As my friend Rosie Tennent. says, “The articles are illegal they are not constitutional they don’t meet the criteria.”

Trump defense team for impeachment trial to include Ken Starr, Alan Dershowitz
By Yaron Steinbuchm NY Post, January 17, 2020 |
Story continues below advertisementPresident Trump’s legal team in his impeachment trial will include former independent counsel Ken Starr, his successor Robert Ray and famed defense attorney Alan Dershowitz, according to reports.
The three seasoned veterans are expected to join a team headed by White House counsel Pat Cipollone and outside attorney Jay Sekulow, who plan to deliver statements on Trump’s behalf on the Senate floor, CNN reported.
The team also will include Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general who is serving as special adviser to the president for impeachment, according to The AP.
Dershowitz “will present oral arguments at the Senate trial to address the constitutional arguments against impeachment and removal,” a spokesman for the president’s legal team told CNN.
“While Professor Dershowitz is nonpartisan when it comes to the Constitution — he opposed the impeachment of President Bill Clinton and voted for Hillary Clinton — he believes the issues at stake go to the heart of our enduring Constitution,” the team said in a statement.
“He is participating in this impeachment trial to defend the integrity of the Constitution and to prevent the creation of a dangerous constitutional precedent,” it added.
The president has relied on Dershowitz, a constitutional lawyer, for advice throughout special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and during his impeachment.
Starr is the hard-charging prosecutor who led the Whitewater investigation that led to President Bill Clinton’s impeachment.
He was succeeded by Ray at the Office of Independent Counsel during the Clinton administration.

These are good people who will look out for Trump. Senators live in their little bubbles.
This will help to keep the swamp in line.

Real men all have balls, now we need ovaries to join up to weld up the despicable demon cracks in the scull of filth they’ve created into the sewers.

To be fair … save for a few known bottom feeders …
… the Senate has never looked better …
… if you didn’t know these people better, you might think they have a spine since the shampeachment a month ago.
I would not worry about Mittens or Murky-louse-cow-ski …
The worst the scum can do is cast a couple of votes favoring an immoral, unethical, and illegal proceeding …

Dan, when the fluff on impeachment finally blows away, it will be detailed that having Dershowitz on this “panel” did he President no good … where do the legal allies of the President get the idea that having an “intellectual” leftist professor from Harvard working with them will do any good for the President?
Dershowitz cleverly knows that today the Constitution has become a collection of words on a piece of paper bypassed by history – nothing more. So he can say what he wants and receive accolades ….

Agreed … someone chose him for the optics … i.e. ‘look even a Lefty agrees’ … which has no meaning and no impact.
Alan is a coward … he’s afraid to flush his ties to the Left and leave them behind and admit the Demokkkrats hate us, and they only love socialism because they believe it will do the most damage to innocent people now.
I expect he will not harm the President’s case, but that’s the best I think we can hope for. I think it’s possible he will screw up the imaging and optics – by accident if not intentionally – and burn up whatever ‘benefit’ he might have offered by embarrassing the defense team politically.

Not only do the Articles of Impeachment hold nothing Impeachable for but they are nonsense. The Hearings disproved them. The witnesses disproved them. You can’t Impeach a POTUS for what he might have done or for what he might have been thinking of doing. This should never have reached the trial .
