Trump infamously always shoots himself in the foot. Here, he chased off his original lawyers by insisting they argue the election was rigged when just arguing the trial was unconstitutional was probably enough to get him off. So he has to hire this dumbass ambulance chaser 1/x

...at the last minute, the guy has no experience and doesn't seem to even understand he's not in civil court, he tries to bully the Senate into not calling witnesses, which may very well have pissed off enough GOP senators to do the opposite. 2/x
Or even if they weren't pissed off, they no longer had good cover to vote to acquit. In other words, Van Der Veen made it harder to get his client off when he has no business being anywhere near this case in the first place. 3/x
And he's only there in the first place because Trump is such a spectacular moron who sabotages himself through his unquenchable ego. It just never stops being incredible. Even a dog can be taught quickly to stop jumping on the sofa. 4/4
Addendum: Dems have all the momentum, and if they do this they hand Trump and the GOP a victory. Unbelievably craven and cowardly.

Addendum 2: Someone show this to Dems quick and ask if they're okay with this smug, sanctimonious twerp rubbing their noses in it from now until Judgement Day.
