Trump is a lying fat ass windbag that sings BS to you constantly and you eat it up in gobs. Same with his defense.Ken Starr's testimony was outstanding. He very carefully explained how the House's Articles had no constitutional basis.
The president has the authority to conduct foreign policy, period. The "Rodino Rule" was violated in that for an impeachment to be justified it MUST be bi-partisan. Nixon's was, and Clinton's was, but Trump's was not.
Article-2 is simply void because the subpoenas issued before Resolution 660, the impeachment by the full House are not constitutional. Nancy has no authority to start an impeachment inquiry without the full House vote. Further, Trump has every legal right to "due process" and can have the courts evaluate subpoenas and executive privilege claims.
The defense could have rested right after Ken Starr's summary. It was fantastic.
Starr advised that a crime is essential based on the Constitution in order for the senate to remove a president, and Trump committed no crime.
Bolton's testimony is irrelevant, because it would not allege a crime. No witnesses are needed. The fat lady just sang.
Starr believes that for removal of a president by the senate a serious "high" crime must have been committed by the president.
The House can impeach for non-crimes, as an abuse of their power, but for removal by the senate it needs to be both bi-partisan and a serious crime.
If the House impeachment process isn't bi-partisan and fair, the impeachment should fail.
