Realistically if you read the articles of impeachment, listen to the witnesses, and analyze the evidence, it is very clear that Trump was impeached because a large group of career diplomats & career foreign policy officials came forward to reveal Trump's reckless abuse of power.
Trump's team has skipped right over arguing that he's innocent, and gone straight to three LIES:
- The investigation was illegal so it doesn't matter what it found.
- Dems are trying to overturn 2016 election.
- And, that a POTUS can't be impeached for abuse of power.

House Managers respond to Trump's filing:
"Rather than honestly address the evidence against him, the President's latest filing makes the astounding claim that pressuring Ukraine to interfere in our election ... is the President's way of fighting corruption. It is not."
