Dershowitz argued that even if Trump did what people accuse him of doing, it didn't rise to the level of an impeachable offense.
Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano disagreed with the argument from President Donald Trump's defense attorney Alan Dershowitz's that even if the president did what people accuse him of doing, without a criminal element, the conduct didn't rise to the level of impeachable.
"That is clear from the language of the Constitution," Dershowitz told senators."You cannot turn conduct that is not impeachable into impeachable conduct simply by using words like 'quid pro quo' and 'personal benefit.'" Several people, including Napolitano, pointed out that in 1998, Dershowitz took the opposite stance when it came to then-President Bill Clinton and his impeachment trial. During an interview with CNN, Dershowitz said you don't"need technical crime," to remove a president from office if they abuse trust and pose"great danger to our liberty."
