Trump considering Giuliani and Dershowitz for impeachment defense team

[demmiblue]

Source: CNN

(CNN)Staring down the barrel of a second impeachment, President Donald Trump is beginning to mull who would represent him in a Senate trial.

He's expected to be represented by his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, in the event of an impeachment trial, two sources familiar with the matter said, and is also considering hiring controversial attorney Alan Dershowitz for his impeachment defense team.

Dershowitz declined to comment to CNN, saying, "I don't talk to CNN, I sue them." But he told Politico on Friday that it would be his "honor and privilege" to defend the President.

A Giuliani spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

1. LOVE it!!!

[mpcamb]

45. Right! Put both of those incompetent senile bastards up there!

[getagrip_already]

86. rudy does know that lying before congress is a crime? right?

Even lawyers can be tried for perjury.

[C_U_L8R]

2. They'll be presenting their defense in The Capitol Grille parking lot

[MyOwnPeace]

25. "Hello? Capitol Hill......"

Rudy: "Damn smart phone - I don't know why they call it that......"

[Pobeka]

77. LOL!

[Bluethroughu]

3. Gross.

[Zoonart]

4. Traitors and sex offenders...

that's all he's got. I can't believe that either of t hem still has a law license.

[turtleblossom]

5. Was Dershowitz one of OJ's lawyer?

[MyOwnPeace]

27. Yep!

Has gone over the edge since..... allegedly one of party friends of Jeffery Epstein...

[oasis]

78. "Allegedly"? C'mon now, what are the chances Dershowitz checks DU for

possible libel targets?

[MyOwnPeace]

83. Not looking for libel targets....

he's looking for "young friends!"

[Sgent]

89. He was always

a strong libertarian -- its just at one time he was a world class lawyer. Also former ACLU big wig, started the Innocence Project that has gotten 10's -- 100's of people off death row.

[mpcamb]

49. And a Jeffery Epstein buddy with frequent flyer miles.

[Codifer]

62. But he kept his underwear on when

he was getting a massage (his admission).

If anyone believes that I could sell them tickets for the 2021 trump Inaugural Ball.

[rzemanfl]

6. Good luck with that Drumpf, you delusional piece of shit. n/t

[musette_sf]

7. What, was the esteemed firm

of Barrow and Parker, Esqs, of St Louis MO, otherwise engaged??

[Akacia]

8. Please Proceed!

[NJCher]

9. not a dream team, for sure

More like the nightmare team.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. The end result of all this may be not much of anything

McConnell will stall until Jan 19 or 20. Even if the new Congress brings it to the floor and holds hearings, do you think 67 Senators will do what's right? What's that you say, we have 50? Ok, so if we can remove 25 of theirs we have 2/3. 25 ain't gonna happen.

So I think this 2nd impeachment will only tag Trump again, and hopefully if he ever does run again, the public will be put off by 2 impeachments. What would his campaign slogan be? Three times a charm?

[MissMillie]

11. After Giuliani's pot election performance?

That's very funny

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. That should be entertaining.

Will they have Lin Wood and Sidney Powell as second-chairs? I hope so.

[SeattleVet]

37. They might not be available...

tRump may be appointing them to federal judgeships on Monday.

[ananda]

13. ROFL

[EarlG]

14. Awesome

Giuliani will probably ask for trial by combat.

[Budi]

15. What if they're all indicted?

[Brainfodder]

16. The only 2 willing to accept the "honor"?

[usajumpedtheshark]

17. Assuming Rudely hasn't been disbarred or indicted by then.

And Durshowitz isn't busy distancing himself from Ghislaine Maxwell

[Frustratedlady]

18. Looks like he's run out of lawyers like he ran out of banks to loan to him.

He's either fired or cheated them to the point of diminishing his supply.

[soothsayer]

19. Unleash the crackpots!

[yellowcanine]

20. Rudy has a conflict. He was part of the sedition.

[central scrutinizer]

21. Bring the Lysol spray

Can Covid-19 be transmitted by farts?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

22. Giuliani would defend Trump at his impeachment trial?

Trump's best result would be to get kicked out of office. With G-man on the team he'd better be worried about that gallows the Trump Rioters built for Pence.

[VA_Jill]

23. Is this a comedy or a nightmare?

[Dopers_Greed]

24. They might try to put their hands down their pants during the trial

[solara]

26. Yes!!!

[hatrack]

28. The Law Firm of Senile and Penile

They'll get the job DONE!!

