The times uses the very gentle word, extralegal. Does that mean illegal . Andrew weissmann is going to take us through it and tell us what he sees in that reporting. Excellent. And its really well timed. Tomorrow were going to see the response from the president s defense team, such as it is, to the Impeachment Charges and the Impeachment Charges are about him inciting an insurrection against the u.
