We have devolved into a Banana Republic.

Exactly what I said in a previous post.

Somebody explain to me where the evidence of probable cause for a crime is in this search warrant because without evidence of probable cause, this warrant is flatly unconstitutional as is most everything surrounding this nonsense.

Dershowitz seems to be waking up to the threat of unconstitutional government.

I’ll give him a pat on the back for getting this right, but how could the guy vote for Hillary Clinton? Surely he must know of her shady criminal-like behavior, and the implications of them. Did he seriously think that “go along to get along person” who agrees with everything Mueller is doing, would be good for the nation?

What a disconnect with reality, to vote for her.

Douche doesn’t care all that much about the traditional Constitution. His Leftism isn’t nihilist, so he can imagine the same power being used on Trump being used on the next Dem president. He’s afraid of the precedent.

Banana Republic? Yes, I have thought so for several years in fact since the Bushes and earlier.

I don’t think we should give up anything more without a hell of a fight else we will be lost.

The silence among most civil libertarians regarding the recent raid shows that we are losing that valuable neutrality.

I always like hearing what Alan Dershowitz has to say about a matter and respect his insight. But he is incredibly naïve when it comes to how the Left operates. He voted for Obama, then was shocked and angry when Obama screwed over Israel. Now he's shocked that "civil libertarians" aren't defending Trump on the raid of his attorney's office.

He shouldn't be surprised. The civil libertarians are completely consistent. They always were a tool of the Left to beat down traditional institutions. Their goal isn't to defend civil liberties, its to tear down the Right. For some reason Dershowitz doesn't understand this.

So Trump’s lawyer can’t talk?

MSM can’t get a quote from him? The man is speechless?

Clintons did it.

They and they alone are responsible for the decline in civility and the weaponizing of the various departments of the government to silence and even murder their political enemies.

They are a dangerous duo, and until they are removed from the freedom of the streets they will continue to corrupt every damn thing they can get their filthy money grubbing hands on, and Chelsea as well. She ins not innocent.......................

Cohen would be his biggest catch in the unlikely event he could be induced to turn against his client. So, stay tuned to this unfolding drama, but remember that prosecutorial tactics used today against President Trump may tomorrow be used against Democrats — and even against you.

We might be skipping Banana Republic and going straight to totalitarian hellhole...

The FBI is given explicit rights in the US Constitution
overseeing everything else — except what is controlled
by Obama and the Moslem Brotherhood and the Clinton
Foundation. Says so right there in English.

We no longer have the government we were given. All of the basic ideas behind our government are being ignored, and often criticized by BOTH parties. It’s rare that someone stands by principles like this. From congressmen to high schoolers, a majority of almost every group (90+% of media) no longer cares about concepts like

- consent of the governed
- no taxation without representation
- the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th amendments

These basic ideas are only praised and accepted in cases where they help _ME_. They are hated when they help _THEM_. Every single issue we fight over is meaningless if the principles we base our arguments on are meaningless. Once the basis of government is meaningless, we have no government of law - only authoritarians who sway like the wind and do what they want. Seeing the limited reaction to this, I think it’s safe to say that we no longer have a constitutional government.

Why didn’t we just have a search warrant for Lois Lerner’s lawyer after she pled the 5th?

Everything is perfectly clear.

Laws and the Constitutional rights means nothing when attacking Republicans.

They are only there to protect Democrats.
