It is amazing how bad a lawyer you can be when the jury is rigged for you.

These guys are bad.
Trump's lawyers suck and they are probably going to win anyway.

But is there a chance they do such a bad job it hurts trump and he gets convicted?
That's my only hope now.

I've said from the beginning, their best option was to say nothing. Start the case with "The Defense Rests."

They already had won. They can't possibly lose enough votes to lose, no matter what they do, so why even have bothered?
