Is Trump going to represent himself at the impeachment trial? And bring his own evidence on election fraud? What do you guys think will happen, someone has to represent him in the case.

There's no case to defend
Why were there so many South Carolina lawyers?
Who is from South Carolina? A house rep from South Carolina? That's a known piece of shit that we know talks to Trump a lot.

Butch Bowers, a South Carolina lawyer who was reportedly set to play a major role in the Senate’s trial of the former president, is now no longer with the team. Deborah Barbier, another South Carolina lawyer, won’t be either. The person described it as a “mutual decision” and said new names will be announced shortly.
In addition, CNN reported on Saturday night that a third member of Trump’s prospective legal team, Josh Howard, was also leaving.
CNN reported:
Johnny Gasser and Greg Harris, from South Carolina, are no longer involved with the case, either.
A person familiar with the departures told CNN that Trump wanted the attorneys to argue there was mass election fraud and that the election was stolen from him rather than focus on the legality of convicting a president after he’s left office. Trump was not receptive to the discussions about how they should proceed in that regard.
The first legal filing in the trial is due on Tuesday, and the trial is expected to begin in earnest the week of February 8.

Wasn't that story generated by CNN? If so, there's your answer. LIES! That's all CNN ever does especially about Trump.
I think he will will walk in and defeat the senate in 100 man kumite as part of trial by combat.
They bailed because they would face never-ending ethics complaints. No firm would touch them and if they went into private practice no client would hire them.
Unless they have a terminal disease or are independently wealthy and are okay with being personally and professionally shunned for the rest of their lives, they are on a dead-end street. Christopher Hitchens had more respect as Sadam Hussain's attorney than members of Trump's defense team.
They have careers and families to consider. To them, President Trump is a client, one of many.
