But Trump’s fellow Republicans communicated their message very well:

Shorter Schoen: “I was really the lead and get all the credit for the win, and that other guy over there gets credit for all the stupidity.”

LOL — “communication problems”? No, they were plagued by their own incompetence and an obviously guilty and corrupt client — they were only rescued by an equally guilty and corrupt cabal of GOP Senators.

Um, yeah, the “communication” didn’t really start until about four days before the trial, because none of them had been signed up yet. Then there’s the guy they added half way through the trial.

Puhlease.
All those Bozos had to do was show up and be able to fog a mirror with their breath. They still would’ve gotten an acquittal. Poor communication indeed. The outcome would have been no different if they had performed the defense entirely while “speaking in tongues”. They could’ve found only an entertainer who would place a microphone by his ass and fart out the tune of the national anthem, and they would’ve gotten an acquittal.

Poor communication indeed. Yeah, especially when multiple jurors (Republican Senators) meet privately with defense counsel during the “trial”. I think I would’ve preferred being serenaded with a farted national anthem.

On the other hand, the House Impeachment Managers presented a devastating case.
Kudos!

This all signifies nothing, as the attorney team could have dropped their pants, mooned the Senate, and said, “there’s your legal argument,” and not lost any votes. To some extent, a poor showing here is in Trump’s favor, as it’s an excuse for why the vote wasn’t even more favorable.

There seems to be a pattern here…I can’t quite put my finger on it…

When you’ve got a partially corrupt jury pool, the sky’s the limit for what you can overcome, client from hell or not.

Wow the Victim Culture really is rampant on the right. Oh, poor us, we had communication issues, but we persevered and were able to get the President Acquitted. Ain’t we just THE BEST despite all of our “adversity?”

Give me a f***ing break…

No one quite knows their role, who else might be involved, poor communication between interested parties, and all done at the last minute. Say no more, it’s obviously a Donald Trump production, where even though the fix was in, he still somehow lost ground.

I’m beginning to think Castor vandalized this guy’s driveway. Not really team players, are they?

“I wasn’t assertive. I didn’t tell them — I sort of did, I thought, but anyway they weren’t hearing it that I was supposed to be the lead person — but it’s just not my personality,” Schoen told Jewish Insider. “They have a whole firm there. I’m just not going to say to another person I’m a better lawyer.”

Fuck you, you ambulance-chasing whiny dipshit. Your career is toast, and you deserve it.

“Castor, whose meandering arguments during the trial were widely panned even by Trump allies, still proceeded to lead the charge in defending the former president.”

Bruce Castor is the Clark Griswold of Denny Cranes.

Castor is a Montgomery County guy. He’d get lost over here in Chester County.

I believe it considering he was quite at sea in a courtroom.

That clears everything up. It was poor communications on the team.

“it wasn’t the right fit” between Bowers and Trump, denying reports of Bowers and the former president at odds over legal strategy.
More likely Bowers wanted to get paid and Trump didn’t want to pay him.
Really Trump didn’t even need to bother having a defense team, the fix was in from the beginning.
