Trump picks Fox News lawyers Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr to defend him during impeachment: CNN

Published

on

President Donald Trump has added some new names to his legal defense team for his impeachment trial — and all of them make frequent appearances on Fox News.

According to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, “Ken Starr, Alan Dershowitz and Robert Ray are all expected to join President Trump’s legal team” ahead of his Senate trial.

According to Collins, Dershowitz is expected to speak before the United States Senate “to address the constitutional arguments against impeachment and removal.”

Starr is best known for serving as the special prosecutor whose report led to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. Dershowitz, meanwhile, has become infamous in recent months for his past work representing accused billionaire child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who was a longtime friend of both Clinton and Trump.

All three of the men tapped by the president regularly offer legal analysis on Fox News and they have all claimed that the case against the president does not meet the threshold for removing him from office.

All you need to do to see how the GOP has ‘sunk’ is compare Romney to Rubio: conservative columnist

Published

on

Conservative Washington Post columnist Max Boot looked at the principled speech Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) made this week and contrasted it with the pathetic undoing of his colleague Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).

Writing Thursday, Boot explained that the history of the collapse of the Republican Party can be perfectly captured in the way both senators behaved during the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

"I was an unpaid foreign policy adviser to both men: for Romney in 2012 and Rubio in 2016," Boot explained. "After their votes on impeachment — Romney was the lone Republican to vote for conviction (on the abuse-of-power charge), while Rubio joined the rest of his party in acquitting President Trump despite overwhelming evidence of his guilt — I felt prouder than ever of my work for Romney and more ashamed than ever of my work for Rubio."

Trump just had a weapons-grade crazy post-impeachment tantrum — here are the most insane moments

Published

on

President Donald Trump on Thursday held an hour-long address to the American people in which he attacked his political opponents and shouted expletives while Republican lawmakers cheered him on.

The president's angry tirade included attacks on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), and also featured some bizarre off-the-cuff ramblings about his Republican allies.

Below are the most insane moments from the president's post-impeachment rant.

1.) Trump says that Rep. Steve Scalise's (R-LA) wife really loves him because she was visibly upset after he got shot.

While Trump attacks Mitt Romney’s faith — at home Utah is celebrating him

Published

on

President Donald Trump released an attack ad video on Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) after he spoke out that he took an oath before God and intended to keep it. He was the only one. What followed was a kind of political crucifixion by Republicans and Fox News.

Instead of celebrating the president's State of the Union address, Fox News spent the night attacking Romney. MAGA Twitter users blew up with their own attacks, egged on by Donald Trump Jr., who was triggered by Romney's speech. He called Romney "bitter" at Trump, because Romney lost the election almost 10 years ago.

Newspapers in Romney's state beg to differ with the president and his mob of digital henchmen. Deseret News called it a paradox that voters demand political courage, but then criticize those who use it.
