Former President Donald Trump's five impeachment defense attorneys have left a little more than a week before his trial is set to begin amid a disagreement over his legal strategy. CNN's Elie Honig breaks down what this means for Trump's case.

wow
@Sharilynn McIntosh fair and balanced
@dean king // Same here. Well done! 👍
Rudy Giuliani: pull my 👈 finger
Sidney Powell: Time to break out the Kraken 🦑
Kayleigh McEnany can go Karen for the Trial
@Jason McDonald dude, Trump supporters aren’t drinking any Kool-Aid, you have that completely backwards.
Rudy guilani: “let’s have trial by combat”
Sidney Powell: let’s show the Senate the 🦑Kraken
Rudy Giuliani: pull my 👈 finger
Donald Trump speaks what’s on his mind, often as soon as it appears there. And after winning his third-straight contest in Nevada Tuesday, Trump credited his “poorly educated” supporters, in part, for the win.
“We won the evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated,” he said during his victory speech.
Let’s set aside the fact that “poorly educated” is not the same as “less educated” and look at the numbers:
Trump did well across the board in Nevada, garnering 45.9% of the vote, but he did even better among voters with a high school education or less. Fifty-seven percent of those voters supported him, according to entrance polls, courtesy of CNN.
The next closest candidate among high-school-or-less voters was Ted Cruz, who had 20%.
That’s a sizable gap of 37 percentage points.
Trump didn’t just win with less educated voters, or “poorly educated,” as he called them, he crushed it.
It’s true Trump did perform the best of any candidate among highly educated voters, too, but not nearly so well.
He gained 37% of the votes from those with postgraduate education, with Marco Rubio earning 29%
As much as Trump loves the “poorly educated,” he didn’t want to join them: The Ivy League grad got his degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968.
Trump’s “poorly educated” line sparked much reaction, including smirking and shock.
But some — journalists, mostly — noted that Trump’s proud embrace of poorly less educated voters and the resulting shock may only cause those less educated voters to embrace
Yep
WOW…It’s true. You people say you hate Trump yet he is your ‘DRUG’. You cannot stop talking about him even after he’s gone. 24/7 Trump Trump Trump Trump….you guys need therapy.
@10th letter Both sides would quickly call off the fight because old white guys aren’t built for combat. Trump probably couldn’t even grip a sword with his tiny hands, Biden would break a hip, and I don’t really see most of congress doing any better since all they know is Cash Fu.
It’s the smartest decision those attorneys ever made.
EVER!!!!
Think about it, even lawyers think their morals don’t sink that low!
@Pete Pavmorals have nothing to do with it! They know a LOSER when they see one and he’s got a reputation of not paying the freight! Best a public defender gets him is the insane plea!
Trump should defend himself, best show ever.
@Brian Cameron election’s over. Biden won, he’s president now..
you can stop with the Big Lie,.
It’s likely what he prefers (the more attention the better), especially since there will be no chance that GOP senators will vote to convict…no matter what the evidence proves to be. He’ll then see it as his final and very public success. So, entertaining…yes. Disgusting and demoralizing…yes to that as well.
@Michelle Hudson we are talking about trump supporters attempting a coup against the United States, incited by trump, with intentions to kill the opposition, including Mike Pence.
not only is there no moral equivalence here, all YOU are doing is trying to defect from the fact that trump supporters tried to stage an actual coup against the United States.
I get that we’re gonna see a BUNCH of folks like you posting the same right wing talking point, which is ‘deflect away from the attempted coup by mentioning BLM.’
I implore every single person reading this to reply to every single one of those posts by pointing out that they are trying to deflect from trump supporters staging an attempted coup against the United States
flood their deflections with on topic replies.
@AGreatMarksman ” Capitol is still there too. So what are y’all crying about? ”
they tried to overthrow the government.
some of us think that’s a bad thing.
we prefer democracy over fascism.
go figure.
@AGreatMarksman ” if you don’t know how to spell wombat ”
guess it’s a good thing I know how to spell it then.
He can get Rudy and that kooky lady who talks like she just fell off the turnip truck and hurt her head real bad, Sidney Powell.
Mr. Morton how dare you lmao… you right
Didn’t Rudy get Dis-Barred?
Rudy is too busy trying to stop that melted caca leak from his brain. Forget about him.
@Kat O Im not certain, If the mission was accomplished.? But I heard he was going to be.
@Brandy Courvoisier 😂caca leak from his brain 😂L😂L!😂😂😂
why would Dump need a lawyer? the senate gop ‘jury’ will do that job for free, but it at cost of democracy. this has been a surreal devolution of the gop
@Guess Who I mean, when you have been pushing for impeachment since 2016, before he took office. Also tried a partisan impeachment last year, yep i can’t believe you figure it out. Even though you weren’t being serious.
You need to educate yourself better. You sound pathetic.

WOW…It’s true. You people say you hate Trump yet he is your ‘DRUG’. You cannot stop talking about him even after he’s gone. 24/7 Trump Trump Trump Trump….you guys need therapy.
The ex-President who lost the House, the Senate and the White House in a single four-year term! ahahah
@Tanya Degurechaff but it means nothing as far as an election goes.

