CNN: Trump considering Giuliani and Dershowitz for impeachment defense team

[Leghorn21]

President Donald Trump is considering having Rudy Giuliani and Alan Dershowitz defend him if he faces another impeachment trial, two sources familiar with the matter said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday Democrats are prepared to move forward with impeachment next week if Trump doesn't resign, and Trump is beginning to mull who would represent him in a Senate trial.

Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, is expected to represent him, the sources said, and Trump is also considering hiring Dershowitz, a controversial attorney.

Dershowitz declined to comment to CNN, saying, "I don't talk to CNN, I sue them." But he told Politico on Friday that it would be his "honor and privilege" to defend the President.

1. Giuliani is senile but is

Dershowitz still a competent lawyer?

[Chicago1980]

2. Lol...

Might as well have used Jeff Daniels and Jim Carey.

3. Grab the popcorn.

4. The orange idiot doesn't know how impeachment works after all this time?

You don't lawyer up for impeachment "defense". You fucking moron.

[NCjack]

5. Trump, don't be a fool. Sign contracts with those two guys NOW,

before some other criminal comes along and snaps them up. Carpe diem.

[Jlz]

6. Both are has-beens.

I hope they do! With co-counsels Sidney and Jenna.

Giuliani's deficiencies are well known.

Dershowitz lost his reputation when it was revealed he received "massages" from Jeffrey Epstein's sex slaves and claimed as a defense that he "kept [his] underpants on".

This should be interesting and cringe worthy.

7. Slam dunk...

for the government then. Ghouliani will be too busy wiping sweat and hair dye off his melon-head, and Dershowitz will be too busy showing everyone his "impressive " credentials.

CONVICTED !

9. Oh boy Team Beavis & Butthead to the rescue

Those two clowns are hellbent on going down with the Trump Titanic.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. In the end Douche-wit will find a way to say so sorry! Can't make it.

Have to get my cat's teeth cleaned that morning and the TV dish guy is scheduled for the afternoon. No way he's spending more than 5 minutes on a team with Rewwwdi.

The Ghoul will be an absolute RIOT to watch.

[OhNo-Really]

13. I'm sure they are at the front of the long line of reputable lawyers wanting to defend a has been

[Cha]

14. Aren't they perverts?

[Buns_of_Fire]

15. Impeachment doesn't carry the death penalty, BUT

with these two on "the team," we may witness a first.

[tinrobot]

16. Hire your accomplice in the crime as your lawyer? Yeah, that'll work.

Please proceed.

[Buckeyeblue]

17. Dershowitz has that stupid argument that a president cannot commit a crime

[Captain Stern]

18. Well, after all,....trump only hires the best people. lol. n/t

[vxatonstardust]

19. Giuliani

This should be a laugh! I am surprised he isn't charged yet. He also incited the crowd.

"Anarchism, in my view, is an expression of the idea that the burden of proof is always on those who argue that authority and domination are necessary. They have to demonstrate, with powerful argument, that that conclusion is correct. If they cannot, then the institutions they defend should be considered illegitimate. How one should react to illegitimate authority depends on circumstances and conditions: there are no formulas." - Chomsky

[kentuck]

20. He thinks it's a reality TV show.

All about PR.

[Denzil_DC]

21. Dershowitz occasionally appears as a Trumpist talking head in UK TV interviews

He comes across as a very glib, smug sophist.

I don't think that kind of approach will go down well in front of members who just a few days ago were taking cover in fear for their lives.

[Saboburns]

22. He'll have to buy whisky by the barrell

For them two.

[UnderThisLaw]

23. It makes sense

it's not about presenting a normal defense but about who can best impress the cult with the insane conspiracy theories

[Piratedog]

24. Giuliani should be banned from walking anywhere close to the Capitol

[Stinky The Clown]

25. The Dumb Helping the Dumber

The team that couldn't shoot straight
