Dershowitz: Mueller performing 'legal colonoscopy,' never should have been appointed
The Hill ^ | Maarch 20th, 2018 | By Joe Concha

Posted on 03/20/2018 1:25:31 PM PDT by Mariner

Lawyer Alan Dershowitz on Tuesday said Democrats are "fueling the speculation" around President Trump possibly firing special counsel Robert Mueller, adding that "there never should have been an appointment of special counsel."

"That would create a real problem on the Republican side of the aisle. I don’t think he’ll fire him or should fire him," he added.

"America's Newsroom" anchor Sandra Smith pressed Dershowitz on Trump's weekend tweets.

"The president with his tweets over the weekend and Monday morning saying 'this is the ultimate witch hunt' adds fuel to the fire saying this investigation never should have began in the first place. So what is the strategy there? Why put those things out there?" asked Smith.

Dershowitz responded by saying there had been "no probable cause" of crimes committed by Trump and that meant a special counsel was not necessary.

"First of all, the president is 100 percent right. There never should have been an appointment of special counsel and there was no probable cause that crimes were committed," said Dershowitz. "I’ve seen no credible evidence that crimes were committed by the president."

The Mueller train has run off the tracks. Right now, they are looking for ANYTHING to give their massas down at the DNC. ANYTHING! They are desperate.

“With the “investigation” now asking for Trump org financials, POTUS should file a suit against his own DOJ for harassment.”

I think that’s a brilliant idea! The Left has been abusing the judiciary to interfere with Trump’s agenda from day one, give them a taste of their own medicine.

Trump (and his children) should file a personal suit against Comey (and his publishing company), McCabe, Strozk, etc for defamation of the family and brand to the tune of a few hundred million dollars per person. Then Trump can start selectively declassifying information such as text messages and other documents as president to them use to sue the crap out of them personally. There is a much lower threshold for civil liability.

If Republicans were smart, which they are not, they would rail against Mueller and the fact that after 18 months he’s got absolutely nothing. Tens of millions of dollars being wasted. And tie this to the corrupt media’s over-the-top obsession to get Trump at all costs.

How about adding in the Obama’s egregious Constitutional violations into privacy, FISA, etc.

Republicans had better get on offense very soon because known to all of us, but unknown to them, Mueller is setting up to drop his bomb right after Labor Day. Whether there is any substance to what Mueller drops is irrelevant, it will allow the Dems and the corrupt MSM to fill ALL the space between Labor Day and the November election with wall-to-wall ominous criticizing — all according to plan.

I think he’s come a cuddling because he may know they are starting to go after the Clinton Machine (as far back as the Little Rock days). His tighty whities are all twisted up with them and the Lolita Express. He’s come all “Hide me, Rick” to us conservatives on every talk Show, taking such sense and logic and law. But his legal wisdom ends right about where his legs meet his stomach.

Wrong-wrong-wrong..there was not a shred of poop during my 2 colonoscopies!

I had 2 colonoscopies, and both times the worst part was drinking the awful tasting laxative liquid..a whole fricking gallon of it!

The colonoscopy procedure itself is totally painless, with the sedative administered.

Both times

The pain came after the procedure. For the next three days I would have murdered someone just to be able to fart.

Hmmm... I had no such problem. But here is what I did which might be the reason.

One week before colonoscopy, I ate only vegetables, whole grain bread and fruit. No meat, no eggs, no dairy. After the colonoscopy, I slowly added eggs, yogurt & fish to my diet for about a week.

Now I am nearing end of my 70’s and the doc said no more colonoscopies necessary for you.

SPOT ON
but I’m not sure that (various) Republicans want to hold onto power or to Trump

The only reason this happened is because we have a Keebler elf as AG who doesn't possess the intellectual firepower necessary to understand the witch hunt he would create. Or, maybe, it was all a part of the plan to bring down Trump. I don't want to believe that the idiot elf is an imposter so I'll go with gutless and naive.

Anyone defending the POS is worse.

I like him as a human, but Dershowitz is an insufferable liberal. He'll never be completely clean. Too often he talks out of both sides of his Democrat mouth.

Alan says that his father back in Brooklyn had a strong sense of justice and talked about how it was ....."the Jew's job to defend the underdog".

I would think he would consider his father's wishes when he sees the never ending, disgusting piling on Donald Trump.
