Trump Lawyers: Impeachment Disallows Federal = Charges
Nikki Grace
Many good arguments for dismissal, first round of judge may not work but appeal can.

Tim adds:
I don't think this argument will fly, primarily because impeachment is a political act and not a legal one. I don't think SCOTUS, or any lower court, will go with this, although I hope they do.
If you can't try a sitting President you shouldn't be able to try one who has been found not guilty by Congress for the very charges of which he is now criminally accused.
But in our era of bare-knuckle politics and politicized prosecutions I doubt any judge will shut this bandwagon down. Whoever does that will face a huge amount of pressure and may even face impeachment from office if the Donkeys take power.

This article touches on the nuances of the legal vs. political realms. It reinforces the idea that these two spheres, while intersecting, maintain distinct operations. This situation showcases why appointing a criminal barrister with a proven track record is key. A seasoned barrister understands these complexities and can navigate the murky waters of law and politics. Just as in non-political legal battles, having someone who's adept at discerning these subtleties is essential for a fair representation and outcome.
