No delays on the trial. He has enough time, Feb 8th. We will not let trump and the republicans try

to destroy what needs to be done

1. It is not our fault he can't find attorneys to represent him,

He has lied to, stiffed, refused to pay and fired almost every attorney that has ever tried to represent him.

If his own actions have come back to bite him in his ample ass, it is NOT OUR FAULT!

There should not be a SANE lawyer or attorney in this country who would want to try to defend this lousy POS. (Apologies to shit)

2. Yes!!!

3. He is required representation like anyone else on trial

A public defender should be immediately given. Trial can proceed. Oh and before anyone says but time is needed to learn the case. That’s not how real life is. A public defender is often given hours before going in front of a jury.

5. His public defender should be right out of law school, yesterday!

6. and remember, this is not trial like a fucking misdemeanor...

this is impeachment.

7. Not sure it applies in this case. This is not a criminal proceeding but a constitutional one

"It is not a criminal proceeding but a constitutional one reserved to the legislative branch of the federal government. An individual who is facing impeachment is not facing prison or financial penalties as a result of the proceeding itself but rather removal from office and a potential ban from future office-holding.

I don't think they use a public defender in this case.

8. So, how many

Scaramucci minutes did these last five last? If Trump fired them, how long would a public defender be required to last?

If he doesn't want an attorney, let him defend himself. He's a master at twisting things; I wouldn't be surprised if that was his strategy.

4. He'll always have Lin, Rudy, and Sydney
