No defense team!

The entire Trump impeachment defense team has quit! The team and Trump disagreeing with how to defend Trump in the trial. The lawyers were going to use a plan stating it was unconstitutional for Trump to be impeached and Trump wanted them to use his lame excuse that the election was stolen from him! Gosh, with nine days to go and it’s almost impossible to get a good defense team together for Trump! And the ones he had? Well, they are seeing how bat crazy Trump is!

Honestly, their only argument is "STOLEN ELECTION!" and Republicans won't vote to convict him in any case.

He could go in their personally and say "Yeah, I planned for them to kill all the Democrats in congress and Mike Pence. So what?" and all but a tiny handful of Republicans would vote to acquit while furiously nodding their agreement.

Then, the media would say "well, there was no evidence...".

I don't think you have to be a lawyer to represent him before the senate.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
