Trump Lawyers Show Video of Democrats Demanding Impeachment as Early as 2017

After Democrats showed a video of Trump urging his supporters to action before a mob attacked the Capitol, the former president’s lawyers offered a video of their own: It showed a procession of Democrats in Congress demanding Trump’s impeachment starting as early as 2017.

“This is nothing less than the political weaponization of the impeachment process,” Trump attorney David Schoen said, driven by “base hatred.”

“Pure raw sport, fueled by the misguided idea of party over country, when in fact both will surely suffer,” he said, predicting the U.S. standing in the world would suffer. “Our archenemies who pray each and every day for our downfall will watch with glee,” he said.

Democrats in the Senate chamber exchanged expressions of disapproval as Schoen raised the specter of a second Civil War and, citing the effect on Trump’s supporters, shouted “disenfranchise!”
