GOP snow job, as seen in the Trump claim Democrats want ballots torn up and overturning 2016- forgetting 2016 was a fraudulent election to begin with
Where do these guys come from ? I.e. do they really want America to believe that Trump was legitimately elected in 2016?
The answer is, HELL NO. Trump is illegally occupying the US POTUS office. It was given to him by Vladimir PUTIN
All those whom revere the office of the presidency, and whom want to defend the office of the Presidency and the US Constitution from all enemies, domestic and foreign, should be appalled at this GOP Snow job
FTR
I.e. rage attacks are fine with Trump's lawyers. Mafia style threats against Yovonovitch are fine too, so long as Trump's base hears happy news that he will have his PUTIN squad rig a few more states again as he did in 2016, even if he loses the Popular vote by 5 million in 2020.
Meanwhile the agony of the USA and the shredding of the US Constitution goes on and on

President Trump’s lawyers began their opening arguments in the impeachment trial on Saturday, accusing Democrats of asking senators to “tear up” the ballots of the upcoming election while having “no evidence” to support the president’s removal from office.
White House counsel Pat Cipollone indicated to senators that Saturday’s arguments would seek to directly rebut the evidence presented by Democratic impeachment managers the previous three days. He also sought to portray the consequences of impeaching Trump in grave terms.
“They’re asking you not only to overturn the results of the last election but, as I’ve said before, they’re asking you to remove President Trump from the ballot in an election that’s occurring in approximately nine months,” Cipollone said. “I don’t think they spent one minute of their 24 hours talking to you about the consequences of that for our country.”
The president's defense team has 24 hours over three days to make its arguments. While Democrats used nearly the full time allotted for their opening arguments this week, Cipollone said he did not expect the defense to do the same and that their presentations would be “efficient.”
“We don’t believe that they have come anywhere close to meeting their burden for what they’re asking you to do,” he said. “In fact, we believe that when you hear the facts.. you will find that the president did absolutely nothing wrong.”
Cipollone began Saturday’s proceedings by reading directly from the transcript of Trump’s July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, claiming Democrats misrepresented it, including by ignoring portions that showed Trump cares about burden sharing.
The attorneys quickly showed a clip of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif) reading a parody account of the call, claiming it was “fake” – an early indication they would focus on criticizing Democrats in an effort to drive home their claim that the impeachment inquiry was motivated by partisan interests.
The use of the clip is likely to satisfy Trump. The president spent the days after Schiff made the comments calling for the congressman’s resignation and suggesting he committed treason. Even months after the September hearing, Trump continues to bring up Schiff’s comments in interviews when railing against the impeachment proceedings.
Trump in his call with Zelensky asked the foreign leader to investigate a debunked theory about 2016 election interference and to probe Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s dealings in Ukraine. The call triggered a rare intelligence community whistleblower complaint claiming that Trump solicited foreign interference in a U.S. election, with the complaint being a key piece of evidence in the Democrats’ impeachment case.
A rough transcript of the call was released by the White House in September after the existence of the whistleblower complaint became known.
House Democrats allege that Trump withheld a White House meeting and security assistance from Ukraine in order to press for investigations into his political rivals.
Trump's attorneys used Saturday's arguments to argue that Trump withheld the military aid out of concerns for burden sharing and corruption, and that he didn't tie the assistance to the investigations.
Trump's lawyers are expected to continue their arguments on Monday.

First of all, recall what I said in a prior Pulse article, just before this one:

The Audio of Trump's deadly threat made against Marie Yovanovitch, and why Romney and other GOP Senators are too scared to confront Trump over it
Quote
Late on Friday night, ABC News released an audio recording reportedly documenting President Donald Trump ordering associates to “take out” then-Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.
“A recording obtained by ABC News appears to capture President Donald Trump telling associates he wanted the then-U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch fired while speaking at a small gathering that included Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman — two former business associates of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani who have since been indicted in New York,” ABC News reported.
“The recording appears to contradict statements by Trump and support the narrative that has been offered by Parnas during broadcast interviews in recent days. Sources familiar with the recording said the recording was made during an intimate April 30, 2018, dinner at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.,” the network said.
On the tape, there is a voice that appears to be Trump.
“Get rid of her!” the voice says “Get her out tomorrow. I don’t care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. OK? Do it.”

Also why do the GOP cowards refuse to confront TRUMP over this MAFIA behavior ?
It is simple. They APPROVE OF IT being done to Marie Yovanovitch so long as it is not done to themselves. i.e. it is that simple.
The Christian Admonition of " Do unto other as you would want to be done to you " is now the TRUMP WORLD " Do unto others what you want as long as it is not done to me, Boss Trump"
This is profiles in Cowardice

Republican impeachment conduct ripped by ex-GOP lawmaker: ‘They celebrate the corrupt president with a vengeance’
Published 1 min ago on January 25, 2020
Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday morning, former Rep., Dave Jolly (R-FL) scorched his former colleagues over the way they are approaching the impeachment of Donald Trump, saying they have shirked their duties and are “embracing corruption.”
In an extended diatribe, while speaking with host Ali Velshi, Jolly was unsparing when talking about the current Republican Party.
“The founders expected truth as a currency would somehow always win out but we are not living in that era,” he began. “To your question about the Republican Party, are we watching the death of it? I really believe we are. It is an interesting place as the nation watches the impeachment hearing to be a life long Republican recently having left the party watching this. There is a solemnness to watching a party you once knew now be completely devoid of honor.”
“There is no honor in today’s Republican Party,” he repeated. “We have a corrupt president, we know it by his own confessions. Just in the matter of Ukraine, in trying to obstruct justice with Mueller. We have a corrupt president and where the party has veered is that they celebrate the corrupt president. It is not that they merely support him, they are celebrating him almost with a vengeance.”
“What we are watching is the GOP leadership in the nation advancing essentially the second article of impeachment,” he continued. “There is no honor of obstructing accountability of someone who has committed wrongdoing and it is what we are seeing in the Republican Party.”

Just as the impeachment trial of Donald Trump was about to kick off, Donald Trump tweeted out an attack at the leadership of the Democratic Party — as well as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez by calling her “dumb as a rock” — and urged his followers to watch the trial on various news outlets, including “Fake News @CNN or Fake News MSDNC!”
As the president wrote in a frantic tweet, ” Our case against lyin’, cheatin’, liddle’ Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, Nervous Nancy Pelosi, their leader, dumb as a rock AOC, & the entire Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrat Party, starts today at 10:00 A.M. on
@FoxNews, @OANN or Fake News @CNN or Fake News MSDNC!”
As one commenter pointed out, “You sound like an escaped mental patient.”
