https://www.rawstory.com/2018/08/alan-dershowitz-goes-bonkers-fox-can-target-trump-can-target-can-target-anyone/Im looking at this and Im asking myself, why? Kilmeade opined. Why do you need to get to the bottom of this now? All those things were good or bad before he ran. This is an attack on a president because you dont like him. Why is that allowed?
Dershowitz immediately agreed.
Theres no doubt about that, he began. They have targeted the president, they have targeted his business The vulnerability is in the business and they have targeted. They have said, Look, weve known about Mr. Trumps business dealings for years. Weve never looked into them. But now, were going to start looking into them.'
If you look deeply into any complicated business, youre going to find a loan somewhere in which income is overstated, liabilities are understated, he added.

Its targeting people! Dershowitz exclaimed. And if they can target President Trump, they can target you, they can target anyone. Thats the problem.

Incredible! Why can't law-enforcement simply continue to not investigate these things?
And if they can target President Trump, they can target you, they can target anyone. Thats the problem.
It's not a bug. That's how it's supposed to work.

(24,414 posts)They have entered a realm of sheer lunacy. The same people screaming about undocumented immigrant criminals are completely nonchalant about all of the shady stuff Trump and/or his campaign have been alleged to have engaged in before, during, and since the 2016 Election. They would be raging like thunder if Trump was a Democrat make no mistake about it.
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)You don't care if the President of the United States can be subject to blackmail? You don't care that he's badly compromised and in thrall to foreign leaders? The evidence, such as it is, is pretty stark, and further investigation is yielding more and more evidence of it.
With no evidence at all, except for some still photos of a tall man inclining his head to hear what a shorter man was saying, you guys at Fox conjured up an entire apology tour for President Obama, and a list of foreign governments that all had him on a leash. Now, you're confronted with actual evidence of a badly conflicted president, and you're more concerned about his business dealings (which he supposedly divested) than the integrity of our nation and its government.
How do you fuckers sleep at night?

That's the problem with our criminal code - They are targeting PEOPLE! - Go after the cats, dogs, horses and cows - empty out our prisons full of those targeted people.

(9,670 posts)They've conditioned the sheep to believe this, suspending the reality of Trump's lifetime of criminality and lawlessness.
No, you sanctimonious fucks, this isn't a personal vendetta. We're not like you. We don't conjure up fake investigations that are literally political witch hunts. We run on facts. We apply the law. You do the crime, you do the time.
Quit projecing your own callousness to us.
