Alan Dershowitz and Rep. Adam Schiff respond to questions from Sen. Cruz and Sen. Schumer regarding quid pro quo being used in the foreign policy arena.
I'm sorry did he just said. It's okay to involve foreign countries in the elections cause it's in the national interest for trump to win! My mind exploded
This is so NOT FUNNY! This Defense holds NO WATER!! And yet their worthless words are Forced to be considered?? NO! Republicans best pull through, not for Party, not for Trump, but, for THE PEOPLE!!
It was a hypothetical scenario inside Trump’s head. Trump may think (let’s be honest, he definitely does with his ego lol) he’s a great president, thus his re-election is in the national interest. Meaning, the national interest is integrated into his motive. Thus, it is not a purely corrupt intent. I believe that is what Dershowitz meant in the hypothetical used in his argument. Albeit, an odd one.
James Oxford it’s not literally the same. Dershowitz is saying what the president is being accused of satisfies the necessary conditions for impeachment. If you want to see the example you are using, it’s not a lie if you believe it, you would would to refer to Clinton’s defence for committing perjury .... you’ve got to understand what is is. That was literally the Comstamza defence.
It's so refreshing to see Trump's team and Schiff speak about the same topic one after the other. Really highlights the difference in logic, nuance and eloquence in their talking points.
@Purple Mountain Tsampa When the four American heroes that died in Benghazi get justice for the crimes of Secretary of State Clinton and the Obama Administration. If what the Dems say is true, NOBODY is above the law.. That includes the crimes of Clinton.
Neither the Bidens nor Trump have done anything illegal, that's what everyone is missing. this whole thing is empty. Sure what they both did is gross or swampy but not illegal. So both sides are throwing as much shit as they can and no one is going to get any of it to stick to either Trump or Biden.
@@FlyingJay117 you must be blind as a bat.... no innocent person mobilizes everything in their arsenal to block everything that would exonerste them from from coming to light....... a non partisan agency issued a statemnt that withholding the aid was unlawful...... no president was given the keys to the most powerful office to use that influence to get other countries to interefer in the american election.
Richardo a “non-partisan” agency? So you mean a left wing agency that calls itself non-partisan? The agency you speak of said it was their OPINION that withholding the aid broke the law, not that it was a FACT that they broke the law. You know what an opinion is, right? You should also know the GAO (so called non partisan agency) has had to reverse many of their past OPINIONS.

Adam Schiff blew Dershowitz out of the water today. Dershowitz said all presidents do quid pro quo and gave an example. Schumer saw a horrible response so asked that the House delegation respond to the same question Dershowitz answered. Schiff gave a remarkable explanation with examples how some quid pro quos are okay and some are impeachable. It was like in basketball where Schiff and Dershowitz both leap up for a rebound with Schiff grabbing the ball away from Dershowitz and slamming it into the basket and coming down on top of Dershowitz.
Obstruction creates distance in true narratives. Yet he's arguing that the president obstructed our government checks and investigations. And he did. Go watch Comey who is a Republican state what Trump did. Go look at the report that the DOJ released on Trump's actions. The DOJ is headed by William Barr but you know he's never defended Trump or Republican interests. *Sarcasm* SMH shake my mother fucking head.
There is SO much wrong with this. Funny how the dems WAIT til they get to the senate to want to being out a witness. They had no case with the house but because the dems have the house they push it through then want the senate to their work that they should have done to begin with! They will try ANYTHING to keep this going and its our tax dollars. Schiff is a total liar and corrupt. He's a snake who's lying as long as his lips are moving.
Mels InTheKnow with all due respect, they did ask for witnesses and documents during the house impeachment hearings. Mr. Trump would not release any documents and blocked anyone from testifying. This whole “no evidence” argument is invalid. I believe if Trump is innocent, he should take the stand and/or allow others to testify on his behalf. I know if I’m accused of something (and innocent), id be there bright and early giving my side of the story and Id want everyone I know in there defending me. And I definitely couldn’t say “I’m not going and you’re not having any of the evidence, documents or witnesses.” I know he’s the president but my god you’d think he was king.
@@sydney9920 Adam Schiffy and the Dirty Dems did not have witnesses and any evidence even though Schiffy kept saying over and over oh he had something and so they got to senate ONLY because they owned the house and now that there in senate they want to do what they should have done in the house! Theres a lawful process to it and yet schiffy just thinks he can make up the rules as he goes along. And Trumps defense was NOT allowed witnesses AND the dems had their little gang get togethers in basement behind closed doors and Dirty Dems want to whine about fairness once they got to senate. Hipocracy at its finest. Adam has lied so many times and got caught! He said he met the whistle blower now he's saying he has never met the whistle blower.

