It's the malignant narcissism in them. A God-complex. Dershowitz has it, too. He has only to verbalize a thing to make it true. By definition, if he says it, it becomes true.

It didn’t work or make sense, no matter how much he waved his arms and increased the loudness of his speech. But I’m pretty sure he thought he was on solid ground.

I’ve been thinking about what tRump has on Dersh that has him so obedient to tRump. It couldn’t have anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein, could it?? Lordy, I hope there are tapes.

It knocks over all the pieces, shits all over the board, then coos about how brilliantly it won.

I absolutely could not believe my ears when I heard that. I felt relieved when I heard it discussed later in commentaries on the day's questions/answers. I wondered if I may have somehow misinterpreted what he said.

Lordy.

Even if the Senate votes him a free pass, that Will NOT Change The FACT That He Was, and Is IMPEACHED.

The impeachment will stick. As Nancy Pelosi said, "Impeachment is Forever." "He is impeached FOREVER."

He's so corrupt and compromised he has no choice, just like some others he has in this case on his team. They're forced to lie and put on propaganda for trump and putin , refusing the truth.

Dershowitz is a conman. He is not crazy as some here believe. He does not really believe what he's saying. He's corrupt and is willfully misleading the public to defend a corrupt pResident.
