Democrats’ opening salvo in impeachment: they demand @realDonaldTrump get rid of his lawyer, Pat Cipollone.
Absurd request.
Unlike the House, the Senate will have a FAIR trial. That means we won’t deny the President his lawyer ON THE DAY the trial starts.
The Sixth Amendment provides the accused the right "to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense." Note that the Sixth Amendment does not apply to the prosecution; it protects only the accused.
Under the standard put forth by the House Democrats today – that any potential fact witness cannot serve as counsel in the impeachment hearing – there is an obvious person who should be disqualified: Adam Schiff.
Schiff, it has been alleged, spoke directly with the so-called "whistle-blower" and may even have helped him draft the complaint that launched this entire impeachment.
So, maybe we should disqualify Schiff as a lawyer, and schedule him instead as a witness to explain his role in creating the "evidence" in this proceeding?
Cipollone is not POTUS personal attorney. He is WH counsel, which is designed to be the intersection of law, policy, & politics, on behalf of the American people, not any specific WH occupant. He’s also a friggin defendant in the matter himself!
Doesn't the Sixth Amendment apply only "In all ^criminal prosecutions^..." Is an impeachment trial (especially one with no criminal charges) a criminal prosecution?https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1219664841054543873?s=19 …
Doesn't say the taxpayers should foot the bill to defend someone who is guilty and should be removed.
Did the legal standard change and no one was notified, or is this NEW legal standard only apply to a given group?
