DEFENSE DESTROYING PROSECUTION - SOME OF THE JOHN DEM PUBLIC NOT RECOGNIZING THAT
So far, the defense is destroying the House prosecution case - but if you listen to the average Joe Dem Public calling in to CSPAN 2 - they aren't grasping what is going on.
-
The defense demonstrated Adam Schiff is a liar. In effect, they impeached his prosecution. He cherry picked witnesses by pre-screening them without the president's attorney being president, leading to accusations of withholding exculpatory evidence. Then further misleading the public, other House members and the Senate with cherry picked testimony.
-
They've repeatedly shown how the House Managers, including Schiff and Nadler, have taken legal positions completely the opposite of what they state now. They twist the law and rules for political purposes instead of following the law and applying rules equally.
-
Biondi's portion got to the heart of the matter on why they engaged in the entire "Get Trump" scheme, starting as far back as the Jan 2016 WH/Ukraine meeting - MOTIVE. The MOTIVE of the Obama Administration was to prevent Trump from becoming POTUS, and to impeach him if he won in 2016. It was entirely a cover-up of the Biden-Ukraine connection, and a cover-up of other real crimes and corruption.
The treason case for the DOJ to prosecute everyone involved in the cover-up and later the Get Trump co-conspirators has been laid out for those who are awake.

Attorney after attorney has given us the best lesson in the law the public has seen. These sections should be required to be taught in high school along with teaching the US Constitution - no later than 9th grade - so the kids can start understanding the American system of justice, etc.
(Actually basic law, including the long term effect of committing crimes, probably should be a required class every year in school grades 5-12. Most parents don't know, and can't teach their kids. Many parents have the wrong ideas.)
UNFORTUNATELY - large segments of the public knows nothing about the Constitution, the Rules of Criminal and/or Civil Procedure, the Rules of Evidence, etc. Those of us who know a teeny bit about the law, and those who are just plain logical and learn quick, see how important the last two days have been.
Many of the callers espouse what they think the law/rules is/are (or should be) and have no idea that their concepts bear no relationship to reality. And this is something I hope the defense can bring out in very simple terms during the wrap up for the short attention span public.
I realize that the attorneys are primarily focusing their arguments on the Senate / Jurors.
But the public is also a jury and at some point needs simpler connections made.
Some of the public isn't making the connection to why Hunter Biden has anything to do with this case against Trump. That's OK. The seed has been planted.
Another comment I heard that would be great to hear addressed is that Schiff told the public in advance what the prosecution would say about this or that. Of course this was effective on Schiff's part, because the public doesn't know the law, and he damn well knows the Trump team would argue the law. Schiff flipped it on a dumbed down law-ignorant public to trick them. This needs to be exposed.
Does the public grasp the concept of what's good for the goose is good for the gander? Fair minded people do. But over the years, I've found a lot of people don't grasp the concept.
Not going to win the hearts and minds of everyone, but for the fence sitters, I hope a short simple explanation will tip them away from the Schiff brainwashing crew.
