In a 10-minute speech before the Senate on Tuesday, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow threw everything but the kitchen sink onto the floor of the Senate, winking and nodding toward a number of stories that didn’t have much at all to do with the President’s defense strategy.
So it was a Fox greatest hits piece. Pathetic.
For good measure
Sekulow seemed to be free associating. The Democrats presented a narrative, and Sekulow did not contradict the narrative, but rather said the Democrats are mean, had no right to present a narrative, didn’t let Trump present a counter-narrative, and Schiff is a poopypants. Not very effective or adult, but it is all they got.
That seems to be the game plan
President innocent of EVERYTHING because reasons
Average Faux viewer:
“I’m good with that”
Here’s hoping Sekulow and all others from Trump University Law School got part of that $25 Million fraud settlement!
He clearly deserves it!!
Sekulow is a moron’s idea of a good lawyer.
That little rant would have gotten him sanctioned by the judge in any real judicial proceeding.
As a young musician, my mentor told me that one had to know one’s audience. We did not do Miles at a Hootenanny.
So it would not surprise me if Putin’s psy-ops people put together whatever Trump’s bullshit-artists spew out to the minions.
Because that’s who it’s FOR.
Wow held onto the Articles of Impeachment over that most fought over holiday-Christmas. Now who keeps saying there’s a war on Christmas, who would whine and carry on if the Articles had been delivered before Christmas break and then MoscowMitch made all the Senators stay in DC instead of celebrating the most import Christian holiday that comes at the end of the calendar year. They’d be crabbing at Nancy if she screwed up their holiday plans.
Simple irrelevant arguments for the simple-minded minions … and for the Republican Senators who want to appear high-minded, but want to do the simple thing to cover up all Trump’s wrongdoing. Any argument will be enough to give them an excuse. Might as well gargle vodka and mouthwash at the podium. It’ll be sufficient.
Seems that Trump and the GOP are getting way out on the lake & they are on what appears to potentially be very thin ice … and for some inexplicable reasons - they are choosing to jump up and down.
??? If the ice dramatically cracks … do they imagine that Vlad will swoop in with helicopters to save them & whisk them away to sanctuary in Russia?
For all the fanfare these Trump super hero lawyers received going in they are as inept as they come. Big surprise there. They have nothing but will regale us with their limitless list of Trumps grievances.
Average Republican Senator:
“Me, too. Brilliant argument. Vote to acquit.”
ETA: “And I’ll have no further comment. It’s over. Time to move on.” (Get me the fuck outta here.)
" And the Lindbergh baby - whatever happened to that?
Have you noticed the Loch Ness Monster hasn’t been seen lately? Why isn’t anyone asking Obama about that?
Nancy Pelosi doesn’t like Russi— I mean America, because she says the President can’t ask our foreign enemies to interfere in elections. What a disgrace!"
The Cipollone/Sekulow (and that Regis Philbin dude) performance has been so bad, especially in contrast to Schiff and Lofgren that the calls are spiking at GOP Senate offices.
This is starting to have more of the feel of the ACA Senate deliberations. If you live in one of these key states, call your GOP Senator. It can work.
The Schumer amendment is well done. It asks for everything, including whatever the WH has on Biden (which would mean all the stuff that Lev has).
In addition, Schumer has filed a 2nd amendment for all the State Dept material that Pompeo is sitting on.
You’ve mis-spelt “morons” again. Sheesh.
“Let me tell you a story.”…since I won’t let you hear any of the evidence, witnesses or the truth.
Trump’s legal tag team actually lied repeatedly in front of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in their opening statement and got caught immediately. Nobody does that unless they are presenting a case in Moscow. It would be immediate disbarment if done in a criminal trial here.
When did repeating ad nauseam “It’s ridiculous!” become a valid legal defense??
And, this BS is why I’m not getting sucked into listening to these morons.
Will people pay enough attention to get past the smoke and mirrors? It might happen if the Trump Dream Team continues to be so inept!
I hope some faithful Fox-listener Trumpies actually listen to the proceedings. It might be the first time they get to hear the facts.
