Dershowitz: I have no idea what Trump’s lawyer is doing in opening arguments

Yeah, it was, uh, it was something special. When Newsmax lined up a Trump-friendly expert like Dersh for commentary on the trial, they were obviously expecting glowing praise for Team MAGA. That s not what they got because Trump lawyer Bruce Castor didn t allow for an alternative. Instead of honing in on the question of whether it s constitutional to try a public official who s been impeached after he leaves office, Castor just sort of & talked. Dersh was boxed in and had to tell the truth: It sucked.
