No lawyer wants to defend Trump. McConnell has delayed the trial until after Trump's time in office has ended, so none of the presidential lawyers or justice department lawyers are at his beck and call anymore. He is refusing to pay Giuliani. He already used the major firms with the bogus 'voter fraud' cases enough that they are sick of it.
He might be given lots of time, but no support.
He may just testify on his own, with his patented form of double speak and silliness. Pass the popcorn.
If the government is involved, it's a government matter and he is legally entitled to a defense. So, do you want to see and hear about Democrats being killed or wounded all over the country or what? You people aren't thinking clearly and don't quite grasp the situation that you're all in right now and will be finding yourselves being drug in deeper and deeper as the months go on and the country begins turning on you every where in the country.
No one will stop him from putting on a defense. Quite to the contrary. But no lawyer is going to testify before Congress without congressional immunity, and actually telling the truth is outside the Trump bubble.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
