Old McConnell had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm, he had some facts, E-I-E-I-O
With a cherry-pick here and a cherry-pick there
Here a pick, there a pick
Everywhere a pick pick
Old McConnell had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

“If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment,” asserted Dershowitz.
The law professor went on to say that if a president were to tell a foreign leader he was going to withhold funds unless his foreign counterpart built a hotel with his name on it and gave him a million-dollar kickback, “That’s an easy case. That’s purely corrupt and in the purely private interest.”
“But a complex middle case is: ‘I want to be elected. I think I’m a great president. I think I’m the greatest president there ever was. And if I’m not elected, the national interest will suffer greatly,’ ” Dershowitz said. “That cannot be an impeachable offense.” (Washington Post)
