The First Trump Impeachment Thread

[QMany 5,443]

John Bolton is a Yale-trained attorney and wrote two books prior:

• Surrender Is Not an Option: Defending America at the United Nations (2008)

  • "This book about the challenges we face should be a wake-up call for America and the world." Senator Mitt Romney.

  • "Intelligent, shrewd, direct, and fascinating, John Bolton's new book bears a remarkable resemblance to the man himself." Senator John McCain.

• How Barack Obama is Endangering our National Sovereignty (2010)

I don't agree with his policies, but to act like he'd include this classified material as Trump's administration alleges is laughable.

There is zero chance Dershowitz isn't implicated in something or being paid off bigly for this "defense" work.

I have a friend who's a defense lawyer.  I asked him one time if he ever has trouble defending someone who he knows/thinks is guilty.  His answer was, "I'll defend them till their bank account says zero."

 

I'm sure Qmany can expand on this.  But, in the US, everyone has the right to an attorney and those lawyers are going to argue the case their client wants them to argue...or at least the one that they believe gives them the best chance to a constitutional defense.

With these lies, we must ask: has anyone ever seen Ted Cruz and @Notre Dame Joe in the same place?

Wait, are you trying to imply that Joe is the Zodiac Killer?

No, I get that. But Dershowitz has said he's not doing this for money.

 

Quote

 

Attorney Alan Dershowitz said Friday night that he will not be pocketing any money for his work on President Trump’s impeachment defense team.

 

During an appearance on "Anderson Cooper 360," the attorney said the details of his payment arrangement haven’t “been discussed” yet, but added, “If I were to be paid, all the money would go to charity.”

 

“I will not take a single penny of payment that I would keep based on what I’m doing,” he said. “I’m doing this because I strongly believe in the Constitution. I strongly oppose the impeachment. I worry about the weaponization of impeachment, and it could be used in other cases.”

I'll go "tin foil hat" here.

 

Dershowitz was involved with Epstein, correct?  What if some higher ups, who have some tapes, are pulling a whole lot of strings?

Promise of a pardon if he's charged in anything.

Deplorable. This man's life is at risk. So is Schiff's.

Dang, I am slow on the uptake. I get it now. "Classified information" is any information that incriminates DJT in any crime or malfeasance. Why didn't I see it sooner?
