      Brought this up briefly last month, but poor performance of Trump's lawyers warrants noting one feature of trying a former president: He doesn't have the White House counsel's office. Meanwhile, impeachers have all the resources of the House of Representatives.pic.twitter.com/Uta3u0jwrN

      ??? Didn't Trump raise tens of millions in election fight which he could spend on this if he wanted?

      I also think this is not really the problem. Trump is not poor and he can certainly use his political committee to fund this. The problem is that no qualified lawyers were willing to make his preferred case, which involves lying and really there's just no defense.

      The case Trump seems to want to make is that the election was stolen from him so neither he nor the rioters did anything wrong. Obviously there are reasons why any reputable lawyer would avoid this.

          I see their point because HRC’s email server didn’t cause any harm so she did yep anything wrong.

          Wasn't that why the first team blew up? He wanted them to make an affirmative defense about a stolen election?

          And my guess is he still wants that argument made.

          Well, there's always Rudy. Wait, has he been disbarred yet? Oh and wait, hasn't Trump stiffed Rudy on the bills to date? OK, scratch that Rudy idea.

          This is a “no win” case for Trump’s lawyers. If he wins, it’s because the Republicans held out of fear or solidarity, not because the lawyers were good. If he loses, they lost an unlosable case and it’s on them. That’s not a situation that attracts great lawyers.

          Trying to kill the VP would still be wrong.
