In a meandering, convoluted interview late Saturday, Donald Trump s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani insisted the Supreme Court can dismiss the presidents impeachment .

He called the action unconstitutional, even though impeachment is written into the Constitution.

Claiming that the abuse of power and the ridiculous obstruction of Congress impeachment articles against Trump are essentially fabricated, Giuliani told Jeanine Pirro on Fox News that the remedy is to go before the Supreme Court and have the impeachment declared unconstitutional.

The rules are set by the Senate, Giuliani explained. Then the chief justice interprets the rules. The chief justice will be given the power to dismiss.

Yet, he also acknowledged that theres nothing in the Constitution that would allow the Supreme Court to do that. Pirro appeared mystified and repeatedly pressed Giuliani to focus.

In yet another breath, Giuliani said the upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate would be good for Trump because hell be acquitted.

I can even argue that politically it would be better to go to trial! he said. Theyll find out about [Joe] Biden, theyll find out what a big crook Biden is. Giuliani has yet to detail any incidents of illegal or unethical behavior by Biden nor has he provided any substantiation for his accusations.

Trump later tweeted Giulianis clip, writing, Thank you Rudy!

Giuliani tweeted earlier this week that the Supreme Court should declare the impeachment unconstitutional. His arguments were dismissed by legal experts.
