    Dershowitz has a lot of reasonable points in favor of his arguments, but this is not one of them.https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1222600255369359362 …

        If a POTUS does something that is otherwise legal, & his asserted public purpose is basically to pander to voters to win re-election? Sure, then Dershowitz is right. But that doesn't deal with the issue of leveraging Congressionally-appropriated funds to generate campaign dirt.

        There'd be no significant abuse of power in Trump asking Ukraine to cooperate with a DOJ probe of the Bidens. But that's not what's under discussion: it's pressing for 1) help w/ Rudy's private investigation & 2) what appears to be a press-release-only Ukrainian "investigation."

        He worded it poorly. Dersh is trying to say that, if a president does something he believes to be in the public interest, but also helps him politically, then he cannot be impeached.

        I think he meant does something that is "not illegal", which, is kind of the justification most politicians use for dirty tricks.

        These issues mostly defy the resolving power of abstract principles. It's understood that presidents act in their self-interest. Motives are vague; concrete actions are not. In this case, Ukraine got the aid within the time limit.

        Ive been saying this since the Russian hoax. I didn't know a political leader had a duty to try not to get dirt on political opponents. If an act is legal, such as threatening to withhold aid, it shouldn't matter what the subjective motive is. Think pretextual stop

        President does something that will result in higher employment because it will help him get re-elected. Impeachable?

        FWIW this is a statement that sounds 'edge case bad' - a statement of outcome that implies potential for bad things while still correct and appropriate. Like "Parents should choose their kids' school" when the potential exists they could send their kids to a Nazi school.
