Chinese term or phrase: 道贯古今横贯中外

反正他真是道贯古今横贯中外，把很多的这个案例都扯进来，就要证明自己是无辜的，自己应该被无罪释放。
Thanks.

citing (legal) cases old and new, from home and abroad

Explanation:
From the context, I think 道贯古今 should be 纵贯古今。道贯古今 (or sometimes 道冠古今) is usually used to describe somebody (for example, Confucius) whose Way (道）or philosophy is unequaled throughout history.

I'm afraid the translation provided is a bit prosaic compared to the original Chinese phrase. But it captures the meaning, and I hope it will provide you with something to work on.
