He argued until he was blue in the face that Trump's Muslim ban was legal. Said it with complete, unshakable confidence and that it would get right through the courts. Well, he was flat out wrong but the cons promoted videos of that like it was video of the second coming of Christ. Now his video's saying Trump can pretty much do whatever he wants under the Constitution, are on fire with the cons.
CNN, MSNBC etc. know this so he has one job. Come on, say EXACTLY what the cons want to hear and claim it came from a "liberal" then and go home. Those videos make conservatives curious about tuning into CNN and MSNBC to see if their home boy Desrshowitz is on so they can get their rocks off and raise advertising bucks for "liberal" news sites.

Dershowitz isn't the one to decide what constitutes obstruction, just like he wasn't the one to decide if the travel ban was legal.
He is a grandstander, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was on trump's payroll, though I don't know, but his opinion doesn't make it so

(15,286 posts)last night and played a clip of Dershowitz saying this while showing it with a split screen of Tribe listening. Tribe could be seen just shaking his head. He said he respected Dershowitz, but that Dershowitz had forgotten a lot of constitutional law and couldn't "have been more wrong".
