He’s not pointing out facts. He’s making an argument. A bad one.Dershowitz is first and foremost a Defense Lawyer who will say whatever it takes to get his client off the charges. Just ask OJ and Epstein.
Trump is really not his client. He doesn't work for Trump. Explaining the Constitution and the founders intent is not saying anything, it's saying a lot.
Okay, so the Republicans don't really need Dershowitz. But what happens after the Senate votes against the impeachment? Do you really think the Democrats are going to go on CNN, and say "Well it was a fair trial, we just have to live with the outcome????" I'll bet my dollar to your dime that won't happen no matter what. However with Dershowitz testimony, it's at least some defense against their expected reaction.
He is part of the Trump defense team.
By pointing out constitutional facts only???
That is what he was hired to do, point out the constitutional facts that help Trump.
How is it bad when he's pointing out that they discussed abuse of power, and decided not to include that in the articles of impeachment. He also pointed out that such an ambiguous charge could apply to just about any past President. You call that a bad argument?
