Talk about not hitting the ball, Trump defense lawyer Bruce Castor isn’t even in the park. He’s not even at the taco stand off the freeway. The man totally got lost on his way to the stadium and it shows. Even Alan Dershowitz, who spearheaded Trump’s first impeachment trial, says that Castor has no argument. Ouch. About the only thing worse than that would be saying that a better choice for Trump’s lead counsel would have been Rudy Giuliani.

Now hone in on this for just a moment. Dershowitz is on Newsmax, which means that he’s got carte blanche to do his best insanity and even he can’t find a bone to chew on, let alone any flesh in Castor’s argument. And he’s right. There is not only no constitutional argument, there doesn’t seem to be any legal argument, period. The substance, if you will, of what he said was that the impeachment trial of Trump was nothing more than an emotionally driven partisan response to the storming of the Capitol — like there is no principle of law involved here, in mayhem, death, destruction of property, insurrection, only something called partisan emotion.

“The political pendulum will shift one day,” he said. “And partisan impeachments will become commonplace.”

Then he went on to tell personal stories and shower praise on the “extraordinary” and “gallant” people of the United States Senate.

But his argument is genius compared to when you get to co-counsel David Schoen. Not only does Schoen ramble about nonsense, he then goes on to threaten civil war — or something. This is sheer gibberish. This is incomprehensible.

The “interpretation of the constitution is a product of words.” Whud he say? And then he goes on to talk about “blood sport??”

Schoen and Castor are also the best Trump could get. All the A through D listers said no. This is the Z-list.

  1. It’s like Trump had Ghouliani as his lawyer and someone said to him, ‘You can’t do worse than him. he must be the worst lawyer in the world’. So Trump said ‘Here, hold my beer, I’ll show you!’

    And then did.

    • I will say this, there’s not much of an argument to be made. So these guys are going to look bad just on the face of it all. They took the job, I guess, for money or maybe they like being the new legal stars of Wingnuttia, who knows?

  2. I sat and watxched it live (stream from CNN) and I’m still trying to work out just what Schoen was talking about (apart from that awful recitation on the death of Lincoln)

  4. Why do GOP senators still have their lips firmly suckered on Trump’s ring? Why do they have no morals; no courage?
    Democrats are offering a half decent minimum wage, healthcare, a green deal, not bowing to Putin.
    GOP are offering no minimum wage, no healthcare, more fossil fuel and sucking up to Putin. Plus the same old everyone has the opportunity to be a billionaiire, you shouldn’t pay for other people’s healthcare – and buy some more guns. Democrats do not need a supreme leader. GOP does because that’s all they have to offer – a con-man, failed busiiness man and former reality show host. Now former President.

  5. I don’t know but to me Shoen has a Jewish sound. Wouldn’t think he would be mixing it up with Nazi sympathizers. Then again trumps money is good as next one. As long as you got your fee upfront.
