Bruce Castor (Trump's new lead defense attorney) is an idiot.

This guy. Oh my God.

His arguments are...well...absurd. And that's being very, very kind. In the future, law students doing mock hearings will say, "OK, so I was bad...but I wasn't Bruce Castor bad, was I?"

I really think he must have just died inside when he realized he needed to try to fill 16 hours of his filibuster.

I have a feeling that more threads like this one will be necessary to say the same about the other clowns on Trump's team.

Well, not to be outdone, David Schoen is now essentially arguing that it's bad that the democrats prepared for this trial.

They're now showing video of people saying Trump should be impeached. I'm not kidding. This is Trump's defense team.

Can Shoen speak without swaying side to side, or by keeping his tongue in his mouth? Are those legal distractions? He reminds me of Rudy. He's nervous.

I've seen guys like this before. More times than not, they're people used to litigating via mail or conference room. They're not trial lawyers. It's painfully obvious they have no experience in actual trial law.

When a lawyer says, "or so the argument goes" like Schoen just did, they are NOT a trial lawyer.

Well, maybe public defender in a DUI trial, but that's about the limit.

I find it hilarious he has to touch his head when he drinks water.

Edit:
Someone beat me to it in another thread (and realizing now this is not the guy in the title that I am talking about).

Sure, trump’s lawyers are terrible but he doesn’t need good lawyers to get acquitted.

While it may be difficult to defend the indefensible, in this case, it’s not necessary. The verdict is already in.

Maybe you should help them out. They obviously need a good lawyer.

I recommend you get a big retainer and wait for the cheque to cash before doing anything though.

You know you are in trouble when your defense lawyer stands up and says he's the lead prosecutor.

Trump's impeachment lawyers have a history of being involved in controversial legal matters

The new lawyers who signed on to lead former President Donald Trump's impeachment defense team brought a curious history of experience with them as they defended the former President on Tuesday during the first day of his second Senate trial.
