They didn't FALL. That was planned. They got planning permission, hired professionals, and undermined shit for DECADES.
Now they realized they burned the bridge out, and they're stuck in their hole, begging for help while screaming that they don't need it.

The GOP is a domestic terrorist organization and needs to be treated as such.

The fact they say they wont find him guilty before a trial immediately disqualifies them as biased.

Trump “You’re damn right I did!” Republicans: ?????so, anyway...
Rebonack
He found lawyers to defend him they keep bailing when he insists they try to prove the election was stolen rather than constitutional stuff.
EroticZombiePants
Like I've been saying, the GOP TOTALLY SUPPORTS THE INSURRRECTION ATTEMPT and WILL do it again next time they lose.
taciturnpachyderm
Right?? And the election wasn't even close!! God forbid it's actually a close call in favor of dems next time.
Copperbrat
The GOP is a septic tank.
BreakTheCode
republican senators want him found guilty. They just don’t wanna be the ones doing it themselves or they’ll lose their support. Hypocrites
daveroyal9
They’re scared of their constituents and being voted out. Which is hilarious, because they’re proving voting does matter and isn’t rigged.
thepiGemFlyer
I think the larg issue with this is thats an unfair trial if jurors have already made up their mind.
CommunCreator
Probably because he wants to take the stand when they KNOW he’ll perjure himself.
iloveminticecream
The lawyers quit because Trump is attempting to use the platform of his trial to push his lie that the election is stolen.
DrKriegersClone
So ... he's going to use the spotlight to argue the incitement was justified? Bold strategy, Cotton ... let's see if he can avoid perjury.
davemymindisgoingicanfeelit
How about Contempt? LoL
Mentok
That would be just wonderful. Make it as embarrassing as possible to not convict him.
supervillainsevilmoustache
Pretty sure the GOP establishment really doesn’t want him to go there. You don’t see any of them pushing for investigations, they’re fine
skellington01
Since when did they have any kind of power over Trump. The GOO doesn’t want Trump at all, but his like Voldemort to death eaters
...just making allegations outside to the mob.

How much of the gop is establishment still?
Three plus half the democrats

Trump could plead guilty and they wouldn't convict him.

The reason there’s a senate and house is to ensure the president doesn’t act like a dictator. GOP enables the shit stain
And we have our first trumpster downvote this because they think senate and president are meant to conspire to overthrow democracy

Don't need lawyers when the jury is bribed/threatened like crazy.

Wouldn't jurors voicing opinions either way BEFORE a trial make them ineligible to serve?
An impeachment is not conducted in a court of law

A real jury -- *sure* -- but this is a 'kangaroo court'. "A kangaroo court may ignore due process and come to a predetermined conclusion."

if they go with his "stolen election" defense, they will be disbarred.

We'll see if they're still around come trial day. These last lawyers were all on board until he tried to get them to spew his "stolen lies.

That lawyer’s client? Albert Einstein.

I'm concerned that Epstein was auto-corrected to Einstein. But I appreciate that the Imgurians let it slide.
It gave me a chance to use a gif I never get to use. Please, take this other gif for being a good sport.

Einstein didn't kill himself!
captainswoopty
Well, you’re not wrong.
AimlessSavant
Can't say I'd hate a lawyer for picking up the worst defenses. It is the right of every person who steps foot in our country.
Eh, impeachment is not a criminal charge. It's inherently political. Besides, if your defendant dies in prison, you kinda f'd up.
dyxj
A lawyer is important for us to have confidence the accused isn't railroaded by the judicial system. The job isn't to get their client off,>
but to make sure the client is fairly represented. Even (or especially) if a person pleads guilty, they should have a lawyer.
zanaria
When lawyers wont touch a high profile case, it means they know they are going to lose. That GOP refuse to convict him despite that 1/2
means that they are just as guilty as he is and they are worried he may provide evidence against them. 2/2
StSword1
Worse than that. Trump's preferred defense "I was ROBBED!" could get the lawyers disbarred for lying.
Exactly. But yet the GOP keep clinging to the sinking ship...
The GOP has been for the benefit of scoundrels at the expense of fools for decades now, Trump just shows the scoundrels can be total morons.
Shows that half of the country is idiots if any GOP can keep getting elected. It's like shooting yourself just to claim Dems did it...
Why do you Republicans keep sabotaging public education? They know they are dependent on those with the critical thinking skills of mushroom
Mostlydeadpool
the trouble is that party loyalty has become a requirement to the Repubs. Otherwise they'll be replace by a more loyal soldier.
SmergBlaerghl
Party loyalty to a party that shows no loyalty to their own, much less constitution and country, and are being held hostage by QAnazis
I will stand up for the 5 that have divided from what the party has become as they appear to be actual republicans.
They’d be replace?
if they break ranks, they'll face another republican challenger in their district. and the new guy gets all kinds of money for the election.
Son, I am disappoint.

Yes. Sadly necessary because DAs overcharge the shit out of crimes in many jurisdictions.
I.e., "Ooh, you ripped your pants on a fence? That's felony indecent exposure, you're gonna have to register as a sex offender, too bad!"
