- Trump's lawyers say a president can get away with crimes if Congress doesn't find out about it while they're in office.
- If a president leaves before Congress can impeach and convict, they're home free, Trump's lawyers say.
- The Constitution's framers "assumed the risk of under-enforcement," his lawyer told the Supreme Court.
As the saying goes: It's not the crime; it's the cover-up.
