First on CNN: Trump's impeachment defense team leaves less than two weeks before trial !!!
Former President Donald Trump's five impeachment defense attorneys have left a little more than a week before his trial is set to begin, according to people familiar with the case, amid a disagreement over his legal strategy.
A person familiar with the departures told CNN that Trump wanted the attorneys to argue there was mass election fraud and that the election was stolen from him rather than focus on the legality of convicting a president after he's left office. Trump was not receptive to their discussions. So the five quit.
It was a dramatic development in the second impeachment trial for Trump, who has struggled to find lawyers willing to take his case. And now, with legal briefs due next week and a trial set to begin only days later, Trump is clinging to his election fraud charade and suddenly finds himself without legal representation.

Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier quit. Bowers assembled the team. Josh Howard, a North Carolina attorney who was recently added to the team, has also left. Johnny Gasser and Greg Harris, also from South Carolina, quit.
The attorneys had not yet been paid any advance fees and a letter of intent was never signed.
No other attorneys have announced they are working on Trump's impeachment defense.

rump could violently rape a 12 yr old girl in the middle of 5th avenue on video cam and the repos in senate would still never vote to convict
and all the rumplickers would still support him as a god

No self respecting lawyer should work for Trump. Suicidal to claim stolen election in 60 previous lawsuits in court. Besides, Trump has a history of failing to pay contractors. However even if he does nothing, corrupt senate republicans already decide to ignore evidences and not convict him for political reasons. Ridiculous barrier to justice from excessive two-third majority requirement. Historically, no president has ever been convicted in senate no mater how serious the offense. Is US the only country where a president is impeached twice without being convicted?

The collapse of Trump's legal team amid a disagreement over legal strategy, which CNN first reported Saturday night, stood in stark contrast to the slow crawl of Republican elected leaders back into the former President's corner as the anger lawmakers feel about the insurrection fades and his potential power to help or destroy them in the 2022 elections becomes paramount.

While the Republican Party continues to bend to Trump's whims, forgive his dangerous behavior, and quiver in the face of his election threats, the judiciary and the legal profession are adhering to a higher ethical standard -- and have l argely refused to tolerate his efforts to ramrod the nation's democratic institutions and founding principles throughout his baseless election charade -- making the GOP's loyalty to Trump even more appalling.

Disgraced former President Donald Trump's office announced that David Schoen and Bruce L. Castor, Jr. will now head the legal team for his second impeachment trial, a day after CNN first reported that five members of his defense left and his team effectively collapsed. One point of friction with his previous team was Trump wanted the attorneys to focus on his election fraud claims rather than the constitutionality of convicting a former president.
Trump has struggled to find lawyers willing to take his case as he refuses to budge from his false claims. Trump's advisers have been talking to him about his legal strategy and he keeps bringing up election fraud for his defense, while they have repeatedly tried to steer him away from that, according to a source familiar with those discussions.
It's unclear whether Schoen and Castor will go along with what Trump wants.

Trump's new team of 2 lawyers (replacing the FIVE who quit) are apparently arguing that trump, on Jan 6, was only asserting his 1st amendment rights. Because conviction requires AT LEAST 17 republicans to break ranks and vote to convict, OBVIOUSLY this won't happen. Trump will be acquitted...........again.............because of partisanship, not merits. Which trump will boast "exonerates him from any and all wrongdoing"
exactly rump deserves conviction but it still wont happen
