Conway told CNN this morning that President Donald Trump's legal team was 'treating the Senate like they're morons. It's just outrageous.'
Conservative attorney George Conway, who's also the husband of Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway, appeared on CNN Wednesday to discuss the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump from a legal viewpoint. Conway, one of the president's loudest online critics, said he believed that Trump's legal team were making"deceptive arguments" in the president's defense.
In Conway's view, the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Trump should not center around whether he was legally allowed to withhold funds from Ukraine, but why the withholding occurred in the first place. "But that isn't what happened here," Conway continued."[Trump] just cut it off without any reason 91 minutes after he made this outrageous demand of President Zelenzkiy. And that's the difference. The depths to which Trump's lawyers will go to make these deceptive arguments, I mean they're treating the American public, they're treating the Senate like they're morons. It's just outrageous.
"It's a very specific day of reckoning for the Republican senators who took this oath and the Republican party generally," he said."Are they going to stand for lies instead of truth? Are they going to stand for gaslighting instead of reality? Are they going to just do the bidding of this one man and put his interests over those of the country? That's what this is about.
