The Democrats are holding another impeachment trial for Donald Trump despite warnings that it is unconstitutional. It is the first time that a citizen is being tried for impeachment, and the American people may not stand for it.
According to many law professors and constitutionalists, impeaching Trump is a misinterpretation and miscarriage of the US constitution. But the DEMS are intent on doing so.
Sources say that South Carolina-based lawyer Butch Bowers will spearhead the former president s defense in the Senate s proceedings. He is accused of insurrection and charged with insurrection. Most of those who heard his speech on January 6 says it is an incorrect interpretation, reported Epoch Times.

So, who is Butch Bowers?
Bowers, a South Carolina native and graduate of Tulane University School of Law, is no stranger to defending politicians embroiled in ethical scandals. Although, as would be the case for nearly anyone, representing a former president in a Senate impeachment trial for incitement of insurrection is a new level entirely.
Butch Bowers, whose given name is Karl Smith Bowers Jr., is perhaps best known for representing then-South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford in 2009. The GOP-majority legislature considered impeaching the Republican governor when he admitted to lying to aides about hiking the Appalachian trail but was actually with his mistress in Argentina. Sanford was ultimately censured instead.
