Dershowitz in 1998: Doesn’t have to be crime to impeach

In an interview from 1998 about the Clinton impeachment, attorney Alan Dershowitz says it "certainly doesn't have to be a crime" to be impeachable. This is opposite of his defense of President Trump over the weekend. #CNN #News

    1. Funny thing, you seem to ignore the fact that everyone on your side now are in fact marxists- https://amac.us/democrats-allow-communists-to-infiltrate-their-party-across-the-nation/
      Whether socialism or communism, marxism in general relies on lies, coercion and force. ”Propaganda” is a form of force. The most interesting thing however, is that you’ve been convinced by leftist commies that one of the greatest mass murderers in human history was a ”fascist” in order to ”distance” him from marxist ideology. Yes, Hitler was in fact a PROUD socialist by what he said, did, and even ADMITTED himself, and you’re following THE SAME ideology-http://thelibertarianrepublic.com/7-quotes-prove-adolf-hitler-proud-socialist/

      Now let’s explore ”why” you believe as you do- ”All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within itself—that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.

      It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.
      ”.

    1. Félicien Forgues, What about Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’s comments in 1998? What able Fatso Nadler’s comments in 1998? What about nervous Nancy’s comments in 1998? Alan D is waaayy more honest and smarter than any of those bozos. Get your head out of your arse dummy💪🤷‍♂️😏👈🏻

  1. Term limits is the only way to change this. A corrupt partisan like Mitch McConnell should never be allowed to do what he’s done to our government.

    1. @Michael Nolte and if you knew anything about the EC you would know that its only decided 5 elections in history…. 2 for GOP in the last 20 yrs and once for Trump already….. and if the popular vote doesnt matter who cares who YOU vote for, why tell us?

    2. @Michael Nolte The fact that you jump to conclusion about my being a “Democrat” underscores how you, far-right lunatics, are removed from reality. As per the Constitution, I understand that it is meaningless to you and your Trump cult.

    3. @Everblue Freediving The popular vote does not matter. Why cant you idiots understand that. The CONSTITUTION give the final vote to the Electoral College. If you don’t like it, change the Constitution. Good luck with that one since it take 3/4 of the states to ratify the change and the smaller states, which are in the majority will never approve it. You have to campaign in all the states, not just the big three. Hilary knew that, but she believed MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and all the other experts that told her she was going to win by a landslide. She hardly bothering to campaign in Michigan, Pennsylvania and especially Wisconsin. Trump won the Electoral College with 304 votes compared to 227 votes for Hillary Clinton. Trump also received 62,979,636 votes. What you idiots don’t understand that that is now a lot of pissed of people. I did not vote for Trump, but my wife did, so add one more to those pissed of people.

    4. @Farid You could be a Communist or a Socialist or a belong to a mental institution. I lean to believing the latter. You either have never finished high school or you are not even from the US. The Constitution seems to be a document that you are incapable of understanding.

    5. @Michael Nolte It seems that you are worst than expected… the bar was already pretty low. A high-school dropout who dares talk about education. You guys can be funny at times. Drinking too much of Fox Kool-Aid, huh? Luckily idiots of your likes are hardly 40% of the national electorate; cannot wait for the November beating. What will you do then? Take to the streets with your mob mindset, like in Charlottesville? You’re a national disgrace.

    1. keir farnum Like who? Nobody that has anything to do with what you liars say Trump is guilty of. Trump won’t be leaving the White House till 2024, so enjoy!

    2. @Tom Griffin Libtards flock to CNN… How special… Two years Mueller which hunt: NO CRIME… Two Frivolous Articles of Impeachment: NO CRIME.

      Yes, you need a crime to impeach… HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS is the standard… Where is the strong and convincing evidence of a CRIME?

      There is NONE… Go get a 5 year supply of Prep-H…. President Trump will be Acquitted FOREVER…

    3. @HARRY CALLAHAN I will go on a shooting spree if he loses. Because if he loses, it will be because the Democrats cheated AGAIN! But so many people are so disgusted with all the lies from you TDS suffering losers, that he will most likely win in a landslide, so you can rest easy. 😂

    1. @brian gardner Also 65 to 70% of Americans want this nightmare to be over and Trump gone!!!! The rest of you of course know what you can do!!

