The Impeachment Trial Briefs Are In, And The Winner Is…
The House impeachment managers and the lawyers for President Donald Trump have both filed their memorandums for the Senate impeachment trial which gets underway in earnest today. While the two documents are nearly identical in length, the president’s is by far the stronger document.

It seems the Democrats may have a hole in their basket and a lot of all those eggs they put in there fell out.


S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



Neither memorandum breaks new legal, political or constitutional grounds, but there was no expectation they would. The only “new” evidence – if it can be characterized as such – is that the managers’ memorandum includes references to matters that came to light in the month since the two Articles of Impeachment were passed by the House. The managers discuss statements recently made by Ukraine-American operative Lev Parnas in television interviews and refer also to a Government Accountability Office memorandum released last week after being requested by Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen. The GAO report found fault with the grounds on which the Office of Management and Budget temporarily delayed the release of military assistance dollars to Ukraine last summer.

Even if the Senate decides to consider this “new” evidence, however, it adds nothing to the underlying question confronting the upper chamber – whether President Trump is guilty of the offenses alleged against him by the Democrat majority in the House and should be removed from office. If the grounds on which this seminal question is to be answered are to be gleaned from these first filings, the answer is a resounding, “Not Guilty.”

While the trial brief filed on the president’s behalf is over 100 pages long, the operative language, capturing the full essence of why the Senate trial should result in acquittal, is set forth in the preliminary “Answer” filed last Saturday and which continues as a central theme throughout the memorandum: “[the] Articles of Impeachment are constitutionally invalid on their face [and] fail to allege any crime or violation of law whatsoever, let alone ‘high Crimes and Misdemeanors,’ as required by the Constitution.”

That truly is all the president’s lawyers need assert in his defense, because it rebuts completely what the House is attempting to do in direct violation of the explicit language in the Constitution itself. The Constitution mandates that the only grounds on which a president may be impeached and removed from office are “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” (my emphasis). Neither the First nor the Second Article of Impeachment levelled against Trump constitutes a violation of any state or federal law.
“Abuse of Power” is not a crime, and “Obstruction of Congress” is not a crime. No amount of wordsmithing by the House managers can shoehorn either of these “offenses” into any criminal statute. Notwithstanding former President Clinton’s valiant but unsuccessful effort to escape impeachment in 1998 by arguing, “it all depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is,” what is written in the Constitution of the United States means what it says. Lawyers may argue about whether a particular crime constitutes a “high” crime (the House decided in 1998 that perjury and obstruction of justice by a sitting president did meet that criteria). But they never should be permitted to prevail in arguing that behavior which is not a crime is a crime in order to rid themselves of a president they do not like.
This is the reason the section of the managers’ memorandum setting out the “Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment” is so short – a mere three pages of a 111-page document – and draws on such irrelevant documents as George Washington’s 1796 “Farewell Address.”
The managers tip their hand — and reveal the true motive for their drive to convince 67 Senators that the President should be removed from office 10 months before he stands for re-election — in what they call their “Statement of Material Facts.” At page 60 of that portion of their memorandum, the managers argue that President Trump should be removed from office, because Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election showed that the president tried to obstruct that investigation.

As the rest of the world knows, the Mueller investigation found that the president did not obstruct anything. However, in the never-give-up, make-believe world in which these impeachment managers and their Democrat House colleagues operate, neither facts nor constitutional language mean anything. For the sake of our constitutional Republic, the United States Senate must reaffirm that both facts and the Constitution remain relevant, and acquit President Donald J. Trump.

Bob Barr represented Georgia’s 7th District in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2003. He now serves as President of the Law Enforcement Education Foundation based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Abuse of power does not need to be represented in a violation of a legal statute. It's that simple. 

It is quite telling that virtually no one is able to defend trump on the facts of the case, and almost the entire argument against impeachment is based on the false idea that if Trump didnt break a criminal law he is off the hook. 

Guilty people try to get off on technicalities. Those who are innocent on the facts can use evidence.

If abuse of power was always a meaningless term you might have a point.  It is when the accusation is fleshed out with facts that it shows its purpose and worth. 

Many constitutional scholars are more than willing to associate "abuse of power" with "high crimes and misdemeanors". 

If there weren't we wouldn't even be talking about it. 

If you can show us something from the framers that asserts that impeachment of the president must be based on violation of a specific criminal law.

