And the way trumpet yaps about it all you know he has shit buried everywhere That's one reason he was afraid to show his tax returns

Is Dershowitz finally eyeing a Supreme Court spot.

 

[IsaacNewton]

Ahhh, the Richard Nixon defense, "the president can't commit a crime, he's the president".

No you're thinking of North Korea. Or the Soviet Union.

 

[bripat9643]

The Constitution says the president has the authority to fire anyone in his employ for any reason, period. The Constitution is the law.

Didn't Nixon do that ?? See how far that got him?

Was he indicted?

Ford pardoned him

Nixon tried to cover up an actual crime (the Watergate breakin). He wasn't accused of obsturction of justice for firing Cox.

Flynn's lying to the FBI is an actual crime.

True, but it had nothing to do with "collusion" with the Russians. Once again, the Dims get their sacrificial lamb through a process crime that has nothing to do with the supposed justification for the investigation.

Was he indicted?

Ford pardoned him

Nixon tried to cover up an actual crime (the Watergate breakin). He wasn't accused of obsturction of justice for firing Cox.

In July [1974] the Supreme Court ordered Nixon to turn over the remaining tapes, which he again tried to resist.

The House of Representatives lost patience, voting to impeach Nixon for obstruction of justice, abuse of power, criminal cover-up and several violations of the Constitution.

Subpoena For Deutsche Bank May Put Mueller On Collision Course With Trump

  Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly subpoenaed Trump family financial records from the German financial giant Deutsche Bank, a move that could signal a major new direction for his inquiry.
  
  Deutsche Bank has so far not accommodated or discussed American requests for information about the Trumps' accounts. The German business newspaper Handelsblatt, which first reported the subpoena, quoted a spokesman saying that the bank cooperates with official investigators but would not discuss individual cases.
  
  If Mueller's team is expanding its inquiry into the Trump family's banking and financial arrangements, that could put it onto a collision course with the president.

  Trump, his wife, daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner are understood to be clients of Deutsche Bank. But Trump's attorneys have said they believe the Trumps' business and financial arrangements are out of bounds for Mueller's investigation, and Trump has denied all along that he has any financial connections with Russians.
  
  "I don't make money from Russia," as he told The New York Times. "I don't have buildings in Russia. They said I own buildings in Russia. I don't. They said I made money from Russia. I don't. It's not my thing. I don't, I don't do that. Over the years, I've looked at maybe doing a deal in Russia, but I never did one.

You're obviously not aware that obstruction of justice can be a crime even if it obstructs an investigation leading to the determination that no crime was committed.

Firing Comey was an exercise of Trump's constitution authority. You can't be committing a crime if you are only doing precisely what the Constitution allows. That's what you refuse to comprehend.

This is for all the forum idiots who think Mueller can charge Trump with obstruction of justice:

Dershowitz: 'You Cannot Charge a President With Obstruction of Justice for Exercising His Constitutional Power' - Breitbart​

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz batted down the merit of obstruction of justice charges aimed at President Donald Trump for what he said was exercising his constitutional power and authority regarding the firing of then-FBI Director James Comey and instructing the Department of Justice what to and not to investigate.

“If Congress were to ever charge him with obstruction of justice for exercising his constitutional authority under Article 2, we’d have a constitutional crisis,” he explained. “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. That’s what Thomas Jefferson did. That’s what Lincoln did. That’s what Roosevelt did. We have precedents that clearly establish that.”

​

Dershowitz versus a whole damn lot of experts: 11 law professors: Trump can obstruct justice

There are plenty of lawyers who agree with Dershowitz, dumbass.

 

[bripat9643]

Well there is this.
Trump’s lawyer: the president can’t obstruct justice. 13 legal experts: yes, he can.

President Trump’s lawyer, John Dowd, apparently believes the president cannot be guilty of obstruction of justice because he’s the president.
The “president cannot obstruct justice because he is the chief law enforcement officer [under the Constitution’s Article II] and has every right to express his view of any case,” Dowd told Axios’s Mike Allen.
But is that true? To find out, I reached out to 13 legal experts and asked them a single question: Can the president commit obstruction of justice?
Trump’s lawyer: the president can’t obstruct justice. 13 legal experts: yes, he can.

You mean 13 douchebag leftwing propagandists say he can. A leftist will say anything if it promotes their agenda.

Are you a Constitutional expert? No.
Why not prove them wrong?
You are just a goose-stepping tool, who doesn’t have the qualifications to question any Constitutional experts.

And you do?

​

You cherry-picked one scholar because he is the one you love (for being a conservative).
I found 11 scholars who disagree with Dershowitz in one article alone: Trump’s lawyer: the president can’t obstruct justice. 13 legal experts: yes, he can.

Dershowitz is a conservative? The reason the right wing media plays him up so much is the fact that he's a notorious leftwinger.

Clinton was impeached for obstructing justice, so now why all of a sudden can't Trump be charged with it?

Clinton was charge with trying to coach witnesses not with exercising his given power to fire an appointee to his government.

Clinton was charge with trying to coach witnesses not with exercising his given power to fire an appointee to his government.

"..... in Comey’s case, however, becomes legally problematic if it is done with the intent of circumventing an investigation.

“If shown that Trump removed Comey to avoid being investigated? Yes impeachable: abuse of power, corruption, undermines rule of law,” Harvard University law professor Noah Feldman tweeted Friday.

The questions about Trump’s motives are being fueled, increasingly, by his own words in interviews and on Twitter."

Reminder who Dershowitz is...

FUCKING TRUMP LOVING RIGHT WINGER ALAN DERSHOWITZ?

What does that guy know about the Constitution?

Oh....

Alan Dershowitz - Wikipedia

Alan Morton Dershowitz (born September 1, 1938) is an American lawyer and author. He is a scholar of United States constitutional law and criminal law, and a leading defender of civil liberties.He spent most of his career at Harvard Law School where in 1967, at the age of 28, he became the youngest full professor of law in its history.

Oh again....

Robert Swan Mueller III (born August 7, 1944) is an American lawyer and civil servant who was the sixth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 2001 to 2013.

A Republican, he was appointed by President George W. Bush

A graduate of Princeton University, Mueller served as a Marine Corps officer during the Vietnam War, receiving the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V"for heroism and the Purple Heart Medal. After graduating from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1973, he worked at a private firm in San Francisco for three years until his appointment as an assistant U.S. Attorney in the same city. Prior to his appointment as FBI director, Mueller served as a United States Attorney, as assistant attorney general for the Criminal Division and as acting deputy attorney general.

In May 2017, Mueller was appointed by Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein as special counsel overseeing an ongoing investigation into alleged foreign electoral intervention by Russia in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[3]"""

It's funny, everyone involved is a Republican except Dershowitz.
