    Alan Dershowitz's bizarre argument in defense of trump

    ...frankly goes beyond anything I could have ever imagined---especially from such an "esteemed legal scholar".

    I hope he sends trump a giant bill for making such a fool of himself on national TV.

    Here is my code of Ethics. Damn shame politicians and lawyers don't have similar guidelines they adhere to.

    I did think he was way out of line with that idea.

    So---now we have the exalted professor offering clarification to the unknowing:

    “If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment,” said the lawyer, Alan M. Dershowitz. He sought on Thursday to clarify or walk back his remarks, saying on Twitter that they were mischaracterized.
    Really----mischaracterized, hey? Maybe the learned gentleman was speaking in "new" English---cause in my English it is pretty damn clear what he said---and meant

    The Donald will be the first one to produce and direct this movie. I bet he also tries land the lead role. He knows his way around a casting couch.

    The Constitution, Article II, Section 4:
    The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
    I do not see anything in there about abuse of power or stiffing Congress.
