'If somebody abused power and asked a foreign government to come in and that's proven to be true, that's a very serious charge.' -Sen. Jon Tester reacts to Trump attorney Alan Dershowitz's argument that abuse of power is 'too vague' for impeachment.

Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor emeritus and high-profile defense attorney, argued that Trump cannot be impeached for pressuring Ukraine for investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden because doing so would be aimed at helping his reelection chances. Dershowitz said Trump's motivations would ultimately be fueled by the public interest because he believes his reelection is what's best for the country.

Following Dershowitz's presentation Wednesday, lead House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff assailed the lawyer's argument as"odd." The California Democrat criticized Dershowitz, saying his theory would open the door to rampant abuses from future presidents."All quid pros are not the same," he said."Some are legitimate and some are corrupt, and you don't need to be a mind reader to figure out which is which.

Alan Dershowitz on Trump defense: 'I will not make money on this'Dershowitz says he hasn't yet discussed his legal fees for defending Trump. The bigger question is who will pay Trump's lawyers. It's probably smart of him to assume Trump won't be good for the money, he has a bit of a track record It’s a Sucky job working for trump. No one gets paid and you have to do the sucking. Of course not!! Thats obvious. You didn't do any legal defending. You just said words that sound legal-ish.
