Since the inauguration?

Since the election!

Since before the election!

The Division Operations Officer, Lt. Col. Harry Kinnard recalled that McAulliffe initially asked, “They want to surrender?” Moore told him, “No sir, they want us to surrender.” McAulliffe arose and erupted in anger, which shocked those looking on. He took the paper, looked at it, said “Us surrender, aw nuts!” and dropped it on the floor. Maj. Jones was dismissed. McAulliffe then left the Headquarters to go congratulate a unit on the Western perimeter that had successfully taken out a German road block earlier that morning.

That's good

But going medieval on them would be better.

There’s more here. They don’t refer to aquitted, or found not guilty. They specify the articles must be rejected by the Senate.
I believe this has meaning beyond just exonerating Pres. Trump.

As this letter points out the articles of impeachment don’t name any crime at all. With no accusation of a crime being committed what is there to exonerate Pres. Trump of?

This is the dumbest, lamest argument a competent attorney could come up with.

I am severely disappointed.

“That letter will go down in history.”

Yeah, as a testament to incompetent lawyers.

The dems really killed themselves on this. Shif’s falsified reading of the call transcript was adolescent, probably illegal, and turned scrutiny onto himself.

Then they denied cross examination, legal counsel and equal time by the minority. They also ran interference for the whistleblower, who entered false testimony and had a spook change the form to allow hearsay.

This whole thing is Junior High School level pranking, and after this is over, the standard for impeachment needs to be brought back up to legit levels.

I just read the whole thing - perfect response and tossed in a few lies by the “prosecution” and attempts to cover up that they knew what they were trying had no legal basis.

Clear, concise and in plain English...

Before I got to page 3 I knew Sekulow wrote it. It's his language, his "get straight to the point and state the facts" nature. I smiled when I got to the last page and saw his name.

He's going to tear the Democrats to shreds.
