Is he just so incredibly brilliant running rings around the rest of us that he’s stupid or is he just stupid? In the end, I don’t suppose it matters. Stupid is stupid.

I tried to make sense out of what he’s saying, but it gave me a headache.
And this still makes no sense.
Conjecture: Bill Barr said we won’t prosecute you if you help the president at the impeachment.

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if his grievance for being shunned by the Martha’s Vineyard crowd isn’t fueling some of this. He’s very Trump-like in that he’s preoccupied with ego gratification, and he ain’t getting it from the liberals.

But, he’s getting liberal doses of it from Chiselin’ Trump.

Dershowitz is giving a public demonstration and/or lesson in how to destroy one’s own career, reputation, and credibility.
But then, so is everyone, without exception, who is touched by Trump in any way.
Which, unfortunately, includes this entire country, which Trump is groping daily.

Dershowitz Teaches criminal law.He is not a constitutional lawyer or scholar by any means.
They are bringing him in too early in the process. They need to wait till after Trump has been expelled from office and charged with crimes, then Dershowitz will be needed. Not before.

Dershowitz just wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants to be regarded as both an impartial authority on the Constitution AND an adversarial advocate for his client. He also wants to be labelled a “liberal Democrat”, which is arguably the most cynical of his fabrications. In reality, he is just an upgrade from Giuliani, a lying fascist troll who has not yet shredded the last vestiges of his professional reputation.

How many times did he squeeze “I’m a liberal Democrat” into that scree? Dersh lost the one thing he cherished, his legacy. Now it is shit and he hasn’t got the time left to clean it up. POS deserves it.

Dersh is doing exactly what he was hired to do. Muddying the water, squirting ink, blowing smoke, stirring up the dirt, baffling the marks.

That presupposes that Dershowitz is mentally capable of crafting and presenting a valid defense for someone and I don’t really think he is anymore.
He needs to retire.

Every single day. Trump is like the most virulent strain of Ebola possible. One touch and the victim bleeds out as everyone watches. (Refer to Lindsay Graham for present day example)

Dershowitz looks like an ageing narcissist, grasping for another moment in the limelight. It’s not just that Trump is famous for stiffing lawyers, so D will probably never get actually paid money. I wonder if he even asked for money. Going on the Sunday talks shows is his compensation.

Last Friday, he said that high crimes are acts that are mentioned in the constitution.
That’s fine (there’s a reason for this ‘skip to’), but when AC asked him about extortion, Dersh downgraded it as a low crime.

As the interview makes clear Dersh is on record (in a book he wrote no less) describing what Trump did - colluding with a foreign power - as the quintessential impeachable act.
So “as a constitutional scholar” he has already written that this is impeachable, using it as the prime example of what constitutes impeachability.
When this contradiction was pointed out his response was “I don’t want to talk about it because - stuff”.
