Collins and Mutkowski just nailed Trump's attorneys with a "When did he know and what did he do"

[StarfishSaver]

question.

And his attorneys are actually claiming that the House managers didn't tell them, so they don't know.

Wow.

[global1]

1. He's Not Answering The Question....

seems like he completely misinterpreted it.

[StarfishSaver]

9. I don't think he misinterpreted it. He couldn't or didn't want to answer it.

Either their preparation was so lame, they never discussed this basic, essential detail with their client or they had the answer but knew the answer would incriminate him further, so he claimed the House managers didn't tell him.

2. Yes, that was excellent. Nt

[C_U_L8R]

3. I don't know how any but the most corrupt could get behind that answer

They totally evaded the question and revealed they don't have the simplest grasp of the events.

[malaise]

4. That was stunning

Due process my ass - he must know what time he heard about the breach

[DLCWIdem]

5. Yep. I just made a similar thread

[Peacetrain]

6. Oh my God.. you are kidding me!

[RussBLib]

7. How about those several calls asking to deploy the NatGuard?

Have a phone record? When were those requests made?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. Seriously, that was the answer? (I had to quit watching, to protect the tv machine).

[StarfishSaver]

10. Serious as a heart attack

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. That's an incredible strategy -- if the House doesn't tell it, the evidence doesn't exist.

[Dawgman49]

11. Good question..pathetic non response

Blame the Dems

[StarfishSaver]

12. Blame the Dems for not giving them information that would have had to come from their client

[pnwmom]

14. The client they had advised not to testify at the hearing. n/t

[MoonlitKnight]

13. That was a good time for....

The Democrats to submit the question “would you like to respond to the defense’s previous answer?”

15. K&R, the lawyer LITERALLY said the House Managers didn't investigate it so he doesn't know !!

[wiggs]

17. choreographed kabuki theater. Up to 16 gop senators will be allowed to be 'concerned' enough

to vote for conviction to protect themselves politically. the rest will be told to vote against regardless of evidence and regardless of the number of constituents who would want conviction. The 16 may also include those retiring and not worried about other office.

Highly doubtful that McConnell and RNC and TPTB would leave this vote up to individual senators exercising their discretion and voting their consciences.
