YOU CAN'T DO THAT
Watch: Trump Advisor Jason Miller Brags Three Top GOP Senators Assisted With Impeachment Defense

Just hours before Donald Trump’s impeachment attorneys will present their defense of the former president in his Senate impeachment trial on inciting the January 6 insurrection his longtime aide and advisor Jason Miller bragged the lawyers were assisted by three top Republican Senators: Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, and Mike Lee.
During an impeachment Senators act as jurors. They take an oath to deliver “impartial justice” – not to aid in the defense of the accused.
“But I’ll tell you, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Mike Lee. These are some smart guys with some very good ideas, and I think President Trump is going to get the absolute best defense today, and it was a real honor to have those senators come in and give us some additional ideas so we’re appreciative for that yeah it,” Miller told Newsmax (video below).
Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs adds:
Trump adviser Jason Miller mentions @SenMikeLee @SenTedCruz @LindseyGrahamSC 3 times, implying they’re with Trump. Said they came to impeachment team’s war room in room S-211 to help lawyers. “It was a real honor to have those senators come in and give us some additional ideas.” pic.twitter.com/ip7nJzLFhT

On Thursday many on social media were aghast when it was reported those three Senators had been caught advising Trump’s defense attorneys.
Cruz freely admitted his complicity.
“We were discussing their legal strategy and sharing our thoughts,” the Texas Republican Senator told CNN.
David Schoen, one of Trump’s attorneys, defended getting advice from the jury.
“There’s nothing about this thing that has any semblance of due process whatsoever,” he said, demonstrating his lack of respect for the constitutionally-defined process.
