Dershowitz cited this professor for his defense. The professor says he’s wrong

Alan Dershowitz, a member of President Trump's legal team, cited Harvard Law Professor Nikolas Bowie as a scholar who supports the argument that abuse of power doesn't warrant impeachment. Bowie told CNN's Anderson Cooper and Jeffrey Toobin that Dershowitz is wrong. #CNN #News

    1. @keir farnum Sergey Lavrov is currently a guest of King Donald’s in the Oval Office (or are they REALLY renting space in one of Donald’s “properties”?)with the full Russian diplomatic corps’ retinue of GRU agents, briefing Trump about what Vladimir “the BOSS” Putin wants done during the next decade.

    2. Bryan P   ………………..    Remember THIS:  Alan Dershowitz made his FIRST mark as a ‘celebrity lawyer’ and limelight word-twisting prostitute by defending NAZIS !  He’s been on the white supremacist payroll for a LONG time !

    1. Christopher DiPierro, yeah, that’s why Justin Amash left the Republican Party to become an independent. Because he’s not a real conservative. That’s why congressman Scarborough left the Republican Party. That’s why so many people are leaving the Republican Party that Trump and the likes of people like you have perverted! Because we’re not conservatives to you because we won’t accept Trump’s perversions, wickedness, criminality and corruption.

      When the f*ck did those attributes become conservative? When? YOU are not the conservative. And nor is Trump. How about you admit you’re not a conservative and admit you’re just a Trumpist.

      And no, conservatives are not leaving the Republican Party to become democrats. By no means. Absolutely not. They’re leaving in disgust to become independents. You guys are tearing the party in two!

      Trump is an abomination. So go to your leader Trump, that lifelong Democrat who called himself a Republican for no other reason than to deceive you into voting for him because people like you will vote for any vile thing that pretends to be a Republican. The Democrats wouldn’t have him in his first try at a presidential run. Then he tried with two other parties. And that didn’t work. Until he found the “base” in the Republican Party would vote for anything that called itself Republican no matter how vile or repugnant or how much of a sexual offender. And so he called himself a Republican. You’ve been duped by a con artist posing as a Republican to make him president to enrich himself.

      Take your cult leader and form your own Party. You and your leader are not Republicans and you’re not conservatives.

    2. Cathy L Here’s a Summary for those of you who care to know the REAL reason why the House of Representatives are calling for impeachment of President Trump.

      Hunter Biden is former Vice-President Joe Biden’s son. He is 45 years old with a long history of drug abuse. Hunter Biden was kicked out of the military in 2014 for testing positive for cocaine. Shortly after that he was appointed to the board of directors of Burisma, Ukraine’s largest private producer of gas.

      Two weeks before he was appointed, his father the Vice President of the United States encouraged Ukrainian leaders to place him on their board. Hunter Biden has ZERO experience or knowledge in the gas industry or in the Ukraine. He was paid $50,000 a month for his position on the board and a money transfer of 3 MILLION dollars was made from the Ukraine through Latvia, Cyprus, and finally to the US into accounts owned by Hunter Biden.

      The top prosecutor in the Ukraine was investigating corruption and was getting ready to interview Hunter Biden regarding his dealings with Burisma and the apparent money laundering of the 3 million dollars. Before hunter Biden could be interviewed Joe Biden leaned on the Ukrainian government and threatened to withhold over 250 MILLION in US foreign aid unless the prosecutor was fired. The prosecutor was fired. The investigation into hunter Biden and Burisma ended, the Ukraine got the financial aid.

      Hunter Biden was also involved in a deal with China where his father the Vice President was working on US business. This deal netted hunter Biden over 1.5 BILLION dollars! That story will bust wide open next. I mean what would cause China to hand over 1.5 BILLION dollars to a known drug addict who just happens to be the son of the Vice-President? Think that through America. It gets worse!!

      The Vice-President Joe Biden took his son Hunter on Air Force Two with him to China in 2013. Ten DAYS after that trip, the Bank of China signed this deal with Hunter Biden’s company for over a 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS!! Some of this money went to a company called Henniges who makes very sensitive military equipment for the US military.

      Wanna know who else was involved in the China deal as Hunter Biden’s Partners? You can’t make this stuff up people! While John Kerry was Secretary of State his stepson Chris Heinz and mob boss Whitey Bulger’s nephew Billy Bulger were partners in the company along with Hunter Biden. Wow right? The sons of the two most prominent decision makers in America!! How did that escape scrutiny!!

      Amazing how the media isn’t even a tiny bit interested in this, and how as soon as it starts getting reported, they start impeachment proceedings against President Trump! They are hoping no one is paying attention, that the American people are too stupid, lazy, indifferent, and apathetic to pay attention. Don’t be one of those Americans. For goodness sake wake up and start actually thinking again instead of letting the media tell you what and when to be outraged about. Good grief what has happened to critical thinking?? Do most people even know they are merely pawns?

