I have been watching the events unfold at the Senate by the House Managers
as well as the Defense for the President and not once have I heard anyone
talk about this independent body of the government. You know why because it
is irrelevant and nothing more then a ruse to try to smear the President.

Again you may outline all you wish, that does not change the FACT that
what he is accessed with is a crime, because it is not a crime.
Not even remotely.
Article I
Abuse of Power
Article II
Obstruction of Congress
According to Alan Dershowitz it does not this attempt of impeachment does not
meet Constitutional standards.
