Trump's impeachment trial could wrap up by next Thursday or Friday if the White House decides not to use its full 24 hours for opening arguments, as the president's lawyer Jay Sekulow suggested. 'We're not going to try to run the clock out,' he said.

The Senate impeachment trial could wrap up by next Thursday or Friday if the White House decides not to use its full 24 hours for opening arguments, as the president's lawyer Jay Sekulow suggested.

Sekulow did not specify how much time the White House planned to use, saying "we'll make that determination" after the House impeachment managers finish their opening arguments. "I am confident that whether it is Saturday or Monday or Tuesday that the case will be made defending the president," Sekulow said. —President Donald Trump took off for the annual RNC Winter Meeting in Florida with just a wave to the press gathered outside the White House.

Trump's Legal team is aiming for a whitewash ! History will acknowledge the sham trial as such. It will backfire ! The American people want the full truth to be impartially assessed by a responsible Senate that puts America's interests first!

Even they would be stretched lying and gaslighting for 24 hours.

They don’t have 24 hours worth of bullshit lies

You can only stand up and lie for so long.

Democrats are so corrupt. I am embarrassed to call myself a democrat. It’s sick what the democrats are doing to the constitution.

Truth is they don’t have much to say.

Can someone tell JaySekulow he has something Orange 🍊 on his nose and chin please!! Liesyoutell RemoveTrumpNow GulityGulityGulity

...cuz lying is hard.

When you have no evidence to disprove the charges, yes your time requirement is short. Then of course the corrupt SenateGOP will do their dirty work for you. These Senators call themselves the greatest deliberative body in the world. They are as corrupt as some 3rd world govt

oh look it's the liar JaySekulow

Vote them out for reneging on their oaths of office

How could they possibly use 24 hours to stand up there and cry “he didn’t do anything!” They don’t have anything to present to refute any testimony or evidence. What a joke. A sad sick joke

It does take long when there is no argument other than “it was a perfect call”!!

They have no defense and they know it.

It's because he has no defense and is tired of looking like a dolt...

They can’t put up a defense so the Senate will bail them out. The end of Congress so sad for America

MAGA

It doesn't require much time for opening arguments seeing as there is NO EVIDENCE. Hearsay and hurt feelings are not evidence which is why dems didn't go to court. This is just political theatre and the end result of this sham is crystal clear. Dems lose. Trump aquital. MAGA 😎

They don’t have to defend him given the Republicans won’t all him to be impeached nor will they speak out of line from the FoxOpinion / Trump narrative.

Cause you dont have enough to say... you got nothing...

It's pretty simple when you have no defense.

Because you have no defense. What a joke. I guess from now on all presidents can solicit foreign help for the election

Awesome. It is so nice to finally have the adults in the room start presenting

Does the president's attorneys just have a one line rebuttal argument?

Translated: 'WE can only FAKE a Defense for so long.'

I can imagine, because there is no defence.

Are you kidding,Trump will make him use the whole time to spout his lies.

They have no defense for Trump. I am sure they can’t use three days because what can they say other than more lies.

Two Carter Page FISA warrants by FBI declared 'not valid,' DOJ says signed by Rosenstein, Comey, and McCabe

Thank god. This is a circus. Dismiss now.

They probably can’t fill an hour.

At this point, they don’t need to. Watching the Democrats prattle on and on has done their case no good, in fact I think it’s hurt them.

That’s what happens when you have no defense.

TrumpIsGuilty Duh!

Sekulow: We will point up that it was 'a perfect call' and go home.. - Sekulow: Trump's impeachment trial could wrap up by next early, if WH uses less time than Dems. 'We're not going to try to run the clock out,' he said.

Two thoughts always lead to collision and deflection between opposition?

How could they?

It’s a sham anyway

JaySekulow essentially admitting he and Trump's defense team is unprepared and unable to mount a substance-rich defense. BestPeople TrumpImpeachment ImpeachmentTrial

They have no defense.
