Trump Allies Concern Democrats’ ‘Compelling’ Impeachment Case Will Finish His Political Profession Ceaselessly: Report

According to a report by Politico, Donald Trump’s close allies now fear his second impeachment trial could have far-reaching implications for his ability to revive his political career as Democrats are likely to focus on the horror of the January 6 storm of the Capitol, which the former president is accused of incitement.

January leads as impeachment managers are likely to be very focused on the riot – and could actually call witnesses to testify what happened. “

The report adds, “People familiar with Trump’s strategy say his defense lawyers David Schoen and Bruce Castor hope to keep the process short and sweet – rather than get involved in a long debate about whether their comments are theirs Stop the Steal Clients “A rally outside the White House is considered stimulating speech or legitimizes prosecution arguments by focusing on January 6th.”
