Look, you do what you can for your client. When the client is this nutcase president, you're gonna make some wild legal arguments.

Any lawyers/more informed people want to break this down? Not sure what he's trying to argue here.
For a little more background on this:
"They'll just appeal, and then appeal again. The point here is mainly to take up lots of time, not to actually win the case."
Trump's attorneys are literally just trying to run the clock until 2020.
And on the Nixon Watergate tapes, how the subpoena process worked:
"They'll just appeal, and then appeal again. The point here is mainly to take up lots of time, not to actually win the case."

And on the Nixon Watergate tapes, how the subpoena process worked:
Well, Trump stole "law and order" from Nixon, so no shocker if he starts saying, "If the President does it, it must be legal."
Give him a chance and he would erase "impeachment" from the dictionary. Donald is fucking insane.
Would modern GOP really be on Nixons side today? Wouldn't he considered extreme left by them?
"EPA? Gubment takeover!"
"EPA? Gubment takeover!"
Man, never thought I would see
"The Watergate investigation was a mistake"
as a fucking take.
Good lord.

They are trying to say every legal precedent in Watergate was wrong.
This was their strongest argument, think about that... this is what they're reduced to. There wasn't even an attempt.
no he'd replace the current definition with "A tool used against false democrat Presidents"
Instead of wondering why burglars were breaking into the hotel, it'd be "what were Democrats hiding in that office?"
He's probably already said that, but Steven Miller ain't no snitch.
If the President can't break laws or even have those crimes investigated then really refusing to leave the White House after a failed election isn't technically against the law
The whole thing is even more ridiculous because it wasn't the last time impeachment happened since Nixon, when they where done with Clinton Ken Starr immediately released the deposition to congress with no objection from the administration or Clinton's AG , recommended impeachment and got it thereafter. You would have to argue that Clinton's impeachment was also bullshit and the day I hear a Republican argue that point is the day pigs will actual fly.
I just hope someone compiles the list of all the politicians who supported Trump until the very end, and which ones backed out & when they backed out. These people need to be out of politics.
So what will the judges and congress do when they still refuse after multiple failed appeals? It's not like our checks and balances system has dealt with a White House that simply refused to follow the law. The judges can't order the military to force Trump/staff/documents to show up anywhere.
