Waiting for Trump team defense

By JOHN KANELIS / johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com

The prosecution is about to wrap up its argument against Donald John Trump.

I now am steeling myself for the other side of this riveting U.S. Senate impeachment trial.

Acknowledging my own bias,  I believe the House managers put on a stellar case against Trump. He incited the riot on the Sixth of January that sought to derail a constitutional process, which was to certify the results of the 2020 election.

They presented stunning physical evidence. They made their case.

Now it’s about to be Trump’s turn to defend himself through the legal counsel he has hired. Again, admitting my own bias, I must say that Trump team’s legal opening was, shall we say, disjointed and virtually incoherent.

I intend to listen to their case intently. I do not want to prejudge what Trump’s lawyers will present.

I acknowledge, however, that it will be difficult to avoid dismissing their presentation the moment I hear them.
