Dershowitz is now arguing that Trump getting reelected is in America's best interest.Therefore Trump acted in America's best interest when he asked for Hunter Biden to be investigated,in the quid pro quo scandal.

Came to this thread to post what vermontsavant posted.

Article: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/30/politics ... index.html

This is completely batshit crazy and IMO if they go through with it sets a very dangerous precedent for the rest of trump’s presidency and all future POTUS.

It doesn’t even take a sh***y lawyer to realize that you can’t just say that you believed something was in the national interest and therefor you’re allowed to have done it no matter what it is. Wtf? Anyone with even a ~5th grade reading comprehension level can see that this is shady af.

Most of what you wrote could be said of the whole mess from the beginning. All kinds of bad precedence has been set.

He didn't argue that.

He argued …

1. if a potentially corrupt person could potentially become president,
2. let's call said person, BIDEN
3. then the president is acting in the country's best interest to have this person investigated
4. and acting in the country's best interest is not something we would call "an impeachable offense"

Trump was acting in the interest of finding dirt on his main rival for the Presidency. End of story.

He had no abstract or idealistic feelings pertaining to “rooting out corruption” or whatever. For anybody who believes this, I have the Brooklyn Bridge to sell you.

He had a concrete objective that had nothing to do with anything ethical or moral.

He said,his belief that him getting elected was in the countries best interest,justified the investigation of Biden,then engaging in the quid pro quo was in America's best interest if it led to Trump's reelection,because Trump believed his reelection was in the countries best interest.

Maybe, but there are more than one place that is called Brooklyn within the US and one of them may also have a bridge that could be for sale. At one time (1861), there was a town called Brooklyn in Kansas, but sadly it no longer exists. It would be funny if someone built a bridge there to remember it by. That way the landowner could actually sell you a “Brooklyn Bridge” in Kansas and not be pulling your leg.

I believe there is a Brooklyn Heights in Minnesota as well. A Minneapolis suburb.

There is a Brooklyn Bridge Road on I-95 in Maryland. About 35 miles from DC.
