“It is our position, as the president’s counsel, that the president was at all times acting under his constitutional authority, under his legal authority, international interest, and pursuant to his oath of office,” he said. “Asking a foreign leader to get to the bottom of an issue of corruption is not a violation of the oath.”
“It was interesting, because there was a lot of discussions the other day about Lt. Col. Vindman, and one of the things that we reiterate is that he himself said he did not know if there was anything of crime or anything of that nature. He had ‘deep policy concerns.’ I think that is what this is really about, is deep policy concerns, deep policy differences. We live in a constitutional republic where you have deep policy concerns and deep differences. That should not be the basis of impeachment. If the bar of impeachment has now reached that level, then for the sake of the republic, the danger that puts not just this body, but our entire constitutional framework in, is unimaginable,” he stated.
