Sekulow says he wants to emphasize that both articles fail to allege impeachable offenses and must fail. He said that the partisan impeachment process that should never happen again. He said the push for impeachment came from the president’s opponents for the last three years and has put the Senate in a horrible position. He plays video of House Democrats calling for impeachment even before Trump was sworn into office.
Sekulow emphasizes the House tried to usurp the president’s constitutional powers with the first article of impeachment and tried to control the constitutional privileges and immunities of the executive branch with the second while “disrespecting” the framers’ system of checks and balances.