    3. @ryvr madduck And Trump made it easy by being corrupt, obstructing justice and pressuring a foreign government to “Announce” an investigation of a political rival. He then blocked the turnover of documents and records to the House of Rep, thus obstructing congress. Thats exactly what innocent people do..

    4. Gary Parsons …
      Don’t have a problem with nepotism when it’s just trump doing it right though? Anyways, I never agree with people that don’t even know me and heard a tiny comment I made from my own thoughts and claim them now know what I think. Not something someone told me to think On state tv.

  1. “It isn’t illegal if the president does it”. Is it any wonder that divine command theory loving evangelicals support this president? It’s all about might makes right. We’re heading down the road to authoritarianism in a big big way

    1. NO… WE ARE HEADED FOR WAR IN THE STREETS, IF THESE OLD WHITE MEN CONTINUE THINKING THIS IS 1920 OR 1960. ONCE THE JUDGE, PROSECUTOR AND GOVERNMENT IS AS CORRUPT AS THE CRIMINAL IN AMERICA WE DON’T GET AUTHORITARIANISM, WE GET SOCIETAL REVOLUTION, BC THOSE HEADING THE SYSTEM ARE NO LONGER PRETENDING TO BE FAIR.

    1. Ai Jax Another juvenile, smoothbrained ploy: slinking away when you don’t have the intellectual capacity to deal with a logical, factual argument. To paraphrase one Louis DePalma: ‘I wish you were more intelligent if only that could realize how stupid you are.’

    2. CentaurusRelax314 you’re the one who keeps evading the fundamental idea of innocent until proven guilty with your long winded comments.

      Speaking of facts, beside wasting millions investigating Trump, bashing the President every minute of every day for 4 years, infringing on his rights while making the FISA process a joke and blocking his every action, what have the democrats done the last 4 years?

    3. @Ai Jax deflect when you have nothing to say.

      “innocent until proven guilty” only matters in the courts buddy. Stop acting like there is some sort of obligated honor system.

      You must be stupid if you don’t understand how congress works. the house passed hundreds of bills that were all delayed into oblivion by McConnell.

  2. Poor old Alan! Look at him sweat and twitch! Alan knows he isn’t t telling it true!, does trump drug these old goofs or what?.

  3. *Dirty Drawers Dirwashitz has been caught lying again! Caught with his drawers down, but will say they were up!*
    .

  4. O J Simpson was acquitted. Does anyone think he was innocent? History will treat trump the same way.

    1. @Ron Sandlin I hope you find the strength to forgive me, I never meant for that monster to suck dry your real daddy, the Clown. My love and compassion to you and the family, peace and blessings.

    2. @Tavernum This trial is essentially the same thing, I don’t think anyone truly believes the allegations are false, just whether or not it rises to the level of removal from office.

    3. @Ingrid Dubbel
      Cause you live under a rock where people think Cassie Anthony is innocent and OJ is guilty. Judged by twelve doesn’t matter what you think. You probably think Bill Cosby is guilty and disregard the kangaroo court. Wake up stop letting Fox News brainwash you.
      Innocent

    1. @Luc Bac that’s EXACTLY it. However, christian conservatives dont seem to care as long as you sport the Republican badge…

    2. Patrick Bullard

      Cult?

      You people have trusted the TV corporate news media. You’re full of opinion and no facts.

      Wrong about Hillary’s landslide in 2016. Wrong about Russia. Wrong about Trumps taxes. Wrong again! The Democrat prosecutors need to prove that either: (1) the Constitution was violated; or (2) Federal laws were violated. Nothing was cited in the articles.

      Trump tries to expose the overt Biden corruption in Ukraine and what do the Democrats do? Gaslight him.

      Facts:

      In March 2016, then-Vice President Biden told Ukraine’s then-President Petro Poroshenko that the Eastern European nation would not get a $1 billion U.S. government loan guarantee unless it fired Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma Holdings — a natural gas extraction company whose board of directors included Hunter Biden, the veep’s son.
      *THAT’S EXTORTION*
      Here’s Biden’s Quid Pro Quo.

      Wrong about Russia.

      Ray McGovern is a 27 year veteran of the CIA. He confronted Adam Schiff over alleged Russian Interference in the 2016 presidential election. Schiff is ruined and exposed. https://youtu.be/ngIKjpucQh8?t=2481

      Here’s why we voted for Trump.

      In October of 2016, the FBI released these files. FBI.gov

      https://vault.fbi.gov/william-j.-clinton-foundation

    3. Hildebeast Clinton wrong because more then the United States was calling for fired the Prosecutor General Viktor Skokie ! Sorry but the Europe
      Union also was calling for his fireing plus the republicans and the democratic signed a bill that support the fired! Sorry tRump is wrong !

