Dershowitz Says Special Counsel Will Help Trump: 'He's Going to Find No Crime'
Fox Nes ^ | May 19, 2017 | Fox News

Posted on 05/20/2017 5:42:21 AM PDT by libstripper

Although many on the left have expressed their approval of Robert Mueller being appointed as special counsel to investigate possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, Alan Dershowitz thinks Mueller could actually vindicate President Donald Trump, rather than bring about his downfall.

On "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Dershowitz, a legal scholar and Harvard University Law School professor, said he doesn't see a crime that necessitated the appointment of a special counsel.

The Special Counsel will find no crime, but he will find enough innuendo to give more grist for the media mill. The goal is to damage Trump, not destroy him. They want him there in a weakened state. The Democrats want him to be something for the Republicans to have to explain in 2018, and the Republicans want him to just rubber-stamp their programs and not be able to push his own policies.

The only way the stop this is for us to prove the real source of the DNC hack..

The Russian story has been bullshit since day one

It was an insider at the DNC that leaked it a Bernie bro that was pisssed off

Do that prove that “The Russia hack” is a political lie ..then it shows this all is a manufactured witch hunt The both government insiders in the press are in one

Depends on what political side he’s on. There has been no crime since this began and that didn’t stop the agenda from the left and the media. If this special counsel is motivated to do what the rest are doing.. hard telling what fake items he can “find”. If he’s honest and trustworthy (hard words to find in the justice dept or intel dept)... he can declare President Trump clean of any charges.

This and other innuendos from the left, are purely political and no truth to them. I can’t stand to watch Bret any more, but when he’s on for those moments before he gets the OFF... I wonder how can he do this to a man. He knows it’s a lie, but he professes to be balanced and report the news. I used to think he was a good person, but he’s a snake in the grass... just like all the rest. Is it to save his position? Does he hate Trump that much? Does he hate the voters out here that much and have no regard to the voting process? What motivates these guys who were decent and went off the deep end? He’s nothing more than a petty gossip monger who desires to overrule the people with his power at the mike and camera.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Not stupidity.

Most likely there are secret Swiss Bank accounts containing part of that money with the holders being: Obama, Kerry and Clinton.

TREASON.

>>And the unmasking investigation needs to go further, those involved need to be brought to justice, including Susan Rice.<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Flip Rice, then Abedin, and the Clinton/Obama/Soros crime syndicate will crumble.

I think Abedin may turn out to be the key. She has small children and a convicted pedophile hubby. She will not want to go to jail.

You know, 30, 20, even 10 years ago if someone would have said that Alan Dershowitz would be the voice of reason for the moderate left, I would have called BS on it. But now there it is. And that by the result of Alan not having moderated himself, but rather the left tilting so far left and embracing irrational political morals without regard to the law and the Constitution.

Oh no, no, no...they don't just want to destroy President Trump, they want to DESTROY him as fully as possible. If they could, they would strip him and his family of his wealth and throw him in prison for life for no other reason than defying them and being in their way. They are in the process of staging a (so far) bloodless coup, and they will not be deterred.

“Mueller was appointed by the Justice Department as special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.”

Please note that there is no, zero, mention of *who* will be investigated. And this matters.

What happens if Mueller discovers overwhelming evidence of *Democrats* interacting with Russians to influence the election? He might also implicate NGOs, the media and individuals involved in *that* scheme.

Is it not too late to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hillary’s crimes?

The big 'crime' now is Trump called Comey a 'nut job'... as if that's against the law.

It's NOT...

The press, left-wing nuts, and Hollywood scum call the President of the United States worse EVERY DAY.

When Comey decided to start the War On Cops to prove his "PC Credentials" to Obama by sending 75 FBI Agents to Ferguson in some over-blown witch hunt for nonexistent 'racists' he lost what few marbles he had left. Comey became a nut job. One with blood on his hands and blood on the hands of the FBI.

Cop blood.

When Comey decided Hillary ("DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM") should be given a pass for handing out classified information - like candy on Halloween - - he polished the nut job moniker with an air of ' kissing elite butt'...

And now the 'leakers' in the Agency of Shame are attempting to bow to elites by trashing everyday American citizens and their right to choose their own leaders... They are joining Comey in 'nutjob' status.

I am confident that if the NSA, FBI, CIA and Diane Slimestein have not found any wrong doing then neither will Mueller.

“He has to find something, in order to justify his salary, budget, and effort.”

He finds collusion between Russia, the Clinton campaign and the DNC to take down Sanders in the primary. And for that he gets a job in the administration.

As far as finding nothing, if that happens the rats will say it is because he was hired by Sessions and that is part of Trump’s team.

Scooter Libby committed no crime and Patrick Fitzgerald knew it, but he sent him to jail anyway.

“straight arrow” Mueller

Snort. Hardly. First, there's the Russian uranium. Second, he ignored the warnings issued by Russia, England and Saudi Arabia against the Boston Bombers. He's playing for the other team.

Actually, the way to do that is to get the Democrats to willingly agree to this special counsel, then “mission creep” him into investigating Hillary.

Aren’t Mueller and Comey friends? If so, how can Mueller be objective in his investigations? Isn’t he compromised from the get go?

Sorry but they have already said if any mention of Obama is found that will not be included. Mueller will remove to his own files. This is a setup all the way for Trump.
