Through eight hours of senator questions Wednesday, President Trump’s legal team stumbled the most when facing questions about the underlying facts of the case against the President — including questions posed by GOP senators.
Even a gimme question from Sens. John Kennedy (R-LA) and Jerry Moran (R-KS) asking what Hunter Biden did for the money that Burisma paid him, posed issues for the defense. Trump attorney Pam Bondi appeared unsure of the key points she was aiming to drive home about Biden’s tenure at the Burisma, at one point spending several seconds, while turning pages in her binder, to finish a sentence detailing when Biden left the board.
It can be hard keeping all your lies straight.
Pam Biondi is an insult to all blondes.
She’s really incompetent for an incredibly unqualified hack.
When your entire strategy is to promote a fiction, I guess you tend to lose your grasp of the facts.
And the more they failed, the less likely witnesses became…
Look it’s simple, let Bolton, testify. He was an eye witness. He’s obviously not a Democrat. Otherwise it’s just a coverup and everyone will see it as such. I would also guess that even though the White House is trying to prevent Bolton’s book from being released. They should know that sooner or later, some of it, if not all of it will leak. Actually it may have already leaked. When it does the Times or the Post will print it ala the Pentagon Papers and Republicans will have to face the public with the Trump millstone on their necks.
Pam Bondi looks like an unprepared 4th grader giving a book report to the class after only reading the jacket cover.
And I realize this is an insult to 4th graders everywhere.
yeah. kind of like eric being the village idiot of the town of village idiots.
I’m starting to realize each flip of the page was some sort of Morse code cry for help.
Because the alternative would be she’s just incredibly incompetent. But we all know Trump buys off only the best people.
Thick as thieves, the lot of them. I’m beginning to think it may be a vast right wing conspiracy…
But in the meantime this whole thing is just horrifying. This collapse of principle by Republicans is beyond words. We are living the worst kind of history - watching our democracy be dismantled from the inside. We knew the fix was in but it still will be a horrible horrible moment when the cover-up passes and he is acquitted.
Yes, but a gaslighting incompetence is part of the show. Nazis acted like buffoons in the early years, too.
I wouldn’t go there if I were you. Pretty soon you’ll be getting “That’s an insult to Nazis everywhere.”
Lev just left a huge steaming pile in Miss Lindsay’s parlour:
Graham must recuse.
Lev is dropping more recordings including a new a Mar-a-Lago special. HPSCI has them. Lev says Igor made all the recordings so Igor’s always there, not Lev alone, and maybe not Lev at all (sounds convieneint).
Steely-eyed attorney Bondy is something to behold - “…our intent is to always comply Anderson”. He has an amazing stare, almost no facial movements, robotic.
IMO Lev is working for the Russian mob, They’re more likely to off him so he’s gotta rat out Trump to survive. That’s why he’s always saying Trumpism is not the mob but a cult, just like the mob would like him to say. It’s both as we know.
Apparently some of the recordings are more Giuliani butt-dials.
This scandal is either Quid Pro D’oh or The Butt-dial Scandal
My great faith in the inherent and total molluskness of the quislings remains strong. Our democracy is being done in by quisling mollusk. So easily done! Wheeeee! Oh, the games they play! Who knew that you can cover your ass with fuck all and ridiculousness and lo your sorry ass is declared armor-plated.
Oh, and fuck those assholes Romney and Collins, with a cattle prod. Is America great or what?
I can’t stand that Patrick Philbin!
Is it typically her practice to write one word on every page? That would be quirky but it’s the only explanation I can think of.
But seriously folks JFC if you ask successful lawyers why they do well they invariably say “preparation.” That was pathetic. I understand her main qualification is having taken a bribe but when you’re on a national stage you’re allowed and even encouraged to get ready so you don’t embarrass yourself.
Well she’s blonde, so there’s that.
Trump tweets and other Republican grievances and talking points - thoroughly indexed and cross-referenced, and hours of practice saying with the proper indignant tone.
Facts of what happened over the past 4 years - not so much.
