What the Hell was that? Actually, there is rhyme & reason for what happened today with Trump defense team. As bizarre as it may sound, that was their BEST effort and THIS guy IS their better attorney:
Let me explain

We SAW this. The first dude was bizarrely jovial, in no hurry, utterly contradictory, droned on & on, accomplishing nothing
Then second guy runs at his mouth, rushing through wild array of arguments, ending with bizarre, possibly emotional? poetry. Crying

Pundits tell us that the first guy was a TOTAL train wreck, at times agreeing with the prosecution
The second guy wasn't that hideous, poorly prepared but had some valid arguments but spoke too fast and was confusing
Why would I say first guy is stronger?

During his speech, first dude said they THREW AWAY their prepared arguments. Because 'they were surprised' (that is not a good sign). AFTER the spectacle, we learned that their SPEAKING ORDER had been REVERSED. This is thus the key

What ACTUALLY happened? The 2 guys had prepared a defense for Trump including videos and various evidence (Tweets, expert quotes, news clippings etc). They had rehearsed THAT intended defense and Trump had SEEN it, and approved it. Finalized Monday night

Some part of the Democrats opening ELIMINATED the WHOLE intended defense STRATEGY - and worse - this was a SURPRISE. We all saw the Democrats presentation. There was no 'bombshell' surprise in it. Some details we didn't maybe know. Nothing 'huge'

Whatever it was, the new Trump attorneys had been in such a hurry preparing their defense, they had managed to IGNORE something that turned into a CATASTROPHIC fault in their defense. So bad, they both SAW they have to ABANDON the plan

They improvised. The STRONGER lawyer went and sacrificed himself, threw himself into the fire without a plan, and bullshitted for two hours, to buy time for his colleague to rapidly rewrite the remnants of their strategy and evidence into a rump-defense

It was why first dude was jovial, without a care in the world, bullshitting all over the place. And second dude told a series of disjointed stories, speaking very fast, full of anger, yelling (energy, adrenaline) drinking water so much, & crying in the end

The FIRST guy IS their LEADER. He KNEW the case BETTER. He IS a better lawyer & speaker. He sacrificed himself doing TOTAL IMPROV defense for 2 hours. To buy time, so his colleague could put something together

The second guy did a cut-and-paste job, out of their BOTH intended speeches, and stiched all that together into what turned into the second speech. And of course he sounded then better. But he tried to do 3 hours in one, which is why he spoke so fast

So what?
A defense team CANNOT be this ill-repared in a case where no secret evidence suddenly emerged. They were ill-prepared because they were rushed. Something fell through the cracks. I think I know...

Because the defense was such a ridiculous spectacle, I did not listen carefully to all of it. They were drowning, so I was here writing jokes. BUT of what I did hear, something was missing TOTALLY. The evidence quoting their constitutional scholar

I do not KNOW what was the fatally-flawed defense strategy that had to be abandoned. We may never know. BUT I am GUESSING it was that 'expert' they quoted as their constitutional scholar. The DEMs destroyed his quotation/s as wrongly cited.

It may well be, that the 2 attorneys had used material they BELIEVED was accurate, from the ONLY constitutional scholar they could find, and built BROADLY on his quotations. Maybe someone at Trump team had - in maga style - omitted the bad parts.

Clearly whatEVER their intended strategy had been, the DEMs demolished it. And these 2 attorneys had to abandon the intended plan. What we saw today was a farce, but it is not a true test of the quality of these attorneys. They are both FAR better

But regardless, this was their BEST argument (constitutionality). It will get only worse for the Trump attorneys from here, into the ACTIONS of Jan 6 and before. It was a great day for us. The DEMs team is SUPREMELY well prepared. Raskin is a Jedi Knight

Trump is furious. His attorneys DISOBEYED him. Trump will not pay. The first dude actually sided with the DEMs and said Trump is a criminal. Every TV pundit says the first guy was a disaster. Trump WANTS to fire him & he may do so. It would make it worse

PS to Day 1 analysis
HOW could this happen? There IS a Trump pattern that fits.
Imagine Trump previous team had PARTIAL work done, included that one constitutional scholar and his FULL works. When Trump fired them & hired these 2, he also DELETED the inconvenient parts :-)
