Retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz gave what may be the most persuasive case against impeaching President Donald Trump while in the well of the U.S. Senate on Monday evening.
Giving a clinic on the history of impeachment in a matter-of-fact and understandable way, Dershowitz explained the derivation of the idea of impeachment and explained that it was to have been the breaking of a defined, limited law and not an amorphous and generalized idea of bad conduct.
Dershowitz had an answer to the New York Times's leak in which Bolton believed the worst about President Trump's delay of aid to Ukraine, saying it was "Inconceivable" to the founders that a quid pro quo was an impeachable offense.
It's part of the way that foreign policy has been operated by presidents since the beginning of time.
Let me repeat: nothing in the Bolton revelations - even if true - would rise to the level of an abuse of power or impeachable offense.
It is inconceivable that the framers would have intended such politically loaded and promiscuously deployed a term as "Abuse of power" and weaponized as a tool of impeachment.
Dershowitz lectured the senators that given the amorphous Democrat House Manager's definition of impeachable offense, under which they're going after Trump, that presidents from George Washington to George H.W. Bush to Obama could have been impeached.