[MyOwnPeace]

The BunkerBoy's version of "Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe!"

[hatrack]

[R Merm]

66. you just made my day

[musclecar6]

29. Being the loser trash that he is

He just likes to surround himself with trash. With those two Mission accomplished.

[NRaleighLiberal]

32. spread absorbent sheets under the Ghoul for when he starts leaking oil

[Vivienne235729]

33. That's the best news all day!!!

[Fiendish Thingy]

35. The only two lawyers in the US willing to work for Trump. Nt

[MyOwnPeace]

36. With Donnie, Rudy, and Alan.....

What's their #1 concern?

DEPENDS.........

[GeorgeGist]

38. Perfect.

[Joinfortmill]

39. ROFL

[Totally Tunsie]

40. Could be another chilly summer on Martha's Vineyard

for Dershowitz. Brrrrrrr.

[Gothmog]

41. That would be amusing

[Cozmo]

42. Best laugh I've had all day

[volstork]

43. Good luck w that.

[BlueMTexpat]

44. They're the

legal version of the Keystone Kops!

[cab67]

46. Dershowitz will do it because he's a contrarian.

I'm sure he could make money from it as well, but if you listen to him on TV, you quickly realize that he's a contrarian. We see this all the time in academic circles - someone who really gets a jolt from figuring out what the consensus is, taking the opposing view, and getting a lot of attention for it.

I don't believe for a minute he thinks Trump is innocent of anything that happened this past Monday, but if saying something outrageous just to take a contrarian view will get him some publicity, he'll jump all over it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

48. One benefit of impeaching him: keeps him busy and out of other kinds of trouble. . . nt

[brush]

50. Nobody else will take such a shit job of defending a sick seditionist...

who fomented an attempted coup. And both of them are ineffectual clowns.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

51. Finally, I agree with Donald Trump. This is a great idea! NT

[SayItLoud]

52. It's going to be interesting;

who traitor tRUMP ends up pardoning. The Epstein situation is still on the burner and Dersh is certainly going to be involved in it...and not as a lawyer IMO. As a defendant. Rudy, he's in need of a very wide reaching pardon...and then there's the family and other at D Bank...on and on and on.

If he Fucks someone and doesn't give them a pardon they will sell him down the river. (I hope)

[birdographer]

53. OMG let's have Rudy

farting and dripping his way through an impeachment trial now. This will at least have a humor element. Might even get some repukes to vote to convict this time, just as revenge for making them waste their time with Rudy and Al.

[Paladin]

54. I want them all to wear clown suits. (nt)

[louis-t]

55. Good choice there, Beavis.

[JohnnyRingo]

56. Can't argue with Guiliani's track record.

You could laugh at it, but there's no argument.

[TNNurse]

57. I will say it again.

Rudy is the lawyer that Trump deserves.

[LeftInTX]

58. This would be amusing

I'm so stressed after Wednesday, that I need a pick me up!

[Evolve Dammit]

59. Rudy Colludy and "I had my underwear on" Dershbag. No words, nt

[DemoTex]

61. Rudy "Hands-in-Pants" and "I had my underwear on" Dershbag.

[Evolve Dammit]

[Tacan]

60. Release the Kraken!

[Kablooie]

64. Release the Kracked!

[weissmam]

63. Only the best

Laugh Laugh Laugh

[AC_Mem]

65. This...

tells us all we need to know. He literally has nobody else if he thinks that putting his case in the hands of these two is a good idea. I wouldn't hire them to represent me at traffic court for a $10 ticket!!!

[BHDem53]

67. The best people.

[marble falls]

68. A lot of money being thrown around.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

69. Pervs of a feather

[CountAllVotes]

70. WTF

Wasn't Giuliani in the hospital sick and dying w/COVID a couple of weeks ago?

How in the hell did he "manage" to recover so quickly or was he not really infected?

Lying POS!

[iluvtennis]

71. Good luck with these two morons as your advocates. nt

[still_one]

72. A match made in hell

Life WithOut Parole

[NBachers]

81. Cue the Three Stooges theme

[Tarc]

82. So...the one who thought he was unzipping in front of a 15 yr-old...

...and a regular at Epstein's mansion.

Trumpykins sure knows how to pick em.

[Nitram]

84. Sounds like the Dream Team for Failure. Go for it Donnie!
