Trump’s Lawyers Were ‘Disorganized,’ Senator Cassidy Says
Senator Bill Cassidy, Republican of Louisiana, said that “the House managers made a compelling, cogent case and the president’s team did not” on the issue of whether the impeachment trial was constitutional.
I said I’d be an impartial juror. Anyone listening to those arguments, the House managers were focused, they were organized, they relied upon both precedent, the Constitution and legal scholars. They made a compelling argument. President Trump’s team were disorganized. They did everything they could but to talk about the question at hand. And when they talked about it, they kind of glided over it, almost as if they were embarrassed of their arguments. Now, I’m an impartial juror, and one side’s doing a great job and the other side’s doing a terrible job on the issue at hand, as an impartial juror I’m going to vote for the side that did the good job. They talked about many things, but they didn’t talk about the issue at hand. And so if you, if I’m an impartial juror and I’m trying to make a decision based upon the facts as presented on this issue, then the House managers did a much better job. The issue at hand is, is it constitutional to impeach a president who’s left office? And the House managers made a compelling, cogent case and the president’s team did not.
