I've got a cousin who says "Thats because the Clintons and Obama corrupted the leadership of both the FBI and the Justice Department. Thats the only reason Hillary got a pass. Even that big Lib Allan Dershowitz admitted that."
I said he's more recently been a while for Trump. What do you think?

(16,079 posts)Is my descriptive word for him!!!
The man jumped the shark after 9/11...he acted like the attack on the towers was directed against him personally!!!
And for someone he keeps insisting that he isn't defending Trump, he seems to be defending Trump!!!

(1,714 posts)I think I heard him say he hadn't voted for him.
Maybe he's just trying to sell books. Or, maybe he legitimately thinks there isn't anything there. Don't know. What I do know, is that he has long been well-respected, is very knowledgeable about the law, and just because he may not agree with us on this issue it's no reason to throw him under the bus.

(12,654 posts)He's still considered a "Liberal" because it was a bandwagon cause he hitched his legal career on back in the 1980's and 1990's.
He's just a typical smooth-talking shark who got into the legal business because people are more impressed by a lawyer and would take him more seriously than if he became a news announcer or PR hack to get in front of a camera to preen.

(30,481 posts)It was a great plan. Putting the Republican Comey in charge was one of their best moves. The manner in which he helped to install Trump worked out brilliantly for Clinton.
Overall, these agencies are littered with conservatives/Republicans. Similar to police forces. They still do a pretty good job. Most do have good character and a respect for law.
I don't do Dershowitz.

(7,947 posts)He's been carrying water for Trump for years. I don't know why Trump hasn't hired him as a defense attorney... Alan sure has auditioned for the job often enough.
He's probably pretty smart (Harvard Law, etc), but his TV arguments never sound very convincing. He's into this sort of "realpolitics" "pragmatic" law-- kind of "whatever we can get away with". Not very intellectual, more cynical.
But he's certainly not liberal in a normal sense, and he's been trotting around Trump licking up his droppings for a long time. Liberals actually wouldn't do that.
And tell your cousin-- "You love Trump, and he's now insisting you have to hate about everyone else-- law enforcement, your family, football, Europe, Bruce Springsteen. Oh, he does insist you love Putin and Kim Jong Un. Is this really what you want out of life?"
I wonder if Trump fans ever stop and think about how much Trump requires them to hate.

I believe this is the basis for the dirt Putin has on Trump. Video of Cheeto with an underage model, probably shot during the 1990s or 2000s. I don't give a shit about any pee tapes. This is the real dirt that Russia has over Shitler.
Dersh is a vile, disgusting pedophile. May he rot in hell.

I don't see any other explanation for why he's gone so completely bonkers and supports Trump.
Off topic, I once waited in a green room with him. That was ages ago, just after the OJ Simpson case. He was sleazy then, and he's even sleazier now.
