Bwahaha! Gaetz says Trump's legal defense team is like an 8th grader without PowerPoint & iPads.

[Miles Archer]

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) admitted that President Donald Trump’s team of lawyers weren’t quite the legal eagles that he thinks they might be, said Politico reporter Andrew Desiderio.

Questioned about his take on the way the case is unfolding in the Senate, Gaetz said that the House presented it like it was going to be on “cable news.” For many that may be an insult, but it appears to Gaetz that was a compliment.

Desiderio said that Gaetz then lamented that the White House presented their case more like “an 8th-grade book report.”

“Actually, no, I take that back,” he stopped, noting that an 8th grader would have the wherewithal to use visual aids like PowerPoint and iPads.

1. More like 8th graders who only read the Cliff notes.

[Glimmer of Hope]

2. I agree?

Ugh.

3. He's pissed that he isn't on the impeachment defense team

Gaetz (R-Fla.) was in the mix to become one of Trump’s impeachment advisors, a group of House Republicans who are expected to assist the White House with messaging and strategy throughout the Senate impeachment trial. But Gaetz — a conservative firebrand who caught Trump’s eye through his feisty appearances and memorable soundbites on cable news — did not make the final list, which ultimately included eight other House Republicans.

Gaetz said he wasn’t sure why he didn’t make the cut. But Gaetz said he heard from someone in the White House that legislative affairs director Eric Ueland was “responsible for the brush back.”

“I don’t know why it would serve someone in the White House to manufacture a divide between the president and one of his best communicators during impeachment," Gaetz said in an interview.

4. Also the tainted cow.

I WONDER WHY an invitation wasn't extended to Devin Nunes. Must have been "extenuating circumstances."

7. They both put their hearts into being loyal Trump servant boys

Now one is on the do not talk to list and the other has been implicated.

11. Daddy's money usually handles these things! *stomp*

What a brat.

5. Given the defense his lawyers have presented thus far,

a first year crim-law student could do a better job.

6. The Trumps are furiously downloading PowerPoint tutorials right this minute

I foresee a lot of animated slide transition and bullet abuse. Extra points if they figure out sound fx. I suggest comic sans will give it a nice human look everyone can relate to. Ha!

8. Appropriate bullet points:

🤡

[Skittles]

9. it's really got nothing to do with the legal eagles

they're having to defend the indefensible - they've got a shitty, guiltier-than-fuck client

[gratuitous]

10. And that guiltier-than-fuck client chose his legal team based on their Fox appearances

Turns out that the Fox studios are a remarkably friendly and forgiving venue for incompetents with the right biases. Who could have guessed?

12. Is he drunk again?

I mean, he's right but this from Gaetz? Must be sour grapes.
