Crow Bait All it takes is one dishonest actor and a small cast of supporting sycophants to disrupt the whole process. A house divided cannot stand long, it will either become one or the other.
They have no worries because they know the GOP won’t convict
@DogeCoin Moon Trips Dross
Exactly could have read I don’t like green eggs and ham, Sam I am……same result
@DogeCoin Moon Trips What you are saying really doesn’t matter, since the Senate GOP had already decided to acquit even before hearing any evidence. This includes the essence of the prosection case you outline in your response.
@Luke Mills don’t be surprised when they convict him, and if they don’t convict, they will bar him from further office.
@ozzrob The Dems edited Trump from day 1 to this circus act. Wake up.
I rarely laugh during your program, but this time I couldn’t stop. Most amusing moment of my day!
@Laurie VanCurler snickered? I burst out laughing 😂 😂 😂
*obsessed* 🐑 🐑
@Intelligent Design yes, everyone knows you 🐑 🐑 want a dictator. Typical commie
@Tseleng Botlhole ..
Well, you know, it was late, and everyone was asleep. I had to keep a lid on my amusement.
@Laurie VanCurler 😂😂😂 sure
It was really funny
This happens if you ask a car dealer to be your counsel in the senate.
It could’ve been a drunken, incoherent mall Santa in full costume and the GQP would still vote to acquit.
Too funny….I tap out!
I think this is what happens when you don’t pay your bills – you end up with Lionel Hutz as your attorney. Cos these guys are definitely from the “I Can’t Believe It’s An Attorney” legal corps..
Yes … yes it does
Rachaels sniff was legendary.
Totally agree ☺️
Just lies. How can those lawyers look in the mirror just lying SOB’s. And I hate to call people that. Lowdown dogs
@Pierre Swart No I prefer the truth. Not lies that were told by trumps so called lawyers. Deflection is away they can save face put it w was lying
@D.J. your right
projection. the house managers case was laughable lol
@Cathy Anders trumps lawyers showed the unedited videos and proved that democrats edited video to suit their needs. They would be in prison if this was a regular court hearing
@Pierre Swart The arguments provided by Trumps lawyers were both poorly delivered and BS.
“Incitement to resurrection”
Mike nearly required resurrection just not by those fake evangelicals Christian.
@My Tale I think trumps lawyer is a personal injury lawyer lolol
That scene in The Lion King where the cub keeps saying “Papa wake up”: that’s incitement to resurrection.
@My Tale Hey! His Lawyer has a certified JD from Trump University.
They only admit the best. *

Oleaginous Pence.
@My Tale Twunt University?
Is trump trying, again, for the incompetence excuse? A lawyer? I sent a lawn mower?
Is Drump trying to set things up for an “Ineffective assistance of counsel” appeal?
Did you actually watch the impeachment?
Hes done it alot
Defense Counsel van der Veen imagined himself as Robert DeNiro, in his great film role: _”Mr. Bickle goes to Washington.”_
I was the one that tweeted the “Cry me a river”
I thought it was funny. Whatever the defender was going for then, but he surely failed to make a point.
Or wait, did you actually incite river floddings after that? For we had a flood here only weeks after that. 🤤
No it was me. I said that.
lol and here I thought Rudy set the bar all the way down to the ground. These guys take it down much further.
Underground limbo dancing indeed.
Rudy scraped the bottom of the barrel. These guys brought in the Deepwater Horizon to drill through it.
This is absolutely hilarious (despite the serious nature of the situation). Shame the bit about the ‘calvary’ was not included.
” Notice when you put the needle on the record it plays” Bunker boys lawyer.
“incitement to resurrection” I always thought they thought he was a Jesus.
Well, his base consider him a kind of savior. They trust only him, they follow him, they obey him.
Lol. At least I got some entertainment out of these “lawyers.”
The man sounds like he wrote a bunch of stream of consciousness notes and read them off without weeding out the crazy dream parts.
Watch the whole thing- she is clipping the worst parts, obviously.
Except if that note was made over several days, and consisted primarily of clowns in suits
It reads like excerpts from a stoner’s diary.
The fact that he isn’t under ‘oaths’ means that he can lie as much as he likes whilst knowing full well that the corrupt GOP will not convict Trump.
that was like a John Grisham novel for the mentally handicapped…
If i may speak for everyone if not atleast myself…. “Huh?” Lol