This argument is logical. Only regarding the quid pro quo. What about all the heavily redacted transcripts of emails, text messages, and phone calls. Was that in the national interest. 3:29 I don't believe it was in the interest of National Security. That is a cover-up.
What you lay out is so long as a president thinks doing something will get him re elected, and if he thinks he is good for the country, then that action is impeachment. I would like to say it is surprising a legal professor would file a baseless lawsuit but given the demonstration of your understanding of the law(which you directed me to watch) or lack there of, it makes more sense.
What if the Vice President threatened to withhold $1 billion unless the Ukraine fired a prosecutor who was investigating the company his son worked for?
It would only be illegal to ask another country to investigate corruption if one, with political power, intends to join the corruption or to gain control or the benefits of the corruption for himself.
You mean like if you don't fire the DA investigating my son's company for hiring him for a million dollars a year when he knows nothing about the company❓😱❓

First of all, Shifty Schiff..., Dershowitz did not in any way said all quid pro quo are the same, he even highlighted the part where he said two scenarios that were illegal quid pro quo.

I'm Italian - so pardon my english - but I've nonetheless followed the entire live coverage of the impeachment trial on sleepless nights - taking advantage of the time zone - watching session after session intently and uninterruptedly (which not many Americans did, I suppose, and probably not even all of the republican senators in the hall...) I strongly believe that a critical and free thinking cannot develop by disregarding what's happening over the rest of the world, and what the rest of the world thinks of us. I find it crucial for a better understanding of the inherent politic dynamics and to draw parallels and relationships between foreign and local politics and social issues. Sadly most of the voters nowadays live in a nationalistic cultural isolation and depend from mainstream information and social media groupthink, the results being under our eyes. That said, during the progress of the impeachment trial I started to feel that all the defense arguments were driving to that precise point, that is suggesting that Trump's own strong belief of being the Best President Ever Possible as well as a heavenly blessing for America's benefit, and his resulting determination in pursuing this sacred and lofty aim with full strength and at all cost justified every possible president's deed, here included a "noble quid pro quo". But I couldn't even remotely think of defense team going to overtly admit that. So, when I heard Dershowitz uttering these precise words, I jumped on my chair. I felt harassed in my intelligence, I wished I was there in that moment, to slap him in the face and shout them what an utter nonsense they were facing. And, as Schiff promptly and elegantly rebutted that perverse line of thinking, he got my immense gratitude and a - virtual - high five.

I score this round Dershowitz 1, Schiff 0. Schiff's hypo is clearly distinguishable.
America the greates goverment ever created we can all agree on that
So why do some believe in one man istead of the own goverment

This fool spoke to this Whistleblower, who by the way never heard the conversation first hand, before the call. He is the insurance policy Peter and Lisa spoke about!
Trump 2020! 4 more years!
Whata joke......a joke that is not funny anymore.....It's going nowhere and EVERYBODY knows it...even you stupid libtards know it. Attempted coup it is and if there is blood you will be crying at the first sight....globalism and socialism are DEAD
Adam .... Copasetic ?
That's not suave (swahhh- vaaay).
Half our population doesnt even know what it means. You aren't as clever, witty, philosophical, and admired as you believe. Bummer.
Any opinion on Trump's innocence or just deflecting to Adam schiff is a bad guy?
@@matthewgautier5317 No, I don't have an agenda. I'm a retired psychiatric nurse.. My evaluative skills on thoughts and actions didnt stop when I stopped working. He seriously needs to have his thyroid checked. Another thing..Jerry Nadler is not well. Notice the varying shades of his complexion in several vids. He goes from almost normal, to greenish gray. He had a stomach staple procedure previously..those have some rotten side effects.
Nancy needs to stop wearing high heels. If she ever has a good hard fall, she's going to break a hip and probably a femur as well.
Besides, as my father used to say,
"those high heels make her walk like she has a corn cob up her b**t ".
Also, not a medical problem, but she needs to get refitted for her dentures and some super hold denture adhesive. I'm not going to talk about her alcohol consumption.
Something that gives me a chuckle is, the images of Chuck and Nancy standing at the podium, side by side..
It reminds me of that farmer with a pitchfork and his wife picture !
I'll give a "professional" commentary on Trump, Jared K, and McConnell another day.
Lighten up young man, take off the partisan sunglasses and see with your own filters.
@Purple Mountain Tsampa
Huh ? who is we ?
@Purple Mountain Tsampa Half the population was referring to the younger population, not a particular political party.
What's that got to do with you saying you aren't stupid ? I said nothing about you. Why are you so easily triggered ?
Calm down cowboy..breathe
@Purple Mountain Tsampa .
Tell the truth, you thought I was dissing democrats. Copasetic is a word older people use.
You throw tantrums for no reason and call people names.
Not fair to call me "weird" because you made a mistake and interpreted my words incorrectly.
You don't play well with others, huh ?
I like Schiff at least he knows how to answer a question Epstein's lover talked for full 5 minutes and said absolutely nothing 🤦🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️😂
Trump 🇷🇺 for Guantanamo jail 2020👍👍
HA not going to happen! btw did you notice there was 100,000 people at his rally last night in a blue state the ones going to jail is nancy pencil neck and the other liars!
Dershowitz is old and has gone mad. Okay boomer. Now stop and go to the old home.
Democrats doing great
Dershowitz is a great American genius!
