The email announcing Trump's legal team contains some clues about his legal defense:
Email Subject: "45th President Donald J. Trump Announces Legal Team."
"45th President Donald J. Trump today announced that highly respected trial lawyers David Schoen and Bruce L. Castor, Jr., will head his impeachment defense legal team, bringing national profiles and significant trial experience in high-profile cases to the effort."
"Notably, Schoen has already been working with the 45th President and other advisors to prepare for the upcoming trial, and both Schoen and Castor agree that this impeachment is unconstitutional - a fact 45 Senators voted in agreement with last week."
The third sentence, which was a quote from Schoen: "'It is an honor to represent the 45th President, Donald J. Trump, and the United States Constitution,' said Schoen."
Question for my readers: Which phrase is unnecessarily repeated several times in this email announcement? Why it is the constant reminder that Trump was the 45th President of the United States.
While it's possible that Schoen and Castor convinced Trump that they couldn't argue the election fraud lie in front of the United States Senate, Trump may very well have forbidden his attorneys from mentioning he is no longer President.
Now some background on Trump's new attorneys.
Attorney Schoen met with Jeffrey Epstein for five hours while in prison. Epstein was interested in hiring Schoen to be part of his criminal defense team. Epstein later decided to take the position, but before he could formalize his representation of Epstein, the convicted pedophile took his own life. Schoen though believes Epstein was instead murdered.
Meanwhile, Castor is famous infamous for, as Montgomery County (Pennsylvania) prosecutor, refusing to prosecute comedian Bill Cosby. Castor later testified he promised Cosby he would never be charged criminally in exchange for Cosby testifying in a civil lawsuit. That testimony was later used to charge and convict Cosby in 2018. Castor later settled a defamation lawsuit filed by Cosby victim Andrea Constand over negative comments he made about Constand's credibility when he explained why he failed to charge Cosby.
OOP's short takes;
- Former Grifter-in-Chief and cult leader Donald Trump continues to fleece his followers for political contributions. Trump's ironically named leadership PAC "Save America" raised $30 million in the final weeks of 2020 as he continued to spout the nonsense about the "stolen election."

It is a measure of your credulity that you actually think that Epstein killed himself. Why not go back to lawyering as your brains were
not nearly so cabbage like? It occurs to me, and perhaps to others, that were Trump to cease existence you would find yourself with
nothing to say. What you say about Trump is usually just offal garbage anyhow of no value but to your fewer and fewer running dogs who like to eat that stuff up.
I know it will be tough to do, Leon, but isn't it time to finally accept the fact that Trump his entire life has been a con man and that Trumpers like you were just his latest marks? No one on the planet is a bigger RINO than the lifelong Democrat Donald Trump, who enthusiastically supported Planned Parenthood, partial birth abortion and amnesty, and who only pretended to be Republican to get the GOP nomination. It's time for the Trump cult members to put down the Kool-Aid and rejoin reality.
