I mean, the media and the pundits and the repukes are always mouthing off on this or that law and this or that impeachable offense. If I was a congressman I'd want my own experienced non-partisan attorney who knows his law and knows how to interpret the facts of a case (as well as they can be known before subpoenas start flying, anyways).

2. Yes, each side's caucus in each house of Congress has its own legal |
|
staff. Now-sometime-teevee-pundit Julian Epstein was on the Dem/Senate side during the Clinton impeachment years.