@Matt Erickson never did i claim him winning more counties meant that he should have won the election.
WOW…It’s true. You people say you hate Trump yet he is your ‘DRUG’. You cannot stop talking about him even after he’s gone. 24/7 Trump Trump Trump Trump….you guys need therapy.
His defense: election was stolen.
Talk about the biggest crybaby
@Smack Dabb Exactly
@Chauncey W I don’t want or need you to saying anything nice about anyone but that just goes to prove what kind of person you truly are. Fight hate with hate, makes sense. Also you have a phone, you have access to YouTube, google etc.. and you still actually believe that trump called white supremacist very fine people.. if you had half a brain cell you would seek out the full unedited video of him condemning those people. I’m not saying you’re brainwashed by any news media organization but by you saying stuff like that goes to show that you’re very wrong about that and you’re mostly wrong on a lot more stuff.. seriously look up the unedited version and you’ll see that you’re being manipulated. I’ll go on about my business because I refuse to have a debate over the internet with anyone that simply can look up a video on the application they’re currently using to debunk these ridiculous think they hear about on CNNs YouTube Channel. I bet you still think the Russians meddled in our election in 2016 too.. good day, whatever gender you are.
@Rich Buddy, trump called White supremacists “very fine people” on national tv, which I’ll post the video below. There’s no need for anyone here to lie about what he’s said or done, that’s pointless. Just like @Jason Michaels said, the way you conduct yourself as the leader of this country matters, and you may be okay with all he’s said and done, but the rest of us with a soul aren’t. You’re basically trying to defend his actions without coming out and directly saying it, which is a complete cop out. I don’t lead this country, I don’t have to prove myself to anyone. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/trump-defends-2017-very-fine-people-comments-calls-194700894.html
Actually it was stolen, but your Chinese controlled media doesn’t air the evidence so you think its not there. It’s what they WANT you to think.

Five defense attorneys: Bye Felicia.
Hey..! Nobody Outcrazy’s Ophelia..!

My god you must be so old. That must be like a meme from 70 years ago.
AKA In court Lies have consequences, fines, jail time, disbarment
Really what about that guy that was found to have misled the fisa court?
You Might be a Democrat
If you believe in freedom of the press as long as they don’t say anything with which you disagree, you might be a Democrat
If you believe that all of your shortcomings and failures are because of middle-aged white men, you might be a Democrat
If you think burning, looting, assault and destruction of government property by BLM and Antifa is perfectly OK, but a protest by Republicans at the Capitol is not, you might be a Democrat.
If you’re happy to count votes from dead people, illegal aliens, and people with mailing addresses at vacant lots, you might be a Democrat.
If you like the idea of dictating to people what they can buy, eat, drive, and say, you might be a Democrat.
If you spend your time and energy looking for and crying about things that offend you, you might be a Democrat
If they are merely asking the questions though, what would be considered as a lie by an attorney?
Good for them. Finally someone standing up to his insane delusions.
Trumps lawyers: Yeah we’ll be right back, we’re just going to the bathroom.
*Sneaks out bathroom window*
@Daniel Koza trumptards are so butthurt over this
🤔😂
🇨🇺 Rafael Eduardo Cruz 🇨🇺 is an attorney

@valar Oi! At least Lionel Hutz can speak a complete sentence without going off on a tangent about how great he is… So great… So great that you should throw out votes in only the states he wants you to.
Why hire lawyers when he knows that he.has republican senators in his pocket?
True
So true
He actually doesn’t need to have a lawyer. Impeachment doesn’t require one.
and he should have senators in his pocket, What he doesnt have is a lying unending stream of media that has all you liberals brainwashed
This makes no difference. Republicans will close ranks, they could show cartoons as a defence and it wouldn’t change the vote.
I wish I could argue with this statement. But alas it’s probably more true than not.
@e0n not forget how he was the greatest president ever and how the liberals attacked him for no reason scared of a president for the people who protected the constitution
I would love to open an argument to contradict you but based on US politics impeachment history you freaking “hit the nail on the head”.
@Fentanyl Flyod *coughCRAYzeEcough* sure sweetie, sure.
@e0n <<
Republicans got him covered. The jury is stacked. Al Capone would have been jealous.
Agreed , he doesn’t need a legal team so why waste the money.
He was never going to pay them anyway.
@Logan M lmfao you guys say that all the time it’s so funny.
@Logan M WOW!!! I can’t believe that ur still clinging to that. I guess going 0 for 80 in local, state, federal, & Supreme Court doesn’t mean much to u🤦♂️🤔🤷♂️
Reality is the kryptonite of the Left.
“If a ruler listens to falsehood, All his officials will be wicked”
Sounds like it was a strategy conflict, but those lawyers actually did themselves a favor. Trump doesn’t pay his bills. Saved themselves a lot of sweat and grief for no pay.
Please stop referring the Trump as “the President”, he’s past tense and doesn’t deserve the title anyway.
