100% CLEAR.
The House alleged felony bribery in Article I.
The Trump lawyers are dense and/or in bad faith, so let's do this step by explicit step.
Here's the bribery statute 18 USC 201:
A. Corrupt
B. Demand/Seek
C. Anything of value
D. For Official Act: pic.twitter.com/r17846ZLUK
The best rebuttal possible.Alan Dershowitz’s argument is contrary to both law & fact.— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) January 28, 2020
I'd like to know why Dershowitz, Cipolloni, etc. lying repeatedly to Congress isn't something that could get them a. convicted of perjury (they aren't members of congress, after all), b. disbarred.
ReplyDeleteI think it was Rustypickup who said people get to be more themselves as they get older. Dershowitz has gone from merely dishonest, hypocritical, two-faced and mendacious to squaring all of those. Ken Starr, too.
Disbarred should happen for making material misrepresentations to the Senate. But Roberts is sitting as Predidi g Officer, not as a judge, and it's not a courtroom. The Senate, IOW, will not charge them with contempt and the appropriate Bar will likely not investigate without that. You too was disbarred by Arkansas as part of a plea deal, not because that Bar investigated his perjury on their own initiative.
ReplyDeleteSomeone has to complain, IOW, and disbarment usually has to be adjudicated. Most Bars don't want that if they don't have to have it.
"You too" = Clinton. I'm on my phone, and auto correct is weird.
