    "President Trump's lawyer Alan Dershowitz argued Wednesday during the Senate impeachment trial that Trump's alleged Ukraine quid pro quo wasn't impeachable because he was actually just acting in the "public interest."

    Dershowitz's reasoning didn't have to do with rooting out corruption or anything of that sort, however. Instead, he was making the case that because every president believes it's in the public interest to win an election, any action geared toward securing victory is immune from impeachment."

    Appears Trump's defense team is beginning to move the posts here, dealing with the fact that Americans don't have the same understanding of "do us a favor" that they have been previously attempted to promote

    And the argument in itself is pure comedy, I guess if Trump calls up Little Rocket Man tomorrow morning and asks him to do him a favor in getting him reelected Alan would see no difficulty in the request. And to think, the Founding Fathers themselves warned us about the ills of foreign influence in American affairs

    Beginning to appear all the TV lights has taken their toll on Alan

    This is the culmination of ignoring the signposts that were up ahead. The Dems are equally responsible and lately for not utilizing their powers of impeachment sooner.
