As in, Trump is guilty, but too stupid to defend himself?

His whole life has been about dragging shit out in court, but this ain't your local court settling a failure to pay compalint.

This is the big time.

Impeachment is forever. The verdict will be permanent, for him and the country, which means we are in pretty shaky hands with the Repubs in the Senate.

What normal, sentient humans would regard as ineffective assistance of counsel is what His Lardship loves because it involves yelling, insults and lies. To him it's a feature instead of a bug.
