I believe that they didn't use evidence of election fraud or the Capitol event being a false-flag because it would have been enormously counterproductive.
Think about it. If fraud and/or the false-flag would have been made into part of the defense argument, the defense would essentially be backing the rats into a corner. And rats never fight back harder than when they are backed into a corner.
The choice would be A: vote not to convict, and thus tacitly admit that they're guilty of complicity in election fraud and/or a false-flag event, or B: vote to convict in order to keep up the facade of their innocence. You know which way they'd choose.
Thus, making election fraud and/or the false-flag part of the defense argument would have likely guaranteed that President Trump would get convicted.
Instead, the defense team didn't back the rats into a corner, and instead give them the chance to vote not to convict without tacitly admitting to the fraud or the false-flag. This much lowers the chance of conviction.
There are other, far more effective, opportunities to challenge the fraud (possibly before the Supreme Court or some other venue). But the correct strategy for the impeachment trial is "live to fight another day".
So You can crush them!!!
I said something similar yesterday. Trump has 44 Senators in his corner right now, if election fraud was presented he may lose some of that support. How many of these 44 Senators might be part of the election fraud themselves. They voted to call the impeachment unconstitutional to prevent backlash from their constituents but they may drop their support if they feel threatened with election fraud allegations.
Right, but they said today that they only need a majority to disqualify him from ever running again. That's what they're shooting for.
Lots of people talking about Trump bringing back the original Constitution, him being the 19th President, moving the capital out of DC, leaving the old system behind. Would it matter if they disqualified him? They don't chose who our President is, the people do. BTW, I'm from MI also, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too! Love the state and people, not the governor. As for Trump, I'm praying for that all the time, but every day that goes by makes me a little more nervous that it's not going to happen. Trying to have hope, though. I know things have to get worse before they get better. But with so much at stake, it's a little terrifying, tbh.
Biden has only been in office for 23 days, I know it feel like forever. Give it a little more time, Trump knows what he is doing. He would have never allowed the democrats to steal this election if he didn't have a plan to trap them. He knew how they used Dominion and smartmatic to steal elections in the past. In fact Q and white hat hackers stopped the steal in 2016 and could have done it again. They didn't so that tells me they have a plan in place. Keep watching. its going to be biblical.
If evidence used today would be NO GOOD in Court later.
It would still be good in court, but it would give them time to prepare a counter.
why?
and you dont need to drop all of it in any case, save juicy stuff for later
How so?
As there is proof of foreign interference in the election, it seems to me that there could be national security issues which would preclude certain information being heard in an open court. I don't know why people aren't allowing for that. I certainly could be wrong, but I think that is exactly why they haven't plastered all the proof all over the place and taken out billboards to display it.
agreed. this a one horse pony...or something.
To be precise, it was a jack-toed pony drag... or something.
I disagree. I believe we’re squandering an opportunity to flip the script on them right now. There’s very few days left to fight effectively. It’s the same low-effort/ no fight mindset conservatives have had for years calling a 10 yard loss a win because they didn’t lose 50. Fucking embarrassing.
they are going to convict him either way ffs, they have blackmail or threats to almost all of them in there and they need to make a statement to trump and his ilk. They didnt do all this just to let him walk away.
Sigh I keep reading these excuses but it's exasperating
Excuses? At some point you (the general you) just have to acknowledge that you are not on the inside and therefore know next to nothing. You really have no choice but to trust that Trump et al know what they're doing. Anything less is counterproductive at this point.
Wise words
True words, also.
Sadly, these foxholes are filled with some faggots and trannies.
We passed that on 1/6...
