Philbin: There Was a Lack of Due Process Because It ‘Was Purely Partisan Impeachment’

PHILBIN: "Why is it that there are all of these defects in the House managers' case for impeachment? Why are they asserting principles like 'Only the guilty would assert privileges'? That's not part of our system of law. Why are they asserting that if the executive resists, the House has the sole power to determine the boundaries of its own power in relation to the executive? Also not something that is in our system of jurisprudence. And why the lack of due process in the proceedings below? I think, as we've explained it, because this was a purely partisan impeachment from the start. It was purely partisan and purely political."
