Canāt be said enough: Fuck Dershowitz.
Trumpās veiled pushback against the special counselā¦
Veiled?Does Alan have tenure?
Just asking.
Firing Comey and then announcing to the Russian Ambassador it was because of the Russia investigation is plenty of"Probable Cause", Both of them must be on drugs
Iām beginning to think the president might be preoccupied with something.
Trump is not acting as an innocent man. He has not yet been proven guilty of anything but narcissism, shallowness, crassness, dishonesty, pettiness, bullying, and fear of his personal digressions being found out. Should be enough to disqualify him from holding any political office let alone the Presidency.
His default behavioral tendencies and ill-conceived policies could by themselves dangerously weaken our country even without any misbehavior related to Russia. However, his behavior, to even a disinterested casual observer, suggests underlying criminality, even treason itself. If Russians helped put a crime family in our Oval Office, we could be destroyed. And Trump certainly acts as if he is Putinās yoyo.
We must find out.
Keep at it, Donny. Ever more evidence of the corrupt intent element of obstruction of justice.
Trump Cites Harvard Prof Doucheowitzā¦
Fixed
Donāt forget telling Lester Holt in a nationally televised interview that he fired Comey because of the Russia investigations.
āDemocratic Harvard professorāā¦cāmon media. Quit helping Trump with his BS. Dershowitz hasnāt been a Democrat since Trump arrived on the scene.
People undecided about what decision to make over something vexing them seek out validation from others as a first step. Trump is building a case in his mind using the thoughts and recommendations of others. Additionally, Trump prefers to have fall guys he can blame mistakes on. Essentially, āHey, he told me to do it, talk to him about this mess!!ā
We donāt know how long the list of people telling him to fire Mueller needs to be before he pulls the trigger, but there is certainly a number, a tipping point, when that list is sufficient in Trumpās mind to act.
The clock is ticking.
[Trump:] So stated by Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz.
Iām pretty sure Trump does not want to take a poll of Harvard Law professors on this question.
Emeritus.
Itās not about his party affiliation; itās more that heās grateful for some of Trumpās actions, mostly but not entirely related to Israel.

Thatās right.
Whether there was probable cause regarding collusion with Russia may be debatable, though the weight falls heavily on the āyesā side. The same might be true about Comeyās firing on the day it happened. But when a man goes on national TV the next day and says, āI fired him because he was investigating me about Russiaā, anyone who doubts probable cause for obstruction of justice should return their law degree and slink off into the sunsetā¦
Thatās the sort of crap you spout when youāre angling for a job in the administration. Trump loves sycophants. The quickest route in is to stroke his frail ego and back up his idiotic beliefs and preconceptions.
I hate that he puts me in the position of making the accusation, but yeah, heās an āIsrael, right or wrongā kind of guy and he totally loves Trumpās pandering to Israel, especially the crap about making Jerusalem the capital. Also seem to me that he somewhat lost his mind on 9-11, heās definitely lost his legal fastball, heās always been a media whore and heās very very entrenched in defense-minded analysisā¦probably more and more so as his brain ages and loses plasticity.
I was opposed to the selection of Mueller to be Special Council.
Heās not Special āCouncil,ā Trump. Youāre going to learn that ignorance isnāt bliss.
Dershowitz has a huge bias: Israel. Whatever he might believe it can be twisted if Israel is tangentially involved. And since Trump is now Israel BFF, there is no contradiction to his principles big enough to remotely oppose him. Same thing with torture, Dershowitz was OK with torture as long as the enemies of Israel are the ones suffering. And all muslims are Israels enemies.
