Lifelong Liberal Democrat Defends President Trump
Alan Dershowitz made his first public remarks Monday in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump during the defense's presentation.
Dershowitz, a long-time Democrat, made the case that the president cannot be impeached without a crime, saying the requisite "high crimes and misdemeanors" the Constitution speaks of were not present in the two articles brought forth by the House.
Dershowitz took it a step futher, saying, "I would be making the very same constitutional argument had Hillary Clinton, for whom I voted, been elected, and had a Republican House voted to impeach her on these unconstitutional grounds. I am here today because I love my country and our Constitution."
He added, "I stood for the rights of Bill Clinton, who I admired, and whose impeachment I strongly opposed. I stand against the application and misapplication of the constitutional criteria in every case and against any president, without regard to whether I support his or her parties or policies."
