President Donald Trump turned the Senate floor Monday into an alternate-reality impeachment of his political rivals: Joe Biden and Barack Obama.impeachment behind closed doors — a process now defined by whether they’ll agree to allow new witnesses to testify — his lawyers shed any pretense of persuading a band of centrist Republicans to side with the president and instead acted out a virtual prosecution of Trump’s top political nemeses.
at Democrats that seemed meant to fulfill Trump’s promise to make his critics pay during the Senate trial. Trump's team also took direct aim at Democrats' heavy reliance on the role of Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani in their case against the president. Democrats charged thataided Trump's pressure campaign in Ukraine by ginning up smears against an anti-corruption U.S. ambassador, Marie Yovanovitch, and prompting Trump to remove her.
Former Harvard law professor and noted criminal defense attorney Alan Dershowitz, another member of the president’s legal team, mentioned Bolton by name late Monday night as he was wrapping up his presentation — but it was the only direct reference to the former national security adviser all day. Trump attorney Patrick Philbin made the most concerted case against witnesses, but only made passing references without mentioning Bolton by name.
Paying them for accusing others....hehehe
That's their defense?
OK, so Biden and Obama, it's claimed, should be investigated but how does that fit with realDonaldTrump impeachment and HIM breaking the various laws?
No wonder the GOP Senate hasn’t passed legislation. They can’t stay on topic. They have allowed impeachment of tRump to morph into accusations against Obama/Biden. Where’s Justice Roberts in this farce? Is he powerless?
When r they going to stop blaming BarackObama for everything? He’s been out of office for over three years! realDonaldTrump let it go and admit ur faults. Come into the light.
They had all the time in the world to investigate Mr Obama and Mr Biden while the GOP held both House and Senate, and yet somehow never found it important enough at the time. Interesting.
Crazy stuff that is not right for the American people.
I hope she gets peed on by a goldenretriever for making blondes look stupid 😡
Actually, they just played all the mainstream media clips from when they reported on the shady Burisma dealings long before Biden announced his campaign. It’s notable that the media dropped it like a hot potato afterward.
That's like saying Alan Dershowitz should've been investigated for Klaus von Bulow's crimes. Or OJ's crimes. Or Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. Oh wait...
Did Bondi argue Obama made Trump commit fraud at Trump University too? Hubris.
They do know you cant impeach obama anymore right? And they also know doj can investigate anyone without congress right?
I disagree. Think they showed why President Trump would have legitimate reasons to ask Ukraine about corruption.
The only thing shining brighter than Pam’s disco sequins is her stupidity.
And the Russians are sitting back with their arms folded are laughing their heads off...
The very scholarly 'I know you are, but what am I' defense.
And you think Biden's non actions aren't worth investigating. His son just left the corrupt business April 2019.
OMG these people just love the twisting and tossing strategy game!
Whataboutism is all the GOP has left
OMG! When will you GOP BIGOTS get over Obama and Biden. What do you think you are to run Ukrains investigation? No excuse! Only lies!
Cheap Lawyers have NOTHING. They are like the Ant Constitution Republicans.
AlanDersh is no different than the rest of them, using 'context' to his benefit. If a president used quid pro quo to hold aid, that's not impeachable. Hey I agree with that, but he did it for HIS PERSONAL F*CKING BENEFIT, not the Country's. Keep it real, Alan. impeachment
You can’t Impeach Obama. He is not in office. So what are they talking about? Might as well talk about Jeter or Kobe. Interesting, important, but not relevant to the task at hand.
Accurate. Obama spied on trump and Biden got half his family rich
thanks for passing along what the liars are saying
Even if Biden and Obama did something wrong would that justify Trump doing something wrong? If one guy robs a bank it's okay if another guy robs a bank?
FINALLY we can Impeach a former President and Vice President. Because HUH!?!
All for an audience of one.
25kBondi. She is my new favorite soulless trump toady,
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Whataboutism
Good speech at the wrong trial.
Americans why liberty is guaranteed in the Constitution, and take concrete steps to take back our country. The American people have never sat idle when liberty's trumpet sounds the call to battle -- and today that battle is for the soul of America
Trukps talking points for how many years?
Bondi lecturing on corruption? That’s sad. She knows corruption and Lev.
Idiots
That's rich. Biden and Obama aren't sitting in the Oval Office extorting Congressionally-approved aid from Ukraine. 🙄
No diggity
You could forget it was Trump who was on trial.
They've made it clear that they had to impeach Trump to win in 2020 so they created their own alternate reality. The TV liberals are claiming that Obama should have been impeached for his 7 illegal gao reports while not one complained while Obama was in office.
Republicans lawyers showed how Obama was doing the same thing as all presidents have. They showed how corrupt Biden was and why he needed to be investigated.. Democrats DON'T want to believe the truth..
Beam them up Scottie !
Pls after. The election I will have more flexibility . Biden fire prosecutor or no money . Then biden helps appoint a person with no law degrees as highest prosecutor and Ukraine never recovers assets and we are out millions
That’s an indication that the trial is starting to sting. He always tries to flip the narrative when he lashes out. Problem is that he has gone to that well one to many times.
The Sleaze Team
Hey, , did I see a headline about 21 hours of Biden love last week? I thought not. Over 400 mentions of Uncle Creepy and Creepy Jr.
not one character witness to come before the Senate and attest that the president isn't capable of doing what's alleged against him. not one. why's that?
It's the only thing you can do when trying to defend the undefendable
Who could've predicted electing somebody with a string of failures and bankruptcies in business, a yawning deficit of policy expertise and knowledge of institutions, an extraordinary ignorance of world history and a litany of scams would prove so disastrous?
Um yeah, his political rivals are liars and crooks.
Another words trumps defense team went in and blatantly lied to the Senate, I thought lying to the Senate was a crime?
Who wrote this defense,TRUMP Now Trump has his legal team distracting & blowing smoke Spent 10 hours talking about last 30 years & presidents This was about truth or innocence Trump/Call/Aide Trump legal Team~Obama/Clinton(Both Presidency) Kerry/son/college,Hillary,Nixon, Bush
Theatre of the absurd.
Stop amplifying stupidity.
The GOP is officially dis-fucking-gusting!!!! My god what slime!!! Not one honest bone in the whole lot!!!
Don’t start none won’t be none, snowflakes!
If you listened to Pam Bondi and thought it was an “alternate reality”, I suggest you get your head checked and receive medication for your severe TDS.
LOL! The Dems have been living in an alternate-reality for 3 years now.
WARNING: Nominating the following is political suicide. JoeBiden can't beat Trump on CORRUPTION & BOTH deported MILLIONS OF LATINOS. ElizabethWarren the elite Ivy League CHEROKEE can't beat Trump on IDENTITY POLITICS. PeteButtigieg w/ 0% BLACK SUPPORT can't be the nominee.
Masterful
