Trump tweeting an attack on the "Special Council" this morning (quoting Dershowitz)

[highplainsdem]

Two tweets, now out of order because he apparently reposted what had been the first one...but however he might have revised it, he didn't catch the misspelling of counsel. Which suggests Cheeto is tweeting these himself, unless someone else who can't spell is helping him.

“Special Council is told to find crimes, whether a crime exists or not. I was opposed to the selection of Mueller to be Special Council. I am still opposed to it. I think President Trump was right when he said there never should have been a Special Council appointed because.....

...there was no probable cause for believing that there was any crime, collusion or otherwise, or obstruction of justice!” So stated by Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz.

Editing to add a tweet replying to the first link above, which shows the errors in the first version that Trump caught -- he'd misspelled whether as wether and typed the twice ("the the selection" ):

1. Dad must have paid a whole lot for Don to have a college degree. He's dumb as a bag of rocks.

2. He quoted pro-torture advocate Alan Dershowitz, guys. I guess that means Mueller better pack up

[Takket]

3. Funny he singled out that one quote

And not the thousands of other talking heads that have supported mueller

[highplainsdem]

14. And not even what Dershowitz said yesterday about there being no reason to fire Mueller.

4. Dershowitz

Wasn't he the guy that defended OJ by getting the jury to focus on the fact-finders rather than the facts?

It's the OJ Simpson defense.

16. That's an excellent analogy

and one I haven't thought of before When your client is guilty, you put the "cops" on trial.

5. Context: Did Dershowitz crawl out from under this rock to appear on Faux news last night?

Is this a recent statement Trump is latching onto (for dear life)?

9. Editing to correct what I just posted. Dershowitz made the comments Trump quoted on Lou Dobbs'

show on Fox Business last night, according to this article:

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/trump-quotes-alan-dershowitz-saying-hes-still-opposed-to-naming-robert-mueller-as-special-counsel

Dershowitz had made similar comments on Fox News, their America's Newsroom morning program, hours earlier, but he also said then that there was no reason to fire Mueller. I'm guessing Trump missed, or chose to ignore, that comment.

6. It Referred To Itself As President Blah Blah?

Third person including the title? What a maniac.

11. I keep re-reading that to

make sure I wasn't hallucinating.. lol

[highplainsdem]

12. Trump is quoting Dershowitz.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. I Figured That

And, as i should have expected, to dumb to use quotation marks.

[unblock]

7. Donnie solicited campaign contraband from foreign espionage on nation tv, but no probable cause??

[Mr. Ected]

8. And where in the AG's Special Counsel Regulations was Probable Cause required to launch

an investigation?

That's certainly not the standard and Dershowitz knows it.

It takes probable cause to ARREST someone, conduct a SEARCH, or to SEIZE one's property.

Apples and oranges, but the FOX crowd gobbles it up like red meat.

[Cha]

10. What's up with fucking dershowitz?

He's willing to ruin his rep for trump.. or did he even have one?

Why does he say there was no probable cause?
