No lawyer sitting in the Senate should buy this baloney argument on Trump’s behalf. But if you don’t have the facts, argue the law—even if it’s a crap argument.
From the article:
“Mr. Bowman — whose scholarship on impeachment law is cited in a footnote in the Trump legal team brief — called the arguments in that brief “a well-crafted piece of sophistry that cherry-picks sources and ignores inconvenient history and precedent.” For example, he noted, it makes no mention of how the Hastings case involved allegations of abuses of power that were not indictable crimes.”
