That was not always the case in Washington.
We love you Mr. President

Former President Donald Trump has added two former federal prosecutors to his impeachment defense team, according to one of the lawyers.
Greg Harris told the Associated Press that he and former acting U.S. Attorney Johnny Gasser were added to the team.
A call to the private practice the men co-founded wasn’t immediately returned, nor were emailed inquiries.
Harris was a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina, specializing in the prosecution of white-collar crimes. His biography says he views the experience as one that helps him obtain the best results for the clients he now represents as a defense lawyer.
Gasser was part of the same office for years, taking over at one point as the acting head. He prosecuted thousands of criminal cases in his time in state and federal government. He left the government in 2007 to form the Law Office of Harris & Gasser with Harris.
Harris and Gasser join former prosecutor Deborah Barbier and lawyer Butch Bowers on the impeachment defense team. Bowers, who has been referred to as the “anchor” of the team, said this week that “you’ll see our case when we present it, and I think the facts and the law will speak for themselves.”
North Carolina attorney Josh Howard also said this week he is part of the team.
Howard said in a court filing obtained by The Epoch Times said that he “has accepted a position on the defense team handling the pending impeachment trial of former President Trump before the United States Senate.”
“As such, counsel is obliged to spend roughly then [sic] next month in Washington, D.C. focused entirely and exclusively on that matter of historical and Constitutional significance,” the filing stated.

This will be unending. Impeach, charge with tax evasion, charge with this, charge with that.
It makes the Dem base happy, and keeps their minds off of how badly they are about to be screwed.
Crap like this makes me wish there WAS some type of plan (not currently known to the public) for the military to kick the entire corrupt system out on its butt.
That was not always the case in Washington.
We love you Mr. President
I wonder if PDJT kicked to the curb the attorney he hired who was recommended by Lindsey Graham.
I wonder if Jay Sekulow or Pam Bondi are on the team.
Love it!
Back around 2016, people chanted “Lock her up” and people talked about Obama’s birth certificate and other things. But one of the core questions was — “Are we the sort of country that puts politicians on trial? Do we persecute the political opposition as soon as they leave office? Would we ever really be so bold as to put Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama behind bars?”
Some of us certainly engaged in wishful thinking, but I think a lot of people just said, “It will never happen. We’re not like that.”
But now the shoe is on the other foot. I sense no trepidation of any kind. Get him! Get him! Get him! Hound that guy! Lawfare him to death! His family too! Put them all in jail! They actually wanted to make this country great! Make them suffer!
All in favor of a military coup and a new election (conducted by military), say “aye” . Tired of this crap.
He has the BEST wink!
45 senators already went on record saying it’s a sham impeachment so they don’t have the votes anyway. It’s a waste of time
Time to start praying for his new attorneys. No doubt the left has already started the process of doxing, canceling and other forms of domestic terrorism...
Help me here.
If the chief justice doesn’t show up, why should president Trump show up (defense team)?
This trail is/would be a farce.
The Donald should send a video to the the Senate with a smile and these words:. Go and reproduce asexually.

I hope that Greg Harris and Johnny Gasser are at or near retirement age, because the Left has just cancelled the rest of their careers.
You are correct. Harris’s head is already on the block.

Trial.

So they are going to turn the tables and prosecute the House prosecutors.
I think he WANTS this trial. He has a lot of stuff to bring out to where the public will see it. So with so many eyes on the faux ‘peachment, let it ALL hang out!
Since Donald J. Trump (POTUS in Exile) is now a Private Citizen, who is paying for his Sham Impeachment Defense Lawyers?
It had better be our out of control Federal Government.
You can bet, all the Attorney’s and workers of DONALD J. TRUMP so called trial will be lodged and staying at the TRUMP, D.C. HOTEL IN WASHINGTON, D.C. and they will be treated royally and with dignity and respect...
AND LIBERALS WILL CRY US A RIVER, COMPLAINING, as usual...
