How incredibly fitting it is that DJT has hired an attorney who represents mobsters for clients. I almost spit milk out my nose. Were it not so pathetic, it would be hysterically funny. In Vegas, we have a resident former mob lawyer, Oscar Goodman. He represented Tony Spilotro successfully getting Spilotro acquitted in his conspiracy trial which of course made him available for a shallow cornfield grave in Indiana. But Oscar’s claim to fame was his ability to dance between the raindrops by proving he was a guy who could keep his mouth tightly shut.

So for a mob attorney to take on the impeachment defense for a wise guy who can’t keep his mouth shut must come with some hefty incentives.

We might speculate concerning a line of defense. For example, the impeachment of a former president is unconstitutional. That’s a good one. Or maybe, my client, your honor, is clinically insane. I prefer that one. Or seriously, your honor, my client is a pathological liar and can’t be trusted to aid us in his defense. So you should just let him go. Okay?

The atmosphere in the courtroom is sure to be lighthearted good fun while the judge eviscerates the DJT legal team. But I suppose it’s not a courtroom in that it’s the Senate chamber and the judge is really a Supreme Court Chief Justice. But I don’t think we should get caught up in those minor details. Just enjoy the moment.

The saddest reality here is DJT is the leader of the gang that couldn’t shoot straight. Pathetically unqualified to be a gangster, he fancies himself a mob boss. We have numerous taped encounters of DJT threatening and cajoling government officials in an attempt to secure overturning his election defeat. We have the film of DJT firing up the angry mob that ultimately stormed the capitol in what could only be interpreted as an unsuccessful coup. All of these actions are obviously despicable and worthy of impeachment. And yet we know that a conviction will likely not be forthcoming.

Like the entirety of his time in the White House, it will be a farce with tragicomedy elements. As someone now famously said, “it is what it is”.
