This is a new “defense”

[irisblue]

1. 🤦

[Va Lefty]

2. Damn. How much $$$ is your soul worth? Really like to know.

[Yavin4]

34. He defended OJ.

Soul has been gone for a long time now.

[Va Lefty]

38. Excellent point

[brush]

35. What a disgusting scum-filled bucket of protoplasm. Trying to make light of...

felony-level criminality by the orange pustule. He'll get his one way or another too.

Sometimes it takes a while. Sometimes it hits like a brick, like today to trump's head.

[Zoonart]

3. Everybody does it.

Wow...is he 10?

[janterry]

4. I taught this very thing

in the prisons. It was in one of the workbooks. It's called:

Criminal Thinking Errors

[PatSeg]

16. That is priceless!

[ADX]

5. I really wish Dershowitz would just shut the fuck up...

...I'm seriously tired of listening to his endless stream of "Chump didn't do anything wrong" bullshit.

[smirkymonkey]

22. You aren't the only one.

He's such a shameless whore. He'll do anything for money and attention.

[leftynyc]

41. Well, he's moved from

donnie not doing anything wrong to "everyone does it". He looks like a schmuck.

[uponit7771]

6. Isn't the punishment elevated if the campaign violation is to sway an election? thx in advance

[underpants]

7. I'm sure Tucker agreed but that still of his dumb ass face is perfect

I'm guessing he thinks that makes him look substantial and serious.

[smirkymonkey]

24. I don't think I have ever seen a shot of him where he didn't look like a complete

drooling moron. He sounds like one too. The thing is, he is so arrogant and thinks he's so clever. It's actually laughable.

[unblock]

8. Like defending driving through a crowd and killing someone

Because hey, everyone speeds a little....

[underpants]

10. Cheney's torture defense - We only tortured 3 people

We know it was a lot more but 1 is enough

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

15. "And hell...they were in the street..."

(never mind it was blocked off for a reason)," just saying....it's all the same....all the same..."

[dalton99a]

9. I guess that's how he taught Criminal Law 1 at Harvard

[HopeAgain]

11. Dershowitz

is proving he doesn't have the legal mind anymore to handle a traffic ticket. He's worse than the lowest ambulance chaser.

[Salviati]

32. He doesn't have the legal mind to win an argument in food court.

[brush]

36. Him and Ghouliani both have shredded whatever legacy they once had.

Dershowitz is just an obvious legal whore while Ghouliani edged into senility and irrelevance before our very eyes in the last few months.

[John Fante]

12. Don't let Tucker's expression fool you - he's ALWAYS confused.

He makes the same face when reading the instructions on how to use soap.

[C_U_L8R]

13. "Everybody does it"

Oh grow up Dershowitz. And stop deceiving those poor dumb Fox viewers, will ya.

[mnmoderatedem]

37. Fox viewers

are already hopelessly dumb and deceived. Can't do much damage as far as that's concerned.

[hedda_foil]

14. Wonder who's holding the pics of him with an underage girl? Boy? Both?

[FM123]

17. I think that was Jane Doe #3

[oasis]

18. Alan laments why he's no longer invited for cocktails in the Hamptons.

Get a clue buddy.

[rogue emissary]

19. Mr Bharara for the win,

[TomSlick]

20. Jesus H. Christ!

No, not every candidate violates the law. Moreover if they did, the way to break the pattern is to prosecute a few.

[Elwood P Dowd]

21. During one of Rachel's commercial breaks, I flipped over to CNN

There was old Dickhead Dersh spouting this same shit. He's probably frantically dialing MSNBC right now so he can make all the rounds.

[spanone]

23. I didn't watch the video and I still feel stupider.

[underpants]

25. LMAO

I'm using that.

[spanone]

26. 👍🏼

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. There's a difference between willful and inadvertent violations.

Shame on Dershowitz for blurring the differences.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Dershowitz and Giuliani both need to be bundled off to the nearest

Irrelevant Old Lawyers' home.

[kimbutgar]

29. No, if they did they would have used it against President Obama

The guy who didn’t violate election laws.

[dhol82]

30. I wonder if he has been examined for a brain tumor?

He is getting weirder by the day.

[still_one]

31. bullshit, and actually he lose his teaching position at Harvard for implying it is ok

to violate the law because a lot of people do it

[MontanaMama]

33. Cable news can't pay enough

to keep Alan Dbag coming back again and again...right? WTH is his motivation? I guess negative attention is attention after all... but damn...what a tool.

[Vinca]

39. It's as if a brain-eating worm has infected some people.

I vaguely remember when Dershowitz seemed like a reasonable person. The entire GOP is infected with it, too.

[maxrandb]

40. Can we please

STOP GIVING A FUCK ABOUT WHAT THIS PIECE OF SHIT THINKS

Let Faux News do that, but Alan Dershowitz doesn't deserve the fucking time of day from DU.

I'd even support a rule that any post that contains AD's name be automatically locked, unless it's a "post mortem".
