At least, that's my impression.
He seems to have a counter-prevailing argument to matters such as "quid pro quos". And he seems to believe if a president does something, and he says it is for the good of the country, then it cannot be illegal or even, inappropriate. For example, if he gets help from another country in creating false rumors about one of his opponents, then there is nothing wrong with that.
Dershowitz might confess? The law is whatever you can get away with? I wish he could speak with more clarity. His arguments need to be examined.

Positively stunning.

(182,797 posts)He and he alone is why everything happens. The country has never been greater simply because him. Without him we are nothing. All that went before him were inferior.
He really believes that and by Dershbags reckoning keep himself in place is THE national interest.

(5,227 posts)I worked at a defense law firm. I remember lawyers sitting around after hours with a cocktail or two....and just making stuff up regarding a defense strategy and seeing if it worked with the other attorneys. Nothing about the actual truth, just seeing if someone might believe it. This reminds me of those days.
