The many faces of Alan Dershowitz (Dershowitz at 5:00 into the video )
Here dershowitz is arguing the opposite stating that Trump is not being charged with a crime implying that impeachment is illegitimate
Will the real Alan dershowitz please stand up?
He's a lawyer. He's paid to defend his client.

Dershowitz joined the impeachment defense team last week.He volunteered for this and says it's his opinion, not said to represent trump.

Regardless, obvious hypocrisy is obvious.
If you believe that, then I've got a bridge to sell you.And, he said he joined to argue that abuse of power is not impeachable, NOT to be trump's lawyer.
Hello? It's screamingly obvious that Dershowitz will invent any claim he can think of to defend Trump, regardless of the truth or any actual laws. That's quite clear based on his conduct for the past 2 years.I was responding to the incorrect claim that Dershowitz is simply creating an argument to benefit trump as his client, pointing out that Dershowitz has been very clearly saying that is not the case.

Dershowitz has been in the tank for Trump for a long time, and it is clear that he has no qualms about contradicting himself in the process. It's not like Trump actually cares about the law, all he cares about is getting his way. There is no justification for Dershowitz's blatant hypocrisy, or for you defending it.

that may be true, but the videos exemplify the fact that he's not arguing what is true, only asserting what he thinks will bamboozle the public and the senate.
That's true enough, and we can disregard his current statements as self serving, because he's clearly not advancing a principle he believes in but whatever standard or principle helps his client.
Furthermore, it's a fringe opinion from what I've seen that impeachment requires an indictable offense. Just for example, if a judge shows up drunk every day, makes bizarre rulings, falls asleep during testimony, etc. clearly and obviously he can and should be impeached and removed, although none of that is a criminal offense. Trump can legally transmit the names of our covert operatives in another country to that country's leader. Is that a crime? No, because the POTUS has the power to classify or declassify. Is it impeachable? Of course it is.
BTW, the clip for Dersh in that first video is at about 5:20.
