Dershowitz is drunk on the kool-aid!

He just argued that if a president believes their re-election is in the national intetest, then coercion using public funds is perfectly fine if the goal is to further the election prospects.

These people have corruption tattooed across their foreheads!

it's such a funny argument to make, I mean, mormon women keep their magic underwear on* during conception and childbirth so I don't know who he's trying to convince there.

*Seriously, this is taught in medical ethics courses, they are to keep the garment wrapped around one ankle during medical procedures.

You could justify cancelling the elections or ignoring the results as being in the "nation's" interest.

They have bribery material on Dershowitz. I'm betting he didn't really keep his underwear on at all.

It was covering his head, which explains the look on his face as though he has a dirty smell right under his nose. That "old" (she had to be at least 21) Russian girl could tell everyone that.

To plan and execute the NEXT bank robbery, robbing banks is obviously just FINE.

and not to nitpick, but what president EVER said 'my getting re elected would just clearly NOT be in the nation's best interest.'...

Washington, MAYBE??

These sycophantic fuckers defending Trump can't deny that he actually committed a corrupt and criminal act, so they're just throwing all kinds of shit to the wall hoping it will stick.
