President Trump's legal team plans to use only a few hours to lay out its case on Saturday, a day when few people will be watching, people briefed on the plan said. On Monday, Alan Dershowitz will present.https://t.co/fWU6otNjlr

*TRUMP LAWYERS PLAN TO SPEAK FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS TOMORROW AT TRIAL

— Laura Litvan (@LauraLitvan) January 24, 2020

The Trump team expects tomorrow to be a truncated session, because so few people will be watching. They expect to use more time on Monday, and possibly some Tuesday, but few expect the full 24 hours to be used.

Is their defense going to be:

READ THE TRANSCRIPTS!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 24, 2020

Or:

More than anything else, the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, like AOC, Omar, Cryin’ Chuck, Nervous Nancy & Shifty Schiff, are angry & “deranged” over the fact that Republicans are up to 191 Federal Judges & Two Great New Supreme Court Justices. Don’t blame me, blame Obama!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 24, 2020

Or "Obama did it, so blame Obama!"?

The Obama Administration strategically withheld foreign aid:

Ukraine - $1B THREATENED TO WITHHOLD

Pakistan - $800M WITHHELD

Colombia - $450M CONDITIONED

Philippines - $433M NOT RENEWED

Egypt - $260M WITHHELD

Honduras - $30M WITHHELD

Mexico - $26M WITHHELD

— Sen. Marsha Blackburn (@MarshaBlackburn) January 22, 2020

Or attacks on Adam Schiff, which is wholly irrelevant to the issues before the Senate:

Jim is great! https://t.co/SxjDSlaP7J

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 24, 2020

Or "Chuck Schumer is a politician!"

Sen. Schumer’s partisan accusations and threats have further exposed his real goal with this trial: becoming Senate majority leader, writes @KimStrassel https://t.co/RVFP6NDNE5 via @WSJ

— Senator John Cornyn (@JohnCornyn) January 24, 2020

Or will they complain they are in "Death Valley"?

After having been treated unbelievably unfairly in the House, and then having to endure hour after hour of lies, fraud & deception by Shifty Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer & their crew, looks like my lawyers will be forced to start on Saturday, which is called Death Valley in T.V.

I know Dershowitz is going to argue the President is above the law because without a crime proven (an alleged crime is just an allegation) you can't impeach the President, and you can't prove a crime against a President because you can't indict a President. And no prep?  Is he gonna do a Guiliani on Fox? As I said earlier: his presentation is  a fart in a hurricane.  It's indefensible legally, and incomprehensible legally.  He'll have people turning off the t.v.

What knife does Ken Starr bring to this gunfight?  Or the more salient question:  is Ken Starr willing to lie to the Chief Justice and the Senate the way Cipollone and Sekulow already have?

Inquiring minds want to know!
