Dershowitz changes his story as he becomes a laughing stock

Isaac Chotiner: I saw your comment that the president cannot obstruct justice—

Alan Dershowitz: No no no no no. Of course the president can obstruct justice. Nixon obstructed justice. President Clinton was charged with obstructing justice. A president can’t obstruct justice by simply exercising his constitutional authority. That is: A president can’t obstruct justice by pardoning. A president can’t obstruct justice by firing somebody he’s authorized to fire. If a president bribes or takes a bribe, or if a president, as Nixon did, pays hush money, or tells his subordinates to lie to the FBI, or destroys evidence, of course he can be charged with obstruction of justice, but he can’t be charged with obstruction of justice simply by exercising his constitutional authority. That would be a clear violation of the separation of powers, to punish a president for exercising Article II authority.

What part of ‘You Cannot Charge a President With Obstruction for Exercising His Constitutional Power’ didn't you understand?

Yeah, Nixon tried that defense. How did that work out for him?

Wrong, moron.

It's funny how virtually everything you post is dead wrong.

Don't you ever get tired of being an idiot? Seriously?

Nixon thought he was above the law - The Washington Post
 
Lying to congress under oath was a Trump idea most likely....

Telling Comey to drop the investigation and go easy on Flyn even so Flyn lied to the fbi is yet another.

Who had the idea to lie under oath in the Paula Jones case?

Can't stay on subject and answer, can you? If you have a math problem you can't figure out, do you write "But Clinton" as the answer?

Of course a president cannot obstruct justice by exercising his Constitutional authority. It is the Constitution itself that defines law.

You said "Nixon tried that defense."

When? Please supply a quote of Nixon saying to reporters that he can't be charged with obstruction of justice.

He made public defense statements. What more do you want? Him standing before SCOTUS?

Liberals don't understand that the role of a brilliant Constitutional lawyer is to cut through the partisanship and properly interpret what the law says and does not say. All Liberals know is he isn't singing their tune, so naturally they are furious with him. "He's a Nazi Con, he's a joke, he has dementia". Jesus Christ get a grip.
