Meet Trump's lead Defense Attorney Pat "Jesus this and Jesus that" Cipollone. Who was previously on the board of directors of the Catholic Information Center.
So, Pat sure can talk for hours about "that which is not seen but must be true". He lives in a world where "every damn thing written in the Bible is true... no matter HOW MUCH EVIDENCE in the real world begs to question.
Cipollone is one of the architects in this coverup scam Senate trial "The sham trial of the century". He's the person who probably instructed Heir Trump, who believes he's also walking with Jesus, to not divulge a ounce of documentation, not allow witnesses, not speak to investigators.
You can bet Cipollone has a closet full of Armoni, Zenga, Giorgio and Brioni suits. Afterall, you can't fly around in those Catholic "charity" Organization Gulfstream VI's wearing Old Navy can you now???!!
Ok, so today was Q & A day at the Senate Impeachment trial.
I honestly tried, tried, tried to listen to the opposing views from Trump's Attorney's. I finally came to the rule that I would listen with an open mind UNTIL THEY LIED and or INSULTED THE AMERICAN CITIZEN'S INTELLIGENCE. Then it's, click click click forward on the DVR.
Cipollone, is by far the worst. I clearly can envision him bent over in the Oval Office asking "Thankyou sir may I have another" as Pence pummels his Kentucky Catholic School derriere. While Trump looks on sipping Cognac and slams Quarter Pounders.
I would wish no one the curse of having to listen to every word spoken by Republicans today but here I think was one of the most dissecting moments.
THE QUESTION: "Have you been in involved in any trial in which you were unable to submit relevant witnesses or call witnesses."
Democrat Senator Val Demmings, a 25 year law enforcement professional, a black American Senator living in one of the most White-bread states, Florida gave a to the point answer.
"Never". "We all know witnesses and documents are the dream of the prosecution" "Never have I ever seen a trial with neither when available".
Cipollone, well, he started waiving his hands, drooling on his fine digs... LIE AFTER LIE, with an occasional misleading pile of horse S**T in the mix.
"The House didn't allow the President to call witnesses" TRUTH: Trump only wanted to Call Joe Biden to deflect, no relevant witnesses, and HE HAS GONE TO INFINITE LENGTHS TO FORBID VITAL FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE WITNESSES Pompeo, Pence, Mulvaney, Bolton, etc etc etc
Cipollone: "Did the House TRY to subpoena witnesses" Truth: YES and there's about 31 hours of on air testimony from the people WHO WERE NOT FORBIDDEN TO TESTIFY BY THE PERSON WHO IS GUILTY. TRUMP.
Cipollone: "The House should have tried to compel vital witnesses if they wanted to hear them... they didn't nah nah nanny nah nah" (more hand waiving) Truth: The 2020 election campaign is started. Trials for compelling orders of subpoenas take YEARS... Trump has spent his life mastering the art of delaying trials THOUSANDS OF THEM - LOOK IT UP!!! By the time the House was even inside a court room Trump would be reelected (with the help of Russia no doubt)
and the most insulting...
Cipollone: "Look at the Mueller Report...2800 subpoenas 500 search warrants 500 witnesses... and Robert Mueller said NO COLLUSION" Truth: OMFG! NO TOP WHITE HOUSE MEMBERS ANSWERED SUBPOENAS, and to hear Cipollone voice Trump's lie "Mueller concluded there was NO COLLUSION"....again for the umpteenth time MUELLER SPECIFICALLY SAID HE DID NOT INVESTIGATE ANYTHING DEEMED AS "COLLUSION" AND HE DID NOT DISMISS OR CONVICT THE PRESIDENT BUT CONFIRMED RUSSIA INTERFERED IN THE 2016 ELECTION ON TRUMP'S BEHALF AND TRUMP WELCOMED THAT"
Trump's entire life can only be described as CHEATING, EXTORTION, BLACKMAILING, MANIPULATING, FOUL ETHICS and when you lump all that BULLS**T in one pile THAT IS "COLLUSION"
No, people there is no arguing with a lifetime Religious fanatic who believes in a greater power and is willing to allow someone to commit extortion and obstruction as long as they "Pass the Bible".
more accurately, pass legislation that will make the catholic Church more powerful an
