Alan Dershowitz: Congress is trying to 'create crimes out of nothing'
the hill ^ | 11/10/19 | BY TAL AXELROD

Posted on 11/10/2019 12:30:52 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Attorney Alan Dershowitz warned that Americans should be “frightened” of the House’s impeachment investigation, accusing Democrats of trying to “create crimes out of nothing.”

“Whether you’re from New York or the middle of the country, you should be frightened by efforts to try to create crimes out of nothing,” Dershowitz said Sunday on John Catsimatidis’ radio show.

“Well, I spent the afternoon yesterday searching the federal criminal statutes from beginning to end. I couldn’t find the crime.”

The House’s impeachment inquiry was launched in September amid Democratic concerns that Trump leveraged $400 million in military aid to pressure Zelensky to publicly open an investigation on unfounded corruption allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden, a top political rival.

The White House has repeatedly blasted the House investigation as a "witch hunt" and decrying Democrats' efforts as "unhinged" last week after they voted to formalize the inquiry.

“First they made up collusion… I searched the statute books. There’s no crime of collusion… with a foreign country. After that ,they said obstruction of Congress,” Dershowitz said.

“In a desperate effort to try to find crimes [committed by] President Trump, they’re just making it up. And that means we are all in danger.”

A few words in a single sentence is not worth impeaching the President for.
Especially since no crime was committed.

I might watch, to see it blow-up on the Democrats.

"Okay, but who are you going to vote for, Dersh?"
"Well, the Democrats, of course, as always. Why do you ask?"
Thanks Jim Rob.

He may be maintaining a low profile since is name has been coming up in the same sentence with Epstein and Slick in the Lolita Express. IMHO

More accurately they are trying to punish President Trump for the crimes committed by the previous usurpation.

Of course they are. They don’t have any real crimes, so they have to construct fake ones out of whole cloth and hope that the stupid people and those who are not paying attention will fall for it. Even with the media helping to advance the lies, this will not work. This gives us a good chance to win back the House.

It’s called fascism and the left can’t survive without it.

The people perpetrating this travesty of justice must not be allowed to go unpunished. They need to go to prison after this. ALL of them. Some even need to go to the gallows.

To hell with what the lying fascist media says about that.

Laura Ingraham had Dershowitz on her show a day after a reporter “outed him” as being one of Epstein’s partners in crime.

“haven’t heard from dersh for a long time- did fox can him or something? He was a regular on there practically-”

Fox had Dersh laying low because of his connections to the Epstein saga (Dersh was one of Epstein’s lawyers) so any time the Epstein case and/or death flares up on TV, Dersh disappears for a while until the Epstein media blitz dies down again.

Obviously.

It's a 4-year-long effort to stop Trump. Why? Because he will expose the truth about the establishment, and truth will destroy them.

This "impeachment" farce is nothing but their latest attempt to nullify the 2016 Presidential Election. It is election fraud on a national level.

The crime is obvious. Obstruction of injustice.

I wonder if Barr could investigate crimes that Trump is accused of and then he would have subpoena powers to force Shifthead and all of those witnesses questions under oath.

I went my whole life, hating the sh*t out of The Dersh.

Yet now? Even with his Epstein troubles:

I consider him almost courageous.
