Time to cut the ****. See this Trumpies-i.e. the Trump attorneys have no facts, only lies to defend Trump in this rigged trial, and you know it.
What does it take, Trumpies, to get it that supporting the lies only makes you look deficient in the full sense of the word? And do not give me that excuse that the "I am only following orders" as of Nazi Neuremberg trial fame will get your senators off , if they acquit Trump. Goering of the Nazis was sentenced to death, in spite of the fake excuse of "I was only following orders", as where others. While in this case Trump will NOT face any ultimate penalty of the sort Goering, and Ribbetrop and others of the NAZI elite faced, after conviction, the fact remains that YOUR senators will NOT get away from responsibility of whitewashing an obviously guilty person, Trump, on the basis of political expediency

‘Stop lying’: Experts and observers discredit Trump attorney’s impeachment defense with readily available facts
Published 4 hours ago on January 26, 2020
By David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement
After three days of House impeachment managers’ brilliant prosecution of President Donald Trump – and “prebuttal” of the arguments the president’s team was expected to make – White House attorneys Saturday morning began their defense of President Trump.
It’s not going well.
Deputy White House Counsel Mike Purpura (photo) has been making the majority of today’s arguments – they have decided that not enough people will be watching on TV so Saturday’s defense will last not eight but just two hours.
Purpura is not doing a good job – unless his job is to lie to U.S. Senators and the American people.
Republican Senators are likely glad to hear yet again the lies spread on Fox News by the White House and its allies, but the American people know better. They know they are lies, and they were only too happy to discredit and debunk them in real time moments after Purpura uttered them on the Senate floor.
It doesn’t take an expert (or a blue check mark from Twitter) to understand facts in this case. In fact, the House’s delay in transmitting the Articles of Impeachment gave the American people more time to digest what they had learned during the impeachment inquiry.
And the American people are very well versed in what facts are – and what the facts in this case are. The president’s attorneys think they can gaslight the America people. Clearly they are wrong.
Take a look.

Dear Mike Purpura. It was not an actual transcript. That's what Trump called it. You sir, are already lying.

Purpura is once again lying about the public record.
The public record clearly shows that Ukraine did know aid was being withheld as early as late July: https://www.

Ukraine Knew of Aid Freeze by Early August, Undermining Trump Defense
Top officials were told in early August about the delay of $391 million in security assistance, undercutting a chief argument President Trump has used to deny any quid pro quo.

Just to help out my Senator, Purpura is lying about Ukraine not knowing about the hold on the aid until late August, they knew it weeks before that. @senrobportman
