For those keeping score, what a murderer’s row we have in the new additions to Trump’s dream legal team for the upcoming Senate trial:
-Alan Dershowitz, who luckily ‘kept his underwear on’ for all those massages with Jeffery Epstein. Did a heckuva job leading Epstein’s defense.
-Ken Starr, who called White House window washers and a dentist in for questioning in the Clinton affair, now saying no new material witnesses should be allowed. Added bonus - Baylor rape coverup, and of course, attorney for Jeffery Epstein.
-Pamela Bondi, infamous for being the Fla. AG who dismissed the case against the fraudulent Trump University, shortly after receiving 25k from Trump’s fraudulent charitable foundation. Buddy of Lev Parnas, because why not.
Robert Ray took over the various investigations of Clinton from Ken Starr. Arrested in 2006 for stalking a former companion.
-A whole rash of lesser miscreants, all of whom seemingly needed to do SOMETHING reprehensible enough to make the cut.
The crime syndicate is closing ranks, as expected.
Seems like a reputation-laundering operation to me. Senate republicans abdicate their duty and cancel the impeachment, and these dirtbags are rehabilitated as defenders of justice or something.
“I’m not happy seeing Richard Nixon’s gang being tried by blacks and liberals in the District of Columbia.” - Alan Dershowtiz’s (Courier Post, New Jersey, November 21, 1974)
“Based on the demographic criteria, the age of consent should be lowered. It certainly should not be as high as 17 or 16. Reasonable can disagree over whether it should be as low as 14. Fifteen would seem like an appropriate compromise.” Alan Dershowtiz (Los Angeles Times, May 7, 1997)
What? Have we used up all of our ire that there isn’t a small portion available for the esteemed Jay Sekulo, of the ACLJ (aka American Center for Lots of Jesus)?
The thing is, Trump’s fans would be amazed if told that their guy’s desire to make use of bribery has something to do with “corruption.”
From all they’ve been told, “corruption” is defined as ‘bad stuff that libruls and Democrats do to cause damage to the glorious supremacy of the White Man.’
I’m sure Dershowitiz had no personal stake in seeing such a change enacted. None whatsoever.
Wasn’t is so last week that Trump was going to appoint the top tier House clowns (Jordan, Meadows, Ratcliffe, et al) to be on his impeachment team? And then, after the slightly-less-deranged Republican senators suggested otherwise, Trump backed off on that hair-brained idea? (Or is it hare-brained?)(*)
So now, looks like Trump is appointing said clowns to his team after all – although, they will not actually speak at the trial before the senators. They will advise the president behind the scenes.
