Dershowitz "Shocked" How Far the Left Is 'Stretching


Jul 17, 2017, 11:15 AM

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2017/07/17/dershowitz-shocked-how-far-the-left-is-talking-about-treason-with-no-evidence-n2355809

“I’m shocked as a civil libertarian, and a criminal lawyer and a liberal at how liberals are, some of them at least, prepared to stretch existing laws, talk about treason, talk about other kinds of crimes that just don’t exist when it comes to the facts as we know them about this meeting,” he said.

Pirro followed up, asking if receiving valuable information from a foreign national could be prosecuted under campaign finance laws.

“Of course not,” replied Dershowitz. “If it were to be prosecuted the First Amendment would trump. A candidate has a right to get information from whatever source the information comes."

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said last week that after the latest revelations about the meeting Donald Trump Jr. had with a Russian lawyer, that there was now “cold hard evidence of … the Trump family eagerly intending to collude possibly, with Russia … to influence American elections.”

Dershowitz offered some clarification.

"Collusion is not a crime unless it’s committing a criminal act."

"It’s inconceivable that anybody with knowledge of the Constitution or American history would argue a private citizen by securing information from for a campaign created treason,” he explained.

“It’s so dangerous to democracy to throw around these criminal law terms and accuse people willy-nilly,” he added.







The willy-nilly Democrats and MSM.

He has a point, but


Jul 17, 2017, 11:25 AM

just because "collusion" isn't illegal, doesn't mean the public corruption is somehow legal or acceptable. There are broad sets of laws at play, including campaign finance and computer fraud, here.

Beyond the Trump campaign---do *you* want foreign governments interacting with US politicians, passing along information that was obtained illegally??

I'm wayyyyyyyyyyyy more concerned about that than a country giving dirt on an opponent, if that did even happen.

Are you talking about the DHS complaint here in Georgia?

That one didn't happen.

You can care about federal government meddling and foreign governments, at the same time.

Jul 17, 2017, 12:32 PM

the Georgia Secretary of State admitted it as well, after the DHS findings were made public. Maybe that would persuade you, since he's the republican that requested the inquiry.

Or, you could continue to believe something that's proven false. Your call, man.

Most agree stretching is good after warming up or exercise.


Jul 17, 2017, 12:06 PM

Important to always stretch the right side as well as left side.

he is correct about this not being treason, but not many people are using that word. as far being shocked, he is wise enough to understand how the political game works and is just stirring the pot.

If the standard is 'is it illegal or not'


Oct 30, 2015, 12:11 PM

then that's a pretty low bar.

A better question is 'is it right or wrong' to conspire with a hostile foreign government to get yourself elected to public office.

Collude-verb

"come to a secret understanding for a harmful purpose; conspire."

What politician give a rat's #### where dirt from their opponents comes from? No evidence of a conspiracy has been submitted that I know of. The only 'understanding,' I saw what the transfer of dirt on Hillary.

The lying about all this is the real crime. I don't like being lied to by a sitting POTUS. I think they all lie and I'm not ever happy with that.
