      "I was impeached in a very bitter partisan witch hunt, yet exonerated" plays better.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Or the Senate can vote to acquit. That works, too.

          “The swamp tried to get rid of me, but I fought them and won!” Works well too.

          Admit it, you’re actually working for the Trump campaign and just saying this stuff to make liberals look bad.

                Yes. Trump is also a very expensive asset. Is he good value for money?
                As President Trump faces mounting legal bills from his impeachment trial, he is drawing on national party coffers flush with donations from energized supporters — unlike the last president to be impeached who left the White House “dead broke.”


                The Republican National Committee is picking up the tab for at least two of Trump’s private attorneys in the ongoing trial, an arrangement that differs from the legal fund then-president Bill Clinton set up, only to see it fail to raise enough to cover his millions of dollars in bills before he left office.

                • Sneaky Snake Schiff just delivered a steaming pile of hooey blaming the Republicans for everything, justifying everything the Dems have done, then accidentally slipped and said "the investigation is over....", yet still wants the Senate to do the investigation the House screwed up so badly.

                  I heard that even his momma went and hid under her bed, and is thinking about changing her name!

                    Well, that and a pen with Nancy Pelosi in gold on it.

                    And IIRC the taxpayers shelled out something like $2000 for each pen.

                    I'm always still in trouble again

                      • An extraordinary presentation by the Trump's A-Team. I think they demolished the prosecution's argument in about half the time it took the prosecution to present it!

                          I think he should have saved the Democrat montage for last.

                              Please try to be much, much, much more respectful when you mention the heroic Schiff.
                              Tweb readers thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
