A little less than two weeks before the start of President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial, five of the lawyers from his legal team resigned.
The legal team’s lead, South Carolina lawyer Butch Bowers, will no longer be working on the trial. Others, including fellow South Carolina lawyer Deborah Barbier, and prospective North Carolina lawyer Josh Howard, are also out. Two other lawyers, Johnny Gasser and Greg Harris, both from South Carolina, have also departed, The Hill reported.
According to POLITICO, Bowers’ departure was part of a “mutual” agreement between the lead attorney and the president. Bowers was responsible for assembling Trump’s impeachment team.
The reason for the last minute shakeup has to do with legal arguments that will be made in front of the Senate. President Trump reportedly wants to focus on mass election fraud he says took place in the 2020 election. The impeachment team, however, wanted to focus on the constitutional issues surrounding impeaching a former president, CNN reported.
IF the impeachment is solely charging him with calling for violence on the 6th, he should defend himself with the total lack of evidence of that and add that impeachment is only for a sitting president, and he is not.
as he has 5 on his side in the Senate from the Dem side, when a 2/3 majority vote to impeach, why bring up the voter fraud and piss off insulting the 5 Dems he has?
That’s a trial for down the road as primaries approach in a year and a half or before.
Mu two cents…
