Trump's defense is using the "hearsay/no facts" testimonies from Schiff's hearing

[underpants]

Okay. Hold it. They're using the "hearsay/no facts" testimonies from Schiff's hearings???
The right wing has been saying this for a month. Now THEY are using THAT testimony in their defense?!?!

Amazing.

Oh and the written order from Trump to ignore subpoenas is a closed book. The second article.

1. What else do they have?

Cannot say he did something wrong and cannot say he did nothing wrong.

2. Their approach will backfire . . .

Democratic House Managers - rebuttal will be a thing of beauty. Expect the Republican senators to go to the "cloakroom" where the drugs and booze are.

5. I don't think they get a rebuttal. nt

7. 16hrs of Q&A to follow. Strategic questions from Dem Senators will frame the rebuttal. n/t

9. Ah, yes.

I was basing my comment on the talking heads on MSNBC last night saying Schiff went over and destroyed all their talking points last night because they would not get a rebuttal.

8. Schiff's prebuttal was on target

They referenced his public interpretation of the phone call.

They referenced testimony that did not link the aid to the Biden investigation, but the Dems did a good job establishing the plot starting months earlier. If anything these guys are giving reason for witnesses

3. Back up the manure wagon and get ready for a giant load.

4. His tweets today are incredibly laughable

Narcissistic Retweets and 3rd grader name-calling

6. They're the originators of all these lines. Of course they use them now. They are loyalists backing

the "unified executive theory" -- some bullshit academic legitimacy, eh? -- that supports an UNequal status of the Executive in the three branches of government.

This is their goal. To convince people that democracy is impotent and worthless. It's an old Koch belief that supports his claim that the days of democracy must end.
