I don't recall that argument being made -I watched both impeachments, live. That claim by council was breathtaking.
This piece from Colbert seems to be referencing the first impeachment, as it is talking about "quid pro quo". Again, Dershowitz's "national interest" argument is breathtaking in it's implications.
According To Alan Dershowitz, Anything Trump Does Is Legal If It's Done In Pursuit Of His Reelectionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXXPRImhn_Ethere's no chance that anyone would actually accept it. Trump was acquitted, twice, so there is precedent for the "national interest" argument supporting anything he does.
