The claim that impeachment "subverts" the will of the people is bizarre on its face. Was it subverting the will of the people when Clinton was impeached? How could any impeachment - which is, of course, in the Constitution - be pursued without the prospect of removing an elected president? To suggest, as Trump's response does, that impeachment is "a dangerous attack on the right of the American people to freely choose their President," is to assert that the Framers were out of their minds for including impeachment in the Constitution in the first place. And Trump probably shouldn't raise the issue of "the will of the people" to "freely choose their President," when he lost the election by 3,000,000 votes.
Trump's Perverse Impeachment Defense: He Should Not Be Impeached Even If He's Guilty
The will of the people want witnesses and documents. I'm sure the defense will be arguing the will of the people be recognized.
