Dershowitz’s argument at Trump impeachment trial called ‘shocking’

Alan Dershowitz, a member of President Donald Trump's legal team, argued on the Senate floor that a politician trying to win reelection is acting in the national interest, and therefore a quid pro quo aimed at boosting reelection chances cannot be impeachable. #CNN #News

    1. Rodney Boehner – Do you actually believe the horseshit that comes out of your mouth? Or are you just defending someone you voted for to make you feel better about your shitty decision?

    2. @Bovine One SHOW ME THE QUO!!! By the way, I’d stock up on Preparation-H if I were you because when Trump gets re-elected again in 2020, you’ll need it because that butthurt is coming back with a vengeance, snowflake.

    1. Trump has nothing on him. Alan has been hinting and pretty much begging to defend Trump for a long time. Alan enjoys the infamy and attention taking cases like this. I understand you need lawyers to defend people who are considered guilty, but Alan enjoys it way too much. There’s something about him that’s slimy

    2. Primarily I think he likes Trumps Israel policy, besides that I don’t find anything to explain this.

    1. BOMBSHELL BREAKING NEWS:
      White House just released this video:
      Flashback: John Bolton:
      “I Would Say Something False to Protect American National Security”

      Then-former United Nations ambassador John Bolton told Judge Andrew Napolitano during a Fox program in 2010 that he would “LIE” to protect national security, defending diplomatic secrecy.

      Here is the 1-minute video clip on Twitter of John Bolton admitting he would LIE!

  1. They’re talking about obama and the whistleblower? Wtf? This is becoming more and more ILLEGAL AS WE GO!!🤬

    1. Destination Paradise ….lol…dems should’ve never went down this road baby!…Trump’20…👍🏼🇺🇸

    1. @brad mcgrath Recently I have been subjected to having FOX in the background with my son. I can categorically.say they do NOT tell the facts. Everything is slanted to absolve and glorify Trump. I now wonder who actually owns FOX “news”. It was disclosed a Saudi was a partner. What other foreign entities are involved? We don’t know. But a fact is FOX was recently sold without the “news” portion. There is a reason for that. It’s a propaganda machine but just who is behind it?

    2. Name Unavailable …. what a stupid statement! If someone has opposing views, they’re not American? Imbecile.

    1. CNN should just out and remind people of that every time before he speaks, its a fact he got famous defending diddlers, and the diddler in chief escaped justice under trump’s watch. no wonder they wanted to run roy moore. Jim jordan also helped his staff diddle the wrestlers that trusted him as a coach!

    2. @sixstringman Go cry a river. A dead felon who assaulted under age woman for years deserves everything coming to him. Well done for taking this sleeze out of the lives of victims. Good fricken riddance!

    3. @sixstringman ok then prosecute them, until then we have videos of Trump and Dershowitz hanging out with Epstein and remember Alan “kept his underwear on” when massaged by a 14 year old…

  2. If you want to experience true stupidity just listen to anyone that defends trump for more than 2 minutes.

    1. See it’s those comments that’s going to probably get you people killed. You would think you idiots would be smarter than this. We are the very edge of an all out Civil War. Trump isn’t a racist. He never has been a racist. He isn’t a Tyrant. He is a intolerant boss. He’s just another President amongst other nobody Presidents we’ve elect. He will get a library, an Aircraft carrier or Spaceship named after him and we will end up in Civil War or we will elect another nobody

    2. Let’s face it. The people who hate Trump telling the people who Support Trump they will be killed or can be beaten is not true. The Republicans aren’t anti-Gun. They have several Militias waiting for Civil War. The Republicans have emassed so many weapons the Russians would be scared of them. This isn’t a joke. Our country isn’t some Utopian Video Game

    3. @Larry Williams you’re one of those people that is convinced that they’re fucked no matter what, so why try.

    4. Livinlarge Indacity do you honestly think that republicans are the only ones with guns? I live in rural Texas and I have plenty of guns and I’m a Democrat.

    5. @Omnipresent Spirit So we should listen to a liberal Jimmy Dore. Why? I think you’re the one that has a pea brain.

    1. They’ve been practicing irrationality for many years. Dealing with this trial is the payoff for all their hard work.

  3. So correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn’t this argument apply to murdering your political rivals? Like Putin?