    2. Are referring to Epstein and his good buddy Bill Clinton, who was a frequent visitor to Epstein’s private island.

    3. @William H Music 2020 …
      Many are those who, as they began your line of questioning others, they too eventually become one. Just saying because you seem too curious/obsessed, really!
      Either way keep us posted. We all want to know how it worked out for you.

    1. @Joe Moer , just when I thought there couldn’t possibly be a fool left in this country who believes trump – another one pops up. cut your losses Joe, you’ve made your money.

    1. Amazing that CNN has Muppets sitting at a computer deleting comments as they come in. Are things that bad that you have to delete comments from opposition as soon as they come through. No you can’t allow someone with the opposite view to the left wing brainwashed CNN crowd to comment. You’ve just deleted my comment as soon as I put it up. It disappeared and went from 34 comments to 33. Amazing the way an open Worldwide line of different views and opinions can be wiped out in an instant…but then again that’s what Communism is. You have been doing this quite alot lately. I must not troll this comment section,I must not offend CNN and it’s brainwashed followers. I’ve screenshot this comment…. Muppets.

    2. @O SNOOPY SNOOP Look, I will roughly repeat what I said to you a few minutes ago, although the comment was only up and they deleted it. It is fairly regular with me. This President will not be impeached. He has just led the Democrats and this muck of a channel into a trap. They’ve lied to you for three years and he and his team is about to show exactly the corruption that they have been involved in. I could go on and on but let’s leave that to this week. In the meantime, the watchers of these comments are on notice.

    3. Sperup AD Real treason & corruption completely ignored by the Democrat party, and the corrupt leftist propaganda media

      ✅ In 2012, President Obama was overheard & talking on a ‘hot’ microphone telling President Dmitri Medvedev of Russia he would have “more flexibility” to negotiate with Vladimir Putin after the election is over

      ✅ Hillary Clinton deleted 33,000 emails, then smashed her BlackBerry phones with hammers and bleach bit the hard drive’s after subpoenas were issued.
      ✅ Hillary Clinton‘s campaign paid for the Russian lying fake dossier filled with lies & false information trying to frame Donald Trump with collusion. After she just colluded with the Russians herself
      ✅ Democrats launch the fake Russia collusion witchhunt investigation which found ‘no collusion’ on the part of Donald Trump by 13 angry Hillary Clinton donating Democrats. Yet the corrupt democrat witchhunt never looked at anything on the other side where the real collusion and crimes were committed.
      ✅ The Obama administration and Joe Biden sold Ukraine access to the White House in return for Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden who was just kicked out of the military for his cocaine use, and he received a job on the board doing absolutely NOTHING with a Ukrainian gas company which he has zero experience & paying him $50,000 per month
      ✅ In 2013, Joe Biden took his son Hunter Biden on Air Force two to China. 10 days later, Hunter Bidens firm got a $1.5 BILLION ,thats BILLION WITH a “B” , Dollar deal with the Chinese government bank

      Not being talked about, the Democrats are scared.

      Bill Barr & John Durham are investigating now.
      Major bombshell indictments are coming before the 2020 election for the crimes and treason the Democrats have committed.

    1. @hugh jorgan THERES PROOF FOOL AND NO ONE IN REPUBLICAN PARTY WANTS WITNESSES? CAN YOU TELL ME WHY IDIOT? TO COVER UP THE BS THEY HAVE DONE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS DUUUUHHHHH ASSFACE WHY YOU EVEN ON HERE LEAVING MESSAGES ANSWER THAT

    2. @hugh jorgan You “know facts are very upsetting”, because you’re upset about the facts. The Democrats are delighted the facts are coming to light, with more on the way. It’s safe to say you’re projecting your own fears, but that won’t change the facts.

    3. @hugh jorgan The Government Accountability Office has found that Trump broke the law, so you’re wrong there. Clinton was never convicted of any crime especially any felony, so you are wrong there, as well. Clinton was impeached, as was Trump. Impeachment does not necessarily have to involve a crime, the constitution and associated materials of the founding fathers make this clear, so wrong again.

  2. Dershowitz 1998: “It doesn’t have to be a crime” to impeach.
    Dershowitz 2020: Abuse of power is not impeachable.

    How is that a contradiction?