Trump Impeachment Lawyer Utters 'Biggest Lie Ever' Told On Senate Floor

1b7bcfa0-ffe6-11e8-abbe-535ccd54ed26   January 22, 2020, 4:32 AM EST

Twitter users mockingly accused White House counsel      Pat Cipollone       of telling the “biggest lie ever” on the Senate floor after he vouched for      Donald Trump       during the president’s impeachment trial.

Cipollone, who is leading Trump’s defense, claimed Trump “is a man of his word” during the proceedings on Tuesday night.

Abuse of power does not need to be represented in a violation of a le

Just because a partisan line vote of democrats call something an abuse of power doesn't mean it is.  Partisan democrats can impeach Trump for having the wrong color hair and call it an abuse of power. An impeachable offense is whatever a bare majority of the House says it is. The House certainly could have impeached Obama for "obstructing Congress" on this theory as well. But if 67 Senators don't agree with the partisan House, it's not a removable offense.

The Senate is not bound by House Democrats definitions and the senate has every right to simply say the allegations, even if proven, don't constitute a removable offense. The only relevant argument is something that convinces 67 Senators that it's a removable offense, no matter what you call it. If even 34 Senators disagree with the partisan impeachment vote, its not a removable offense. End of story.

Well, what you say is obvious, if they dont get 67 votes to remove, then he is not removed. But that doesnt mean it wasnt a "removable" offense, it means this particular Senate makeup wanted to keep Trump in power. 

The widely discussed CNN poll yesterday indicated that 58 percent of Americans think Trump abused his power as president

58% say Trump abused the power of the presidency to obtain an improper personal political benefit and 57% say it is true that he obstructed the House of Representatives in its impeachment inquiry.

58% of Americans are not hysterical liberal partisans, are they? 

When was the last time 58% of Americans approved of Trump?  I think that may have been when he fired Omarosa on The Apprentice  television game show. 

I think you are well aware of two facts, One, what Trump did is impeachable, and two, the Republicans who are afraid of his power to primary them in their next election are cowered into casting a no vote in the Senate.

Abuse of power does not need to be represented in a violation of a legal statute.

In the abstract, I would say that's possible, sure. But being able to cite a specific statute would sure help.

Unless you tie it to some established law with specific elements, then you have to concede that virtually anything could be considered "abuse of power" if you just argue it with sufficient outrage and conviction. In any presidency, there are continual declarations from political opponents and media commentators that the president is exceeding his authority or abusing his power. Every president hears those accusations. But they aren't impeached as a result.

The problem of specific laws is particularly desirable in the case of presidential impeachments which are so rare, unique, and distinctly political as to sit outside of the normal body of case law and legal tradition. We just don't have enough (and consistent) examples to be able to say definitively, "this is abuse of power" or "that is not abuse of power." It's all opinion - and partisan opinion at that.

That being the case with Trump, it's disingenuous to speak of "clear" or "overwhelming" evidence of guilt and impeachable conduct. And considering that the effort was in place for two-and-a-half to three years prior to the events considered impeachable, the process has long since burned any credibility it could have relied on to sway people.

Abuse of power is like porn, you know it when you see it. Or in the case of the GOP, you pretend it isn't porn because you support it's creator. 

And considering that the effort was in place for two-and-a-half to three years prior to the events considered impeachable, the process has long since burned any credibility it could have relied on to sway people.

So by that standard, every POTUS who has been strongly opposed from the start, because of questionable actions, can do whatever the fuck they want afterward because others were 'mean' to him/her at the start of the term.

Previous impeachment efforts weren't continuous and random, finally settling on whatever popped up. Democrats campaigned on impeaching Trump long before the Ukraine events even happened, but it's the Ukraine events he is being impeached for. That adds up to a negative number for credibility.

You know that when they're coming at you with you stuff like this, they really have nothing to say. I lost track of how many times I heard "no one is above the law" last night. Ok, but so what? That's not an argument. It's not evidence. It's not persuasive. It's a platitude.

Hour after hour, the managers do what TDS Democrats have done since the 2016 campaign. They relate mundane details of ordinary speech and behavior, but they do it with gravitas in their tone and raised eyebrows to convince you that it's all some shameful scandal.

The whole process is one big circular argument. You know that Trump's behavior and speech is impeachable because they just got through telling you that it's impeachable.
