All five members of Donald Trump's impeachment defense team have resigned from the case, a bit more than a week before the Senate trial is scheduled to begin.
One wonders why.
Here's a possibility: The lawyers wanted to say the impeachment was unconstitutional, because Trump was already out of office, and thus the issue of impeachment was moot. The sole charge was incitement of insurrection, based on his speech to supporters who immediately broke into the Capitol building. However, Trump wanted to focus on the idea that he really did win the election, and therefore the invasion of the Congress by rioters was justified.
The real reason why the lawyers quit is not known.
Yet.
