Alan Dershowitz, a former impeachment lawyer for President Donald Trump, completely dismantled the usual opening swing of Trump lawyer Bruce Castor at an argument during a Senate lawsuit Tuesday.
‘There is no argument. I have no idea what it does. I have no idea why he is saying what he says, ‘Dershowitz told Newsmax Tuesday as Castor’ s 47 – minute opening statement was in progress. ‘I don’t understand it, he might take it home, but right now I don’t think it’s an effective application.’
In Castor’s first lawsuit the lawyer removed seniors – including Democratic Sens. Bob Casey, from Castor’s home state in Pennsylania, and Ben Sasse, Trump’s main Republican critic – praise the House managers’ argument, criticizing the violence at the Capitol, admitting that President Joe Biden has won elect them and argue that political speech should not be penalized. .
Former President Trump’s impeachment lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, dismissed the opening statement made by Trump’s current impeachment lawyer, Bruce Castor, telling Newsmax, ‘Nothing i know what he is doing. I have no idea why he says what he says’
Trump lawyer Bruce Castor made a heartbreaking opening statement at the Senate lawsuit Tuesday, in which he praised the senators, including the two Pennsylvanians he knew, and did not talk much about The basis of the test case
Trump’s second trial in the Senate began Tuesday with a strange opening speech by lawyer Castor. Former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said Castor should be replaced by Rep. Matt Gaetz, a former best friend of the vice president
Aside from those key news stories, it was hard to follow Castor ‘s curved opening machine.
Dershowitz shook his head when asked about the scene.
‘He’s got it, I’m a nice guy, I like my grandparents, I know my grandparents, the grandparents are good people,’ Dershowitz said. ‘Come on, the American people have a right to an argument, a constitutional argument,’ the former Trump lawyer urged.
Dershowitz rightly estimated that Trump’s second lawyer, David Schoen, would talk more about what should have been the former president’s team’s main argument: that it is a non-legislative issue- impeachment law for vice president.
The Senate subsequently voted 56-44 that the trial could proceed.
Dershowitz was sad that Castor didn’t go in the first place.
‘But this … just … after all sorts of strong demonstrations on the part of the House managers with the videotapes and the emotional speech by Congressman Raskin, my former student, you rise to the that and you respond, ‘Dershowitz said.
‘We know hard things make bad law,’ he continued. ‘I might have started with that. This is a tough issue, it is an emotional issue. He said, and I think rightly so, that everyone wants revenge when they see a horrific incident that happened at the Capitol, but then it went away. ‘
Dershowitz also couldn’t believe Castor spent his opening minutes playing footsy with the seniors.
‘And you know, the elders of the United States, they are not ordinary people. There are amazing people in the technical sense, amazing people, ‘Castor said.
‘I’ve been around US senators before. There are two of them in this room from Pennsylvania and I would like to think that they are friendly to me or at least friends to me when we are not making a bad political impact, ‘he said.
The message was addressed to Democrat Casey and Republican Sen. Pat Toomey.
Toomey later voted with the Democrats that the Senate lawsuit was constitutional.
So did Sasse, who also signed Castor.
‘Maybe he knows the elders better than I do, maybe they want to be raised, maybe they want to be told what great people they are and how it is knows two grandfathers, ‘continued Dershowitz. ‘But boy this is not the kind of argument I would have made, I’ll tell you that.’
Trump was warned.
On Friday, White House deputy trade adviser Peter Navarro told Newsmax that Castor should be hit.
‘That lawyer you put on, you get rid of those people. These people do not understand. This is a political test, ‘Navarro said after a snippet of Castor was released.
Instead, Navarro persuaded Trump to fire the legal team and replace those lawyers with a Florida Republican representative. Matt Gaetz, who said he would resign from Congress to defend the former president.
