Meet the Trump Defense Team ALL STARS! Jordan! Collins! Lesko! Meadows! Ratcliffe! Stefanik! Zeldin!

President Donald Trump added a number of far-right congressional Republicans to his impeachment trial defense team.

“The legal team for the White House just got a lot bigger, Fox News reported Monday.

The network announced Trump has added Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH), Doug Collins (R-GA), Debbie Lesko (R-AZ), Mark Meadows (R-NC), John Ratcliffe (R-TX), Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Lee Zeldin (R-NY).

The members of Congress will reportedly be “advisors” to the legal team and will not be speaking on the floor of the Senate.

This could be fun as I'm sure the legal team is looking forward to be advised

My guess is that the "advisors" will be there mainly for the edification of Hannity, Pirro and Carlson.

They could be there to remind Moscow Mitch and the Russiapublican Senators that TrumPutin expects praise from his supplicants.

How about it, Mitch? You gonna kiss that orange ass for the rest of your life?