    1. Not directly I think, this is probably AD’s weird way of disproving corrupt intent, and I doubt that applies to murder. That being said, I’m sure they’d be able to come up with an excuse for murder too. Probably something to do with self defense, or maybe more likely, defense of the nation.
      Not a very comforting thought.

    2. Only if HE thought he was the better man for the job. After all, Putin, Kim Jong-Un, and MLB of Saudi Arabia, are tutoring him.. Naturally, purely in the public interest! Damn. I’m glad I’m old. It scares the hell out of me to think about what my grandkids will live through if The EVIL One is given another pass!

    1. How about all you democrats just getting out there and voting in November to beat Trump in 2020.. Stop your crying and bitching…the best lawyers on earth, all the money they could utilize, and the power of most of the media backing you guys and Trumps still gonna win in 2020…i don’t feel sorry for you one bit. Absolutely Pathetic!

  4. SO TO DERSHOWICZ IF YOU THINK YOU’RE THE CHOSEN ONE YOU CAN’T NO WRONG, IS THAT WHAT HE’S SAYING ?

    1. That’s exactly what he’s saying. If Trump THINKS he needs to win, for the best interest of the country, of cours, then you can do whatever you want and it can’t be an abuse of your power. So Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin were all in good stead. For the record.

  5. HAHAHHA… So in other words… Donald Trump can do whatever he wants… But the rest of us must obey the law…

    1. Fab T Why ? He is saying he doesn’t want to live in a US modelled on Dershowitz’s version. Who would ? Only someone like you,apparently. Speaks volumes about you.

    2. You mean an America where you aren’t a pedophile if you keep your underwear on, or where motives don’t matter to crimes? I don’t want to live there either, but it’s probably why Dershowitz lives in a gated community…

    1. @HemiHead664
      You stupid jackass . Not financial complex . A financial military complex.
      Big difference between the two of the complexes . Look it up moron .

    2. @Andre Davis then why did alan dershowitz actively support and vote hillary clinton and al gore and many democrats throughout his lifetime?

    3. Lance Shepler…. you’re not capable of forming an arguement with your limited brain cell availability. In your world then after committing something as long as you said you didn’t it never happened? Fucking moron. So after getting caught in a QPQ on the phone call (which Trump himself and Mulvaney both public admitted to doing), and being told he will have to release the funds because the whistleblower called him out and told the HJC. Trump then said there was no QPQ doesn’t make it all not happen. Mmm..lets see, commit murder, get caught by witnesses comitting murder. Say “there was no murder.” Phew, I’m safe. Wait, the body, the witnesses….meh, your GOP party will stick up for you and set you free because they are all spineless idiots tha are afraid of you and they are addicted to power. Welcome to Republican Trump America folks! Hey, assassin, step up, its a free for all. If only some of you, just some were capable of some independant thought. Wait, what, who? Mitt?

    4. @conference Justice
      That’s taxpayer money you dumbass. Wasted money at that. Every other president goes to Camp David once in a while to play golf. Trump goes every freakin weekend to his clubs. You Conservatives better have some deep pockets because we’re going to make you pay for it. We’ll start off by ripping off your Social Security and Medicare benefits. We all know that you won’t mind that.

    1. @TheWhatthefuck12 genius CNN was the first 24 hour cable news channel started by Ted Turner in Atlanta. TBN (Turner Broadcasting Network). So please tell me how is CNN fake news when C-SPAN, MSNBC,FOX NEWS ESPN are templates of the format CNN created??? You idiot!!! How foolish can you be to believe a man who is nothing more than a realtor??! Would you let your machanic cut your hair? So why would you believe a realtor can run a country someone who never studied Congressional Law???? An oxymoron are two words that don’t mean anything like President Trump and you have to be a moron to believe that….

    2. @Tucker Carlson you have to do better than that to sell snake oil to me. Can you say integrity? Ask the Republicans what that means they forgot.

  6. American interest. He’s a Harvard professor. He needs to retire 😩Obama wasn’t in his class. Thank God

    1. So if I believe I’m deserving of the money a bank has, and I bring Chewy as my backup, I can rob a bank?😂😂😂
