Dershowitz to Stephanopoulos - Essentially The President can do what he wants

Alan Dershowitz to @GStephanopoulos: "You cannot question a president's motives when the president acts. If a president pardons, that's it. If a president fires, that's it. You can't go beyond an act and get into his motive or into his intent." #ThisWeek




...................

There you go, he is arguing that Trump is a King............This idiot needs flattening.

all you want, but it doesn’t detract from the fact that you are giving aid and support to the Nazi in the WH, and your feeble rationalizations that you didn’t vote for him, don’t exonerate you from his deplorable behavior. Quite simply you support are giving support to a racist, supposedly unsolicited support, which actually speaks volumes about you

You are nothing more than Trump's c**k-sucking little bitch. You'll do anything for a cookie, won't you?

Your friends on the Vineyard are very wise to reject you. The way you enable this monster is obscene.

His predecessor would have been impeached.

Yesterday we learned of a new one. He's violating federal records law by having private conversations with world leaders on his cell phone.

And they are just going to ignore the Flores Settlement even if Judge Gee refuses to modify it.

And then there's the emoluments clause.

They're doing whatever they want, including kidnapping. It's incredible and horrifying.

Here's how I think it could go down. Jared will be blamed for the sins of the administration and be convicted of treason. Trump will pronounce himself innocent of the sins of his treasonous Jewish son in law.

Ivanka will obey Daddy, divorce her traitorous Jewish husband and de-convert herself and the kids. She'll then go on the road to denounce her treacherous ex as a member of an evil race that that is so devious they could dupe good Christian citizens into believing they (Jews) were real Americans ... so deceitful that even she could be duped into politically correctness.

The fully trumpified Republicans are already loaded with antisemites who Donald the Dictator will then whip into a frenzy, while convincing their fellow Trumpists that the Jews are responsible for all their problems.

Will it go down this way? I don't know ... but it could. It could.

Murder according to Dershowitz?

I can see Twitler going into a rage and killing someone( if he already has not done so). Rich and powerful have the money to cover up murder. Look at Putin you know that guy is a stone cold killer.
