Dershowitz Slams Feinstein Over Obstruction Argument: 'Doesn't Know What She's Talking About

When Dershewitz was on OJs dreamteam and got him found Not guilty, he was a liberal hero along with the rest of the dream team. Now because hes shredding the lefts bogus charges against trump he is now a bad human being and a traitor.



President Trump was pleased with constitutional law scholar Alan Dershowitz’s defense of him over his firing of former FBI Director James Comey, calling the Harvard Law professor’s analysis on Fox News a “must watch” interview.
“A must watch: Legal Scholar Alan Dershowitz was just on @foxandfriendstalking of what is going on with respect to the greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. political history. Enjoy!” Trump wrote on Twitter.
Dershowitz, a lifelong Democrat, said Trump has the constitutional right as president to fire his FBI director.
“You cannot charge a president with obstruction of justice for exercising his constitutional power to fire Comey and his constitutional authority to tell the Justice Department who to investigate, who not to investigate,” Dershowitz said during an interview with Fox News.
“We have precedents that clearly establish that.”
Talk of the president obstructing justice resurfaced after his former national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI last week about his conversation with the Russian ambassador.
Trump didn’t help matters by tweeting over the weekend that he knew Flynn lied to the FBI.
“I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies,” Trump wrote. “It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!”
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said over the weekend that a Senate investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election has revealed possible obstruction.
"I see it in the hyper-frenetic attitude of the White House, the comments every day, the continual tweets. And I see it most importantly in what happened with the firing of Director Comey, and it is my belief that that is directly because he did not agree to ‘lift the cloud’ of the Russia investigation. That’s obstruction of justice,” Feinstein said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
But Dershowitz disagreed.
"If Congress were ever to charge him with obstruction of justice for exercising his constitutional authority under Article II, we'd have a constitutional crisis," he said.

Impeachment Article 1 against Nixon was obstruction.

Impeachment Article 2 against Clinton was obstruction.

Both parties agree.

So much for your and Dershowitz' argument.

Pay attention, I will take a legal expert with decades of experience over any statement you make about the law. Its not my Deshowitz argument its his own.

Its incredible how many different categories you are a self professed expert in.

Impeachment is not criminal in nature. It is political.

Interestingly, I made the same argument here some time ago. One cannot charge a president with a crime for performing his Constitutional duties.

One can impeach a president for any reason. Or for no reason at all. It is a political act.

Clinton asked a material witness to lie in court.

Trump fired his employee- a political appointee that could be fired at will.

Double thanks, I bet, bet here was present for the wright brothers and Tesla, maybe even Franklin.

There were never any Articles of Impeachment against Nixon; making up bull$#@!, again, we see.

Nixon destroyed evidence (you know, like Hillary), and Clinton tried to pressure people into committing crimes, like PERJURY, to cover his ass.

Trump fired A LYING, INCOMPETENT $#@! FROM THE FBI, and the left's witch hunt continues on just fine, which is absolutely his perogative , per Article II of the US Constitution.

What, exactly, are you deluding he "obstructed"?


By the way, Clinton ordered the Sandy Berger investigation ENDED, with Berger, who was caught with highly classified docs about the incompetence of the Clinton Adm. leading up to 9/11, "accidentally" stuffed into his pants, scott-free with "community service" and a fine.

Yeah, the lying $#@! actually got away with that claim, with the intervention of his buddy Bill.

You really want to talk about "obstruction of justice"? REALLY?
