There's no wild cards when you know how everybody is going to vote.

The crazy never stops. This is what happens when a lunatic and his henchmen get any kind of power.

[danielshortland]

This is a trial where the jurors, judges, victims, witnesses and potential accomplices are all the same people, and the location of the trial is also the crime scene. The conflicts of interest are almost endless.

[billwalsh]

It's a challenge to get a conviction when many of the jurors are co-conspiritors.

[hagnuj]

A trial being held where the crime scene is the courtroom. Priceless.

[martinraeside]

You don't normally get to have any accomplices on the jury

[davidhatch]

They’re arguing that a POTUS could do whatever they want in the final week of office because there’s not enough time to hold them accountable

Why would anyone want to work for him, he doesn't pay his bills

Wishing everyone here good health and happiness! ❤️🎉

Milioners in Congress and Senate losing on stocks market because Game Stop.

Surely a Stable Genius can handle his own defense..

[chihchang]

doesn't matter how low, there will always be an attorney to take your money

[lastmanstanding]

Even if 45 admitted he did it the ANON/GOP party wouldn't convict him. They're looking for reelection the hell with this country.

[raivanframpton]

Their argument the first time was you cannot convict a sitting president and now it's that he shouldn't be convinced because he is no longer in office. 🤔

[shankysays]

A trial where jury has already told everyone they are gonna say not guilty.

[scotchbarrel]

Democrats should subpoena the old defense team, and ask them why they decided to withdraw.

[louiswilson]

No Unity Without Truth, Truth & Trust !

[jeffperteet]

Convict the sociopath con man, so we don't ever have to deal with his instability ever again!

[winterbird]

His defense does not matter. He can might as well just stand there and say «cuckoo cuckoo» and republicans will not convict anyway.

[abrahamtan]

If it's possible, lock trump up and melt the key away.
