President Trump’s defense team will include Ken Starr, whose investigation led to President Clinton’s impeachment, and Alan Dershowitz, a left-leaning Harvard law professor and Fox News contributor. The two are widely regarded as experts in the legalities of political battles, though neither has spent much time in a courtroom lately.
It may not matter since the other table will feature members of the House of Representatives who, while knowledgeable, have also spent much more time lately obstructing the President than brushing up on their legal skills. House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff and House Judicial Committee Chair Jerry Nadler lead the impeachment managers.
As some commentators have noted, this will not be a traditional courtroom setting, and not just because it will be held on the Senate floor with 100 jurors. These jurors are also technically empowered like prosecutors and defense attorneys with the ability to act as a body to call witnesses and make motions. This is why it’s important for the legal teams for both sides to be sharp as they interact with Chief Justice John Roberts, who will be presiding.
Joining the defense will be Pam Bondi, who was Florida Attorney General before joining the Trump administration in an advisory role, Robert Ray, who succeeded Starr as special counsel in the Whitewater investigation, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, and Trump’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow. The latter two, who have been involved from the beginning, will lead the defense while Dershowitz is expected to make arguments. Twitter responded as one might expect.
Lets see: Speaker Pelosi sends in Schiff and Nadler and President Trump sends in Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr. That should tell you everything you need to know about the quality of the two cases.

GOOD NEWS! Ken Starr, Robert Ray and Democrat Alan Dershowitz Selected to Defense Team to Defend Trump at Sham Impeachment Trial https://t.co/NX6lMBJxC7 via @gatewaypundit

Dershowitz, a Democrat, is the most interesting of the team members as he is not necessarily a Trump supporter. He voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and opposed impeachment in 1998. But he also opposes this impeachment and has been vocal in his role on Fox News about the direction the Democratic Party is heading.
It’s a legal dream team versus full-time members of Congress. In a regular courtroom, this would be ugly. But the Senate isn’t a normal courtroom and politics are still in play. Nevertheless, it’s good to see the defense stacked with brilliant experts.

Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Our network is currently comprised of six sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
- OurGoldGuy: Tell them JD sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
