Alan Dershowitz, one of President Donald Trump’s impeachment lawyers, claimed on Thursday that the media “willfully distorted” his shocking argument that presidents can do whatever they want to get reelected because said reelection is “in the public interest”–even though that’s precisely the argument he made.
Dershowitz Claims “Extensive Reading” Reveals He Is New Messiah. Says Detractors Are Biased.
What is the penalty for egregiously bad lawyerin’, when the lawyer in question is egregiously insane?
I just said this on the live blog, but there is no reason for them to walk this back.
If it’s not truth yet, it will be after the Senate acquits him. It’s as simple as that.
I was furious with Morning Edition, which was framing its discussion as “Democrats think” this is terrible, and so-and-so said, yadda yadda yadda. After what Pompeo did to Mary Louise Kelly, NPR still can’t get beyond “both sides” to talk in clear language about the frightening autocratic cast of this administration.
NPR stands for Nice Polite Republicans.
Dershowitz says Prez can do anything, as long as it helps him win re-election. Massive outrage ensues. Dershowitz replies that Dershowitz can say anything, as long as it helps him get attention.
Dershowitz Shorter: ‘If the ends justify the means, there is no such thing as criminality or corruption’.
A true disciple of Epstein.
and is presently being dogged by allegations of having sex with trafficked victims (not able to provide consent due to being trafficked and all).
One thing I am learning from the Senate trial is that the GOP is running out of talking heads that are not morally and criminally compromised. So, “yay”?
I never thought I was the messiah before. But in the last week I read all the relevant texts, and now the conclusion is logically inescapable: I am the messiah.
Typical Dershie, complain that his critics either did not hear what he said or weren’t paying close enough attention. I’m not a lawyer, but I watched as he described what “the public interest” could mean to a president running for office. Unlike his more outspoken critics, I really didn’t take him seriously. Simply put, I saw him as a octogenarian whore spouting BS for a nice check.
Mussolini ha sempre ragione (“Mussolini is always right”).
Short and simple explanation of the GOP.
It was pretty obvious that he was talking about the personal/national interests of Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Not very good places to shine a light if your client has been associated with organized crime in all of those nations. It will just give grand juries more avenues to examine concerning Trump’s criminal activities before, during and after being king.
Dershowitz is not a Constitutional Law expert.
Too late Al, we heard you and there is a tape.
‘Willfully distorted’ my butt. He did it on PURPOSE and the WH lawyers clapped because they WANT to slide this complete BS past the American citizens. Dersh is trying to ‘walk it back’ because he’s a needy twit who wants everyone to ‘like’ him…Good lord he’s disgusting.
You don’t even have to be the messiah. As long as you think you are and that it would benefit the national interest, anything goes.
Just another Dershowitz self-impeachment. FUCK HIM!
Has-been clown adds “liar” and “coward” to his cart before heading to checkout. I was raised to value intelligence and education—things that not coincidentally got my father out of the dead-end slum he was born in—but when they’re so ill-used it’s an embarrassment and a waste. Go walk naked on the beach, you buffoon, and reflect on how you squandered any sort of earned or deserved regard people once had for you.
