Dershowitz: Trial Assertion Was ‘Distorted’ | Talking Points Memo

Deliberate distortion is not necessary to conclude that Alan Dershowitz deliberately distorted the Constitution in a deliberately distorted attempt to make himself the star of Trump’s show.

Yes, it is. Barr hasn’t had a chance to redact it yet.

Nah!
I was brought up to tell the truth even when it hurt.
There have been major lies from team trump. They have already had their take back.
And it went into overdrive on the senate GOP twitter account yesterday when they said 13 witnesses, 20,000+documents and 192 video clips made for a totally transparent, FAIR trial. I saw no witnesses and they themselves voted them down just the day before. That is about as insulting a lie as I have ever run across. Apparently they were counting testimony during the run up to this farce. Or maybe things in the Mueller Report.
Fucking liars.
So, no mulligan this time

Dear Alan Dershowitz-
Nobody gives a fuck about you.
Or about what you think.
Goodbye.

Dershowitz Insists His Stunning Senate Trial Assertion Was ‘Deliberately Distorted’

Much like the tighty-whitey yarn he spun from whole cloth.

I wish the media would play / write about the last part of his answer where he stated if he put his name on a foreign building and asked for kickbacks THAT would be impeachable.

I find Dershowitz tedious and dull. Certainly I’m not the only one?

ETA: no wonder he’s not welcome on Martha’s Vineyard. It’s one thing to be a sociopath, but there’s no excuse for being a bore.

Two Days Ago in Lala Land: “The GOP are just gonna keep winning! Trump is now a monarch! The election is gonna be rigged!”

Today, in reality: “The people Trump had as defenders can barely string a sentence together.”

“If the President did something completely lawful, the fact that part of his motivation may have been to help his election cannot be the quid pro quo,” Dershowitz said. “That’s what I said.”

Mr. Dershowitz, the president DID do something completely awful in extorting an ally in search of political dirt on an opponent.

Funny how that result never seems to make them stop and think before opening their mouths on national TV.
And Alan you were on Fox News, and you got owned.

Being an aging publicity whore that can’t keep up, and say what they meant to say, has a downside.

I get the impression Dershowitz thinks he’s always the smartest guy in the room, and he doesn’t even have to try very hard because he’s just so clever.

His salad days are long gone. Now he just looks like a prevaricating, fumbling fool who can’t remember how to cover up his trail of contradictory lies.
