What kind of defense do you think he’ll present? With all the mounting evidence, I can’t imagine what he will do to defend trump’s actions.
Any legal peas willing to present what type of defense you’d offer? Not that you support trump’s actions by any means, I’m just curious what any reputable attorney would do. I guess reputable is probably a moot point, as I’m sure most reputable attorneys wouldn’t touch his case with a million foot pole!

He will claim he has free speech.
He cannot control what others do. They were adults. They chose to act illegally. He will repeat that he told them(too late btw) to be peaceful.

Just the fact he held a huge “stop the steal” rally after election results were finalized should be illegal in of itself.

It will be the same old “I didn’t say what I said, and if I did I didn’t mean it like that”. Wash, rinse, repeat of the last 4 years... scratch that... 6 at least.

He will blame everyone but himself.

His defense does not have to be rational. He just has to rile up his base and the Republicans in the Senate will vote how they need to vote to stay in office. This is not about right or wrong, or what is provable, but making the Republicans nervous enough about getting re-elected to support him.

Some variation of this. I will be shocked if he is convicted. R Senators are afraid of his base. Thank heaven he will have legal problems in NY and money problems too. These will hopefully prevent him from running again. Yes, I’m being mean, but I believe that Trump is too dangerous to ever occupy that office again. |

Yes, pretending this is an impartial jury or anything like a real trial is silly. The votes will likely be on party lines and the Orange Menace will have no consequences. Lord, how I would love to see him have to testify though, I would love to see him eviscerated by some of the Dems. I know he won’t be testifying, but wouldn’t it be fun to watch? |

If I could just once see Donald Trump on the witness stand, I could die a happy woman.

His defense - I was just joking or I didn’t really mean that.

I know it won't happen, but my opinion is he should plead insanity! Wouldn't that be a hoot! And it may even be the truth......

I think he might plead "covid brain" impairment, and then blame every person in the administration that could have stopped his obviously unwell actions.

This is not about right or wrong, or what is provable, but making the Republicans nervous enough about getting re-elected to support him. Unfortunately, I think you're right. This is exactly what will happen. My only hope is that there will so much incriminating stuff to come out of this, that his political future will be destroyed. |

Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff that will incriminate him is exactly what his terrorist base wants to hear. |

How will he defend his decision NOT to send in help after he knew the Senate and House were in danger? What about backing the blue? I have had such a nice 3.5 days of the new administration, I really don't want to hear about trump again.
