Dershowitz is completely fed up with Mueller — 24 Comments

  1. VDH has likened the obsession of leftists and the Democratic Party to that of Captain Ahab in his pursuit of the whale in Moby Dick, while, to others, Javert from Victor Hugo’s famous novel might come to mind. Some have spoken of addiction or TDS, but the fact remains that no amount of evidence, nor any rational analysis, will ever dissuade these delusional fools from believing in a conspiracy theory more ridiculous than anything from the mouth of Alex Jones.

  2. If the President is impeached, whom will remove him/her from office? To paraphrase Andy Jackson, you have reached your verdict, good luck enforcing it. There’s your Constitutional crisis.

    The ancient Greeks are instructive here: those whom the gods choose to destroy, first they drive mad.

  3. The aftermath of Trump’s election has been an eye opener for both Dershowitz and McCarthy.

  4. I share Dershowitz’s opinion of Mueller’s intent to fan the flames of impeachment. So far Pelosi continues to resist but she’s caved to her fanatics before.

    But getting rid of Trump will not satiate the Left’s lust for power, it would enflame it. Pence would be crucified in the press as a religious fanatic and would stand no chance of election. The ‘activist’ Left’s victory over Trump would result in their ascendence into full control of the democrat party. Pence’s defeat would entrench it.

    They would then proceed to cut down all the laws in order to get after all who oppose them. As example; Kamela Harris just proposed that Congress pass a law that the States have to gain DOJ approval before they can enact abortion laws. But why would the activist dems stop at abortion laws?

    Which will result in the ‘devil’ i.e. the “deplorables and irredeemables” turning round to finally confront them with a “terrible swift sword”.

    Once again I am reminded of George Orwell’s assessment of those on the Left; “So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire, by people who don’t even know that fire is hot”…

  6. “No responsible prosecutor should ever suggest that the subject of his investigation might indeed be guilty even if there was insufficient evidence or other reasons not to indict.” — Dershowitz

    “To suggest there is insufficient evidence but that the prosecutor can’t prove innocence, …” — Neo

    Mueller’s statement was a mess of ambiguity and innuendo, but there are one or possibly two standard Democrat manipulations on display and related to the above statements.

    First, Neo and Dershowitz are correct that Mueller did emphasize (repeatedly, I think) that he was unable to prove Trump’s innocence. This alone is a horrible corruption of our prosecutorial system.

    One Clintonian tactic is an argumentative bait-and-switch that begins with a patently and factually true statement followed by a considerably more vague or amorphous statement that sounds similar or related to the first one. We are supposed to think that both statements are obviously true, when in fact the second one may be highly contentious or largely false.

    Mueller states that he can’t prosecute (or refer for prosecution) President Trump because of the Constitution. (About which he cares so deeply.) He then hints that there may have been an ocean of evidence that could have led to a prosecution, but (poor me) my hands were tied. He implies that because an actual prosecution can’t go forward they were hampered in fully developing the evidence and writing the report, which is obviously false.

    The second tactic contained in this gambit is Democrat political ju-jitsu. A Constitutional principle that was clearly intended to protect the President from a powerful hate-group, has been cleverly, if dishonestly, used to smear the President; implying that he’s a criminal without showing any significant evidence. “The Constitution made me do it.”

    The Obama political ju-jitsu that really bugged me was the “confidential investigation.” “Oh, we’ve opened an investigation into that abuse, and we’d love to tell you what we’ve learned, but all investigations are confidential.” It’s also true that there is no significant investigating being done, and the pseudo investigation will last forever. The justice system protections become weapons.

  7. Dershowitz is a great lawyer and a passionate defender and brilliant human but he really has to be whacked over the head before he sees the error of statist policies and personnel. In this case, finally, he sees that Mueller is not – as repeatedly, mantra-like, stated on cable tv – a dignified, dispassionate and highly respected official, but, rather, a swamp weasel who’s been working the levers of power on his own behalf the whole time. DUH!

  8. Dershowitz just waking up to Mueller’s partisanship makes him like the sleeping dormouse at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.

    Somebody finally slapped him awake. At last.

    But it won’t last.

    Depend upon it. Leopards do not change their spots and Democrats do not change their dodentry.

  9. The greatest indictment of our anti-Trump elites is that not one of them has bothered to ask one simple question over the last three years.

    “So, we get rid of Trump. And then what?”

