President Trumps defense team put Hunter Biden and former President Barack Obama on trial on Monday during the impeachment case in the Senate, questioning why Democrats werent outraged about Mr. Bidens $3 million sweetheart deal with a Ukrainian gas company or Mr. Obamas caving to Russia on missile defense.
Brushing past Democrats renewed calls for former White House National Security Adviser John R. Bolton to testify, the presidents attorneys essentially put Hunter Biden in the witness chair to show that Mr. Trump had plenty of reasons to urge Ukraines president to open a corruption probe of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden and his son.
Does it merit an inquiry that a corrupt company in a corrupt country is paying our vice presidents son $1 million per year? Trump attorney Eric Herschmann asked on the Senate floor. Did he know anything about the natural gas industry at all? Of course not.
To point out the absurdity of Democrats impeachment standards, Mr. Herschmann also brought up Mr. Obamas private conversation in March 2012 with then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, caught on a hot mic, in which he pleaded for space from Moscow until after his reelection to negotiate on missile defense systems.
President Obama knew the importance of missile defense in Europe but decided to use that as a bargaining chip with the Russians to further his own election chances in 2012, Mr. Herschmann told senators. President Obama used the powers of the presidency in a manner that compromised the national security of the United States. The case against President Obama would have been far stronger than the allegations against President Trump.

Epic.
Nice.
Look at what was said on CNN... Tapper looks like he wants to cry as it is being said

Even their analyst said Biden was sleazy
Getting rid of Biden opens it up for Hillary, especially since it looks like Bloomy is a dud.
Are they too stupid to see Hillary is a dud, too?
They have no one. They have to enlist Oprah or Michelle to have a chance.
Maybe they should try Meghan Markle, The Queen of Woke.
“Getting rid of Biden opens it up for Hillary, especially since it looks like Bloomy is a dud”.
Yep, Hillary will quit her lucrative gig at that college in Scotland in a NY minute if it looks good for her.
I think that even the Democrats think that 2020 is a long shot. They will either offer up a sacrificial lamb (Biden, Sanders, even Hillary) or make a Hail Mary play (I guess Oprah or the Mooch). The 2024 players want to be close, but not get the nomination. That would be Gabbard or Buttigieg. Not sure where Warren fits in. Too old for a fresh face. Probably a sacrificial lamb to get her off the power broker’s backs.
If it is going to be a sacrificial lamb they should do Sanders. It will keep a lot of the base happy
“Getting rid of Biden opens it up for Hillary, especially since it looks like Bloomy is a dud.”
Shhhh! Bloomberg promised to spend his billions defeating Trump. We want to encourage that expenditure of his wealth; welcome him to the campaign!
President Trump will treat hime like the old school bop ‘em bag we had as kids, while Bloomberg maniacally spends.
Time for Benghazi to make an appearance.
That’s amazing coming from that nutcase on CNN. Thanks for that link.
“I think that even the Democrats think that 2020 is a long shot”.
We’d better start preparing for 2024 with someone like Pompeo.
Oprah representing the US on the world stage? I can’t stand the woman. My sister bought me a subscription to O magazine and I changed the address to hers.
What kind of narcissist has herself on every cover of her magazine?
Impeachment, Dershowitz argued, required criminal-like conduct akin to treason and bribery. He stressed: This is the key point in this impeachment case purely non-criminal conduct including abuse of power and obstruction of Congress [the charges against Trump] are outside the range of impeachable offenses.
“....claims by Democrats like Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), who said the House could do what it wanted, were wrong: It would place Congress above the law. It would place Congress above the Constitution.
would be for Congress to do what it is accusing the president of doing. And no one is above the law.
Dems and their cheerleaders in the media, have been ignoring Burisma and the Bidens. It must be shocking to hear it today.
Bidn has FINALLY started to fall in the polls, and bernie has ascended to the number one spot, so it would appear that the impeachment circus may be taking a toll on bidn, and thus the Dems are now faced with their Big Bernie Problem, because there’s no way in hell this country is ready to elect an avowed communist, thus another unintended consequence of the continuously backfiring impeachment ...
May as well just forget anything Obama did. Black democrats are never held accountable for anything with our current leftist media.
I read that and nearly shot beer out my nose. Are there really people in America who still believe that?
There's two people right there who are very much "above the law". Please prove me wrong Bill Barr.
And the sweet thing about that is, the Dems forced it to happen and it will not go away as fast as the impeachment will after Dershowitz pout it in its coffin...they stained their main candidate in their hateful rush to put forth an unconstitutional ‘impeachment’...
