Awww. How sweet. Trump gave his little flunkies a special job for the Senate trial so they can be there to help him through his trying time. They aren’t participating directly but rather are “working behind the scenes” (if you know what I mean.) Maybe they can come over and give him some foot rubs and tell him what a big, strong, president he is when he gets back from Davos.
The White House announced Monday that President Trump has appointed several Republican members of the House to serve as member of his impeachment team ahead of the Senate trial set to begin this week.
In a statement Monday evening it was announced that Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Mike Johnson (R-La.), Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Jim Jordan (R-N.C.), Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.), John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) and Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) would join Trump’s impeachment team.
The statement added that the lawmakers “have provided guidance to the White House team, which was prohibited from participating in the proceedings concocted by Democrats in the House of Representatives” throughout the House proceedings and would continue to do so in the Senate.
Actually, Trump refused to participate and refused the House invitation to present his case to the Judiciary Committee. But now they are lying and saying it wasn’t allowed and they don’t seem to be pleased with House Republican defense of his interests even though they tried their hardest. Collins and Jordan squealed and cried and yelled themselves hoarse but I guess Trump ‘s team was unsatisfied.
If I were Jordan and Collins I think my feelings might be hurt.
