Arguing in the alternative

[DemocratSinceBirth]

"Say you sue me because you claim my dog bit you. Well now, this is my defense: My dog doesn't bite. And second, in the alternative, my dog was tied up that night. And third, I don't believe you really got bit. And fourth, I don't have a dog."

-Racehorse Haynes

Say you indict my client Donald Trump for conspiring with the Russians. Well now, this is my defense: My client doesn't break thew law. And second, in the alternative, my client isn't bright enough to conspire with anybody. And third, conspiracy is not against the law. And fourth, Donald Trump is not my client.

- Rudy Giuliani
