In today's impeachment trial, Jamie Raskin got universal praise for his opening argument that acquitting Trump would create a "January exception" to the Constitution. His case was so powerful, Trump's lawyers were forced to rewrite their presentation on the spot.
Raskin said, "The January exception is an invitation to our founders' worst nightmare. It's an invitation to the president to take his best shot at anything he may want to do on his way out the door, including using violent means to block the peaceful transfer of power. Their argument is that if you commit an impeachable offense in your last few weeks -- you get away with it."
This is exactly the argument that we previewed in recent days by pumping a TV ad starring Raskin into the nation's capital on MSNBC, FOX, and CNN.
We just made a new rapid response ad featuring Raskin's opening argument today because we need Republican senators to see it over and over again.
When we aired our first Raskin ad, we got positive feedback from people in Congress, reporters, political allies, and activists. It's powerful.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
