Elizabeth Warren: I Couldn’t Follow Alan Dershowitz’s ‘Nonsensical’ Argument
« on: January 28, 2020, 02:59:37 pm »
Joshua Caplan 28 Jan 2020

Presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Monday took a shot at Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz over his legal arguments against the impeachment of President Donald Trump, branding his remarks as “nonsensical.”

“His characterization of the law simply is unsupported. He is a criminal law professor who stood in the well of the Senate and talked about how law never inquires into intent and that we should not be using the president’s intent as part of understanding impeachment,” said Warren, a former Harvard Law School professor, according to The Hill.

“Criminal law is all about intent. Mens rea is the heart of criminal law. That’s the very basis of it. So it makes his whole presentation just nonsensical. I truly could not follow it,” she added.

Earlier Monday, Dershowitz broke down why the two articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — fall “outside the range of impeachable offenses.”

He argued that impeachment required “criminal-like conduct akin to treason and bribery.”

If this case is defined by Trump's intent then we must hear from the Bidens, Schiff and the 'Whistleblower'.

If Trump's intent was to gain political advantage, then the Bidens will be completely innocent. If they were indeed involved in nepotism and trading on daddy's position as VP, his intent will have been righteous, he was set up by the rats and he should be acquitted.

I will assure you that many of the lawyers in that room with her had never heard any of the stuff Professor Dershowitz spelled out for them previously.  Law schools these days don't teach the Constitution only case law.

Injun Liz didn't understand what he said because she's not smart enough.  Obviously she's not smart enough to be president.

Okay,  Liz, so intent's the issue.   Trump's supposedly corrupt motivation for temporarily seeking to delay aid to encourage Ukrainian investigation into corruption at Burisma,  even though the aid was ultimately released, on time, without preconditions.

Is that your big thing?    Then let Hunter Biden testify!

All she really said was that he spoke far above her legal intellect and she can't refute what he said. Unsurprisingly.

True.  I am not a lawyer and didn't even go to college.  I understood it.
