President Trumpâs defense team released their official memorandum on Sunday, wherein they assert the Democratsâ articles of impeachment âsubvert Constitutional standards.â
The defense states âthe articles fail to state impeachable offenses as a matter of lawâ and are âdefined by subjective intent alone,â writing:
âHouse Democrats cannot salvage their unprecedented âabuse of powerâ standard with fuzzy claims that the Framers particularly intended impeachment to address âforeign entanglementsâ and âcorruption of elections.â

Those assertions are makeweights that distort history and add no legitimacy to the radical theory of impeachment based on subjective motive alone. Under the Constitution, impeachable offenses must be defined under established law. And they must be based on objective wrongdoing, not supposed subjective motives dreamt up by a hostile faction in the House and superimposed onto a Presidentâs entirely lawful conduct.â
