I wasn't going to watch. I have work to do today and I couldn't afford the time or the emotional distraction so I wasn't going to watch the Impeachment Trial in Washington. But then, checking in on my Twitter feed, folks had posted the 13-minute video the House Managers had shown to kick off their case in the Senate. It's pretty horrifying…
And suddenly, I'm watching the Impeachment Trial. I caught some of the proceedings, mostly the opening arguments by Trump's lawyers, who seem to have even Trump and Trump-fans pretty unhappy. I saw when this happened…
One of the lawyers heading former President Donald Trump's defense at his second impeachment trial is conceding that Trump lost the election to Joe Biden, a fact that Trump himself has refused to acknowledge. In opening remarks Tuesday, lawyer Bruce Castor said: "The American people are smart enough to pick a new administration if they don't like the old one. And they just did." Later, Castor referred to Trump, saying: "He was removed by the voters."
Guess this is what you get when you can't get any reputable lawyer to defend you and you have to hire one off Craig's List. The maddening thing of course is that you could have Gomer Pyle defending Trump and he could even admit to heinous crimes by his client…and it wouldn't make much difference to the final vote.
