Dershowitz: Comey Was a ‘Coward’ For Leaking; Says Obstruction Non-Existent Against the President

Get in here shills. It’s time for your daily lesson on the sacred documents of the U.S. Constitution. Following up on his emphatic belief that the President can, essentially, do whatever the hell he wants with the FBI head — the famed Harvard Law professor called the former director a ‘coward’ for leaking his notes to the press, saying “I thought it shows a lot of cowardice. The head of the FBI (audible laughter), the guy is supposed to be a strong and powerful guy and he’s afraid of a couple seagulls (referring to Comey’s depiction of the press outside his home to seagulls).”

He added, “He should have had the courage to get on television and release the memos and talk about it or not talk about it. But to have some friend become his surrogate was absurd.”

Dershowitz then reiterated his thoughts about the non-existent obstruction case against the President.

Coward? Seems to me that Comey shouldn't just hope that there are no tapes of him and *Trump*! Lynch meets privately....*alone*...with Billy Bob (chatting about grand kids,of course) and then instructs Comey to drop the word “investigation”?!?!

And an even bigger coward is Paul Ryan and his fellow GOPe scum that infest Wash. DC.

President Trump is under assault by the Deep State and the Republican Party continues to sit on its fat, corrupt ass and do NOTHING to defend him.

COWARDS!

While I am no big fan of Dershowitz, he really does have his moments concerning things like this and also when pointing out how the Dems want to kiss up to the Islamists and completely betray the Jewish vote that helped them big time over the years.

I’m thinking that the tapes were found when they cleaned out Comey’s office. I think it was Comey who did the taping and Trump was telling him that he now had them.

I don’t know weather they are cowardly or complicit. But I do know that they are not worthy of my trust or respect.

I was amused by the comedy of an obviously gray headed New York Jew being interviewed on the streets of NYC parroting the witch hunt highlights and ignoring the fact the President was vindicated. Although the NYV jews are presented as smart and enlightened, the interviewee was smart but dumb as a fence post.

NYC Jews seem to be brainwashed morons

Excellent point! If only...

Still, I’d be surprised if the rat bastard would keep any of that stuff in his office. But maybe... And maybe if they found those tapes, they found other, much more incriminating, tapes that can prove unlawful surveillance.

Well, it is possible that there were searches elsewhere simultaneous with the office search

I have been intrigued by Dershowitz suddenly getting “religion” in defending Trump and attacking Comey.

Make no mistake—Dershowitz’s legal reasonings are helping to sink the Comey ship with each passing day.

But I ask the age-old question “Cui bono?” Who benefits?

Let’s not forget that Dershowitz, Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein are joined at the hips. Clinton and Dershowitz were frequent flyers to Epstein’s Pedo Island. In fact, Dershowitz was part of the legal effort to get a plea foe Epstein back in the 2007 era.

Connecting the dots, I see Dershowitz’s efforts more of an effort to protect the CLintons and to deflect any further inquiry from Hillary for her crimes by scapegoating Comey.

Comey deserves the scorn he is getting from all quarters, no doubt.

But Dershowitz does not make a habit of coming to the defense of Republicans.

Politics indeed makes strange bedfellows, but not always for the reasons we think.

-- I don't know weather they are cowardly or complicit. --

I pick complicit. Ryan knew what Grassley and Feinstein did, what Rubio alluded to, the only leak that DIDN'T come out, was that Trump was in the clear.

Congress is gaslighting the public just as much as the press is. Congress has no room to be critical of a lying press.

That’s true. The creep is 3,000 miles away in California so they could work pretty much uninterrupted. I’d posted earlier that they probably had warrants for the house, bank account records, safety deposit boxes, and phone history. I sure hope so.

I will say this again. I believe Comey knows that Trump has Comey’s office records that incriminate him on the NY Times leak. That is why he surprisingly fronted himself as the leaker at the hearing. He was trying to take the sting out of his cowardly, criminal act. Additionally, it would not be surprising that President Trump's coy references to ‘tapes’ suggests that Sessions found Comey’s recordings of his meeting with the President in Comey’s office on the day Comey was fired and Comey’s office cleaned out. There likely is a lot of incriminating material in this haul because Comey never saw it coming and did not destroy the goods.

The leaked memo was a fishing attempt to try to find out if they existed - he knows the truth will sink him so it was worth the risk.

Coward? It takes brass balls to attempt to take down an elected president.

Comey is subversive of our form of government. Congress finds this to be honorable service.

The common connection between DJT and Dershowitz is Netanyahu.

Trump Asked Alan Dershowitz to Tell Netanyahu ‘Time Is Ripe’ for Mideast Peace

Conservative tree house is suggesting that they are not Trump’s, but could be from bugs he discovered in the White House.

If Comey was releasing info from clandestine bugging of the WH that he was privy to, then he truly is in big trouble.