    1. @GyzmoThaAngelofDeath ..Trump basically said…”I KILLED him because I THOUGHT he was a bad guy”…and Dershowitz said that as long as the “President BELIEVES he’s doing the right thing” then he is ABOVE THE LAW….If Trump gets away with this then he will be CLOSING POLLING STATIONS in any State that he thinks he VULNERABLE in…because “IF HE THINKS IT’S IN HIS BEST INTEREST” then it’s LEGAL!!!

    2. @GyzmoThaAngelofDeath you are talking about vigilante justice. Does not equate with rule of law. The question is who decides whether the guy you killed is ‘bad’ or not? That is exactly what they are trying to do. The simple rule of natural justice is that one cannot be the judge, jury and executioner. What you are arguing implies exactly that.

    1. Richard Jones Adam schiff is under investigation for his involvement with ed buck and drugging and raping little boys

    2. @Jeff Hershey …provide any link to a legitimate source that says Adam Schiff is under investigation for anything…let alone anything to do with Ed Buck. And the two men who died in his apartment on drug overdoses were grown men. One in his 50s. Not little boys.

    3. My Own Private Idaho he’s a democrat commie pinko that’s reason enough for the death penalty democrats are all kiddie fiddlers and are the scum of the earth so boys maga /kag Trump 2020 ivanka trump2024 and 2028 then don jr for 8 more then Barron should be able to run

    1. @Gonzo Kaporal To be fair. I hardly think “attempted” murder would be a crime by gop standards (if the accused would be a party member). Current legal understanding from gop seems to argue that only only crimes carried out successfully in full are to be considered “problematic”

    2. Major Minor
      It depends, if you’re White and rich anything goes, but try to have a barbecue while Black and they’ll call the cops in an instant.
      The truth is that Republicans did cut the funding for Public Education every occasion they got since Nixon.
      There voters are now so uneducated that they literally believe anything they’re told by their masters.

    1. Yeah, that was some STUNNING 1984 doublespeak right there. America has become amazingly Orwellian under the orange turds presidency.

  5. This is so embarrassing for Republicans, but they deserve this fiasco.

    History will always remember the most corrupt administration.

    1. Now that the Rethugliklans have complete power, they will rig elections to keep that power. This impeachment will be rewritten by the same Rethugliklans if not completely subsumed.
      There is an i next to Clinton’s name because he was impeached. That will not be added to tRumputin’s name. The Rethugliklans will make sure of that. History will be rewritten to fit their agenda and narrative. Facts won’t matter. Truth won’t matter.
      The only people who will know are the people watching this but their voices will be silenced. They will no longer have a platform to speak.

    2. Crippycooke Rigghhhttt embarrassing for the republicans LOL I’m sorry but I’m not for either side and the republicans a wiping the floor with the democrats…

  6. You are Admitting your Guilt 100% the moment you higher “Gerzkoitz”!! He’s Never Ever not once represented an Innocent Man…
    He makes his living lying!

  7. Professor Bowie did a great job of laying out the law here. Excellent explanation. Dershowitz is way out there.

  8. Mark Twain: “It’s Easier to Fool People Than to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled.”
    Also Mark Twain: “No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot.”

    1. @Bboy Genetics
      You really think that Americans without college degree voting is a big problem for America?
      If you do, then your represent the second quote of Mark Twain above.
      This is because the overabundance of evidence to prove your thinking wrong about non-college educated voters is there; but you, being as Twain correctly stated, would not be “persuaded” by said evidence. lol

      Little one powerful people are in powerful positions of governmental leadership NOT because non-college educated people vote for them, or because deluded college-educated idiots vote for them. lol

      The use of voting IS PRIMARILY to delude idiot citizens that by voting they have the means to determine the behaviors of people who are a lot smarter and a lot more powerful than them.

      Powerful people in EVERY society, regardless of era, WILL ALWAYS make the way to positions of power and influence, whether college-educated idiots vote for them or non-college educated citizens vote for them.

    3. @nirbija Did I ask you for an essay? I’ll give you 2 facts that prove your entire bullshit essay wrong. Google it.

      1) Majority of college educated citizens did not vote for Trump.
      2) Majority of non-college educated citizens did vote for Trump.

      So you’re bull regarding “deluded college-educated idiots vote people into power” is a lie.

      But I’m sure this won’t “persuade” you. You’re too dumb to comprehend facts.

  9. This interview of Nicholas Bowie should played before congress since his name was brought as the wise voice.

    1. Why Trump isn’t getting removed CNN is presenting a fantasy for those who want Trump gone while preserving the establishment order which facilitated his ability to win.

      They only don’t like his style not the substance.

    2. Evolved 311 is a bot! The defenders of trump, Dershowitz, and the GOP must hide behind anonymity to avoid shame. They obviously understand their own degradation.
