President Trump is adding three seasoned lawyers to his impeachment legal defense team, the White House confirmed, including Kenneth Starr, the hard-charging prosecutor whose work led to President Bill Clinton's impeachment.

Alan Dershowitz, the constitutional lawyer, and Robert Ray, Starr's successor at the Office of Independent Counsel during the Clinton administration, are also joining the team, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement.The three are expected to join a legal team headed by White House counsel Pat Cipollone and outside attorney Jay Sekulow, who are still expected to deliver statements on the President's behalf on the Senate floor.

"I will go into the history of the formulation in the Constitution and the history of how these words came to be and leave it to others to argue the facts, to make strategic decisions about witnesses. That's not within my jurisdiction."Dershowitz referred to himself as an"advocate against impeachment."Starr, Dershowitz and Ray are expected to play a constitutional and historic role during the proceedings to support Cipollone and Sekulow.

smerconish Ick.

smerconish We'll be judge of that

smerconish Uao how much you hate Donald Trump

smerconish Dershowitz is an embarrassment to Harvard and the rule of law. 1)Plotting to get a foreign power to affect an election. 2)Blocking witnesses and evidence from Congress. are not high crimes. But lying about a blowjob is?

smerconish He didn’t answer the question!

smerconish Remind Dersh to wear his lucky underwear when he gives his performance to the Senate.

smerconish Alan is an idiot who is simply trying to distract from the real issues.

smerconish How did Dershowitz build a reputation when a homeless drunk in the park makes more sense?

smerconish And Alan is a comedian as well... he’s appearing where the $ are being paid... the constitution 🙄my ass

smerconish The Constitution respectfully requests a change of counsel. It wants a real constitutional scholar, not a character who only plays a constitutional lawyer on TV.

smerconish If he’s going to base everything on the constitution the Democrats are going to be lost they won’t even know what he’s talking about

smerconish Two birds of a feather👇🏾

smerconish The dangerous precedent being set here is that a President will be able to do whatever the hell he wants if his party controls either part of Congress.

smerconish His going to turn this trial into a real circus.

smerconish I favor of a royal presidency? Will he address the Fedralist Papers?

smerconish Dershowitz is now an unapologetic Trump stooge. His once unsullied reputation as a defense lawyer is in ruins.

smerconish my question still has yet to be answered...will he be able to keep his underwear on this time as well? I mean, I really wouldn't want him raping the Constitution...

smerconish I think Americans can simplify it on their own. Doubt the founding fathers thought it was fine for POTUS to exploit his power for personal gain, or ignore the equal power & rules of government. If it doesn’t prevent abuse of power it’s useless.That Sums it up.

smerconish Good interview. We actually learn something when it’s not hyper-partisan squealing

smerconish So he’s like what, an opening act?

smerconish There go the liberals. Trying to trash one of their own, just because he is trying to do the right thing, defend the constitution.

smerconish Why are you spreading his propaganda?

smerconish Alan is a trumpet and as useless as trump

smerconish He can get on any media outlet he wants spreading propaganda that’s why trump chose him period full stop

smerconish Dear US Senate, ' Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. ' - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - WERE COMING! Ready..Aim... yourefired2020 -

smerconish He’s down to the pedophile lawyers.

smerconish Whose Constitution is he talking about?

smerconish Yeah, and who believes that

smerconish oooo he wrote a book ...so did ivanka, what else you got ?

smerconish To me, what is funnier is how CNN keeps inviting those guys to a conversation were we all know their ways. Who in gods name doesn't know at this point what Dershowitz thinks? And how he feels about the president and everything? They are giving their time to the disinformation...

smerconish So the Trump impeachment is going to start with a lie about the Constitution from a member of his legal team? Sounds about right.

smerconish Doucheowitz

smerconish This is the stupidest impeachment in all the history of the United States of America. 🙄

smerconish Can’t the constitution choose a better defender?

smerconish The failed left have no case it's nothing but NONSENSE!!😝😝😝

smerconish That perv does not represent the constitution . Just an fyi kids.

smerconish this man is an idiot ...this is going to make great tv because he will think he is on fox news

smerconish Fake on both of you

smerconish 5 years ago, I would have counted Alan Dershowitz as one of the best and most provocative legal minds in the country. Now, I just watch him in horror as he demolishes that reputation with every nonsensical defense of Trump. It's truly sad to watch.

smerconish He still can’t say he is trump’s lawyer. He wants the spotlight without having the stench of trump on him.

Just when you think fake news cnn ratings hit bottom but after Lenon head it has more to go.

Sucks to be on the fake news end of this. Cnn sucks

Who's on Lemon's defense team against a sexual assault lawsuit brought against him?

CNN fake fake fake

😂 calling them tv lawyers while they have more experience in a court room then both your guest. Not to mention they are literally on tv doing sound bites for you fake news cnn

I guess Perry Mason was busy ?

Trump, in office, he shall stay.

And gave Epstein that sweet plea deal for raping 13byear olds.
