Oh My - THIS - is what one of Trump's loudest DEFENDERS is saying

[kpete]

Alan Dershowitz on the Michael Cohen raid: “It’s a tactic generally used against organized crime, against very serious, very serious criminals and lawyers who are operating outside of the protections of the law.”

1. The Trump crime family

Real estate is just like olive oil.

2. Please, stahhhhp, my lips hurt from all this grinnin, k!!

Louder please, Alan, I can’t hear you!

”It’s a tactic generally used against organized crime, against very serious, very serious criminals and lawyers...”

3. Thanks for telling us how bad these people are

By explaining what's just been done is only used against the worst of the worst criminals.

Thanks Alan!

You stupid fuck.

4. Lets hope.

The crime-fraud exception would eviscerate attorney-client privilege. Communications by a client to his or her attorney for the purposes of seeking legal advice are generally privileged and may not be disclosed to third parties -- including a court -- unless an exception applies. Communications made for the purpose of committing a crime or fraud, however, are not privileged and their production to the court may be compelled.

This may be what’s going on here.

5. I can't wait til Dershowitz gets his comeuppance

and learns just half of what Trump & Co. have been up to. He's been in deeep, deep denial. I'd like to think he's not such a suck-up that he sticks to that forever.

6. Derwoschitz wants in on this so bad he can taste it.

[czarjak]

8. Who says he cant find a lawyer to defend him?

[Hamlette]

10. Yeah. If Dersh loves him as much as he appears too, why doesn't he become Trump's attorney?

[BobTheSubgenius]

7. That was my immediate thought when I first read about the raid.

What the HELL has this guy been up to, and how did he ever expect to get away with his (hypothetical, at this point) misdeeds?

[DesertRat]

9. Wow!

[Hassler]

11. The only thing worse he could have said would be, "It's like they're the Gambino crime family."

[generalbetrayus]

12. That the special counsel is treating Michael Cohen like a mob lawyer

should not really be a surprise. He's one of the reasons I've been calling Donald Trump "Don Trumpleone" ever since he was elected pResident.

[blake2012]

14. Yep. Cohen just screams mafioso wannabe with every interview

[elmac]

13. its something you would see on Breaking Bad

or the Sapranos. That's what the dummies get when the elect an actor/con artist

15. If tRump fires Sessions...

I have the feeling Dershowitz won't be near the top of the list of replacements!

On edit: I stand corrected.
