I think most freethinking people recognize that an impeachment without charges of a statutory crime is a waste of time.
Apparently, Trump's own defense team disagrees...
On Monday, a 1998 video of Dershowitz appearing on CNN surfaced, showing the former Harvard Professor saying that a president does not have to commit a crime in order to be impeached.
“It certainly doesn’t have to be a crime if you have somebody who completely corrupts the office of president and who abuses trust and who poses great danger to our liberty,” he told CNN more than 20 years ago. “You don’t need a technical crime.”
Dershowitz's 1998 comments on impeachment resurface ahead of Trump trial
Edit: Dershowitz says that he has changed his mind recently. I guess that's what lawyers do.
The GAO however, has found that Trump did in fact break the law, so it's a moot point.
