“So I’m sure they will be well prepared in the future and do a great job in the case,” said Schoen.

The defense comes after Castor’s performance was widely panned after he made a meandering argument that included the beginnings of democracies, individual senators name searches and only briefly mentioned the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill, the center of the impeachment process.

“Anyone who listened to President Trump’s legal team saw that they were not focused, they were trying to avoid the issue and they were talking about everything but the issue,” Sen said.

“There is a lot to say, and I know they feel very eager to fight what they see,” Schoen responded.