    Look what trying to remove Bill Clinton and failing did. It cemented the Clinton machine as the dominant force in the Democratic Party for a generation. Even after 16 years and another Democrat in the White House, Bill and Hillary still so completely controlled the party that the only person who ran a meaningful primary campaign against her in 2016 was a guy WHO ISN’T EVEN A DEMOCRAT. It’s not hard to see how withstanding a Democratic impeachment effort would only make Trump even more powerful in the GOP.

    Now imagine actually removing Trump from office. Take all the anger and bitterness of Clinton’s impeachment and Nixon’s forced resignation combined and multiply it by about a hundred. Tens of millions of Americans would become irretrievably alienated from their own political process and more than happy to support the next person who comes riding that white horse.

  10. The Special Counsel’s investigation is oe sided. No evidence is heard from the other side. Except, in this case, President Trump, using his bully pulpit, kept proclaiming his innocence. By openly proclaiming his innocence, the Special Counsel prosecutors decided he was trying to obstruct their investigation. The perp is, in their opinion, not allowed to do that while the prosecution is compiling their evidence. Why? Because he’s a powerful man with a big megaphone. What they fail to take into account is the megaphone of the MSM, which was daily proclaiming Trump’s guilt. Not to mention many Deep State denizens such as Comey, Brennan and Clapper parading their expertise as “informed experts” to aver Trump’s guilt. Does an innocent man have the right to proclaim his innocence? Even one as powerful as the President of the United States? Therein lies the crux for the impeachers. Can they convince the Senate that a crime was committed? IMHO, no. They may
    impeach, but they will not succeed in removal. There was

    no obstructipon of justice

  11. Depend upon it. Leopards do not change their spots and Democrats do not change their dodentry.

    Gerard vanderleun: I seem to have the impression you voted Democrat for more than an election or two … until 9/11 anyway. Of course, you don’t participate in these comment threads beyond smash and grab, so no matter.

    Or maybe you just wanted to work your nice neologism, dodentry, into ascii here.

    However, I wouldn’t write Dershowitz off. This may be a bridge too far for him. I think of David Mamet’s memorable:

    “David Mamet: Why I Am No Longer a ‘Brain-Dead Liberal’”
    https://www.villagevoice.com/2008/03/11/david-mamet-why-i-am-no-longer-a-brain-dead-liberal/

    People — even Democrats — can change. I believe this blog is dedicated in part to that notion.

  12. It all comes down to economics and covering your backside. The goal is to investigate Trump until another administration gets elected. They are counting on two years. I think it will be six years. Mueller made money with uranium one and so did a lot of other people.

    And this;

  13. Dershowitz’ comment on the nature of a grand jury is apropos. I got to serve on a grand jury for the first time recently, and it was fascinating. How the sausage gets made, etc. It enables me to appreciate what he says.

  14. …Mueller made money with uranium one and so did a lot of other people.

    JHCorcoran: I vaguely remember that but had forgotten. Into my EverNote database. Thanks.

    (BTW–If you read a lot of internet and want to save the good bits, EverNote is mighty handy. It also works as an adblocker.)

  15. The gods have not yet defeated me in battle. The mad thing is probably not relevant any more.

  16. Gerard vanderleun: I seem to have the impression you voted Democrat for more than an election or two … until 9/11 anyway. Of course, you don’t participate in these comment threads beyond smash and grab, so no matter.

    That’s a good memory. I can’t verify it either way. Someone named vanderleun has been on and off here being anti Left since at least a few years after I was here.

    Mueller is a Deep State pig. Is there any other way to say it?
    The Deep State consists of over a million Democrats who cannot be fired due to the Civil Service code adopted in the late 19th century to protect us from partisanship! They hire their own.
    POTUS control applies to only about 9000 total federal positions.

    Every once in a while I get optimistic about the future of our America, but I’m increasingly being pushed into anticipating a violent response to the maddeningly deluding and insane Democrats. They have obviously morphed in my lifetime into oppressors who will oppress now and forever. We are now the equivalent of Germans in the year 1930.

  18. We are now the equivalent of Germans in the year 1930.

    No, Spaniards ca. 1934.

  19. Cicero: I have been watching Ken Burns “The Civil War” and what is happening in States now is not unlike what was happening in the mid 1800’s in terms of the divide. However, the South split because of their economy, which is very different from what is going on today. I am not anticipating civil war, but I do think the Dems are out of their minds and totalitarian. I hope and think they have a losing strategy.

    Recall the “John Doe” investigations in Wisconsin, shut down as unconstitutional because they specifically forbade any targets or witnesses to even reveal that they were targets or witnesses in the investigation…therefore having no opportunity to contest the government’s position on any points of “evidence” — and I use the scare quotes on purpose.

    One story at the end of the long tale:
