Dershowitz: Trump Had Right to Call Comey Off Flynn's Trail

[Putt4Dough]

President Donald Trump had a constitutional right to tell FBI Director James Comey not to prosecute former national security adviser Michael Flynn, constitutional expert Alan Dershowitz said Saturday.

In remarks on "CNN Newsroom With Ana Cabrera," the Harvard law professor said there are two remedies for those who are outraged over Trump's firing of Comey after the president reportedly pressed Comey to drop his investigation of Flynn – "amend the Constitution, [or] don't vote for him."

Anyway, everyone should also carefully consider the arguments made by constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz presented some compelling legal insight. “The president,” he writes, “is the head of the unified executive branch of government, and the Justice Department and the FBI work under him and he may order them to do what he wishes.”

Former FBI director James B. Comey likewise confirmed during yesterday’s testimony that, “as a legal matter, [the] president is the head of the executive branch and could direct, in theory, we have important norms against this, but direct that anybody be investigated or anybody not be investigated. I think he has the legal authority because all of us ultimately report in the executive branch up to the president.”

Does it not shake you that the President of the United States needs you to post a defense of his actions ?????

I am sickened by most of what he says and does.

HE was well within his rights to call the FBI director a NUT JOB in the presence of the head of Russian spy organization and only to the Russian press who made sure that got out there loud and clear.

Did he break the law....no, but I assume from your post that you defend that action which was all over the world with an hour promulgated by the Russian media. By the way, the two men meeting ALONE EXCEPT FOR RUSSIAN MEDIA had been banished from the White House and then he welcomed them with open arms

You must be so proud

I just posted what Dershowitz (Harvard Constitutional Law) and Comey (former FBI Director) said. Maybe you can take it up with them.

Actually, I never even heard that being questioned.

For that to matter enough to start a thread tells me you totally and completely miss the big picture of what this man is doing to our country and doing it on a world wide stage.

This is making American rotten, not trusted, a lying nation who cannot be trusted under any or all circumstances, and while almost all countries recognize what is going on in Russia and around the world, our President could not even yesterday, when served a lollipop question, say anything bad about them, not has he ever.

PS....Sorry, I do, in fact recall, this being discussed on one of the talk shows on a cable news network, but seemed to me to be the fill in kind of thing. Sorry.....I was wrong when I said I never heard that discussed

And Dershowitz explained that he voted for Hillary. You have to give the guy credit. He remains non-partisan as respects the legal issues here.

Old news, Trump tweeted that in response to Comey's leak to the NYT. When a very liberal Harvard Constitutional Law Professor tells you no laws were broken and that there will be no grounds for impeachment, you might want to listen.

He is not very liberal. He is a defense lawyer for the most part.

LOL, Defense lawyers are almost always liberals. Prosecutors tend to be conservative.

Look, Trumpeachment is not going to happen, this whole thing is a political scam, all the Senators and Reps know this, they knew Trump and his campaign are guilty of nothing but winning an election long ago, you are getting played.

Here is another opinion from another Harvard professor, Lawrence Tribe.
Laurence Tribe on MSNBC talking about DT & whether he could be indicted. - Democratic Underground (https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029180079)

Tribe also said the same thing in MSNBC.

FBI agents are impartial. When Mueller calls Trump to testify, he is going to take Trump to school. If it becomes a question of who do you believe Trump or Comey, that is a no brainer, Comey.

Tribe does seem like a liberal from what I know about him. Dershowitz likes to cause trouble and get attention.

I can easily envision Trump becoming apoplecticly enraged during questioning by Mueller (or Congress), standing up and attempting to leave the room...while screaming..."I won the popular vote, I had the largest inauguration turnout ever, I'm the President and I don't have to answer to anyone." :1rotfl:

Yes, I truly believe he is this mentally ill. :ohdear:
