Did we really just hear Alan Dershowitz argue, during the question and answer period of the impeachment proceedings, that Donald Trump’s demand for a foreign investigation to aid his re-election might not evidence a corrupt intent because Mr. Trump may sincerely believe that his re-election is in the national interest?
