So far my most articulate reaction to this @AlanDersh arg is OMG WTF
@AlanDersh To say Abuse of Power and Obstruction aren't impeachable is batsh*t
@AlanDersh As a former @AlanDersh student I officially wash my hands of all this
@AlanDersh I mean he is engaging but so is a particularly well-placed trash fire
@AlanDersh I'm no Con Law historian but neither is Dersh and this history is wacky
@AlanDersh I mean Bribery *did* happen here so what is he even talking about
@AlanDersh Dershowitz is like famous for saying impeachment doesn't require a crime
@AlanDersh Dersh is giving this argument instead of Turley because Turley says it's BS
@AlanDersh If criminal-like is the standard Dersh what Trump did is hella criminal-like
@AlanDersh Dersh is saying anything "akin to Bribery" is impeachable OMG YES OK!
@AlanDersh Getting confused remind me did Trump ask Dersh to speak or the Dems
@AlanDersh My god @AlanDersh is low-key a grenade in the middle of Trump's defense
@AlanDersh Is there any chance that Dershowitz only read the articles' *titles*?
@AlanDersh Is he saying only one branch of government can be above the law at once?
@AlanDersh I won't be surprised if he quotes Calvin & Hobbes and not the philosophers
@AlanDersh This is as wild a romp through history as I once heard Don King give in 1995 at Dartmouth
@AlanDersh I don't think I could offer a better argument than this for Trump's impeachment, so if that's what Dershowitz is doing this is the best trolling/stealth-disloyalty-to-client ever seen in the history of legal representation
@AlanDersh Can a defendant sue a lawyer for malpractice following an impeachment trial
@AlanDersh I'm developing a theory: Dershowitz, confronting the destruction of his good name, decided to *trick* Trump into putting him on his legal team so that he could *deep-six* Trump's defense and try to (thereby) win his good name back
I mean, it won't work, but what a plan to hatch!
I mean, it won't work, but what a plan to hatch!
@AlanDersh I keep waiting for a giant cane to appear from stage right to pull Dershowitz off-screen
@AlanDersh Seconds from now I expect:
@AlanDersh I haven't laughed this hard this ENTIRE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL
@AlanDersh It's like an old Catskills comedy routine: "Don't impeach my client, he's CRAZY!"
@AlanDersh This may be the greatest act of post-postmodern experimental performance poetry ever
@AlanDersh I've got to think Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID) has off-camera fallen asleep again
@AlanDersh Dershowitz calling his address "purely academic" is somehow at once unfairly self-aggrandizing and way too on the nose
@AlanDersh If I'm honest, Dersh's Criminal Law class did sometimes feel like this
@AlanDersh Look, all the guy is saying is that "criminal-type" behavior "akin" to "bribery" which is 100% exactly what we're talking about in this case is super-duper impeachable
@AlanDersh "Here I think I'm making a very important point" —@AlanDersh 😂
Kids, don't ever say something like this in a public address
Kids, don't ever say something like this in a public address
@AlanDersh Dershowitz legitimately just ended the most important argument of his life by saying oh and everyone disagrees with me on this
