 How Trump Can Get Out of His Jam

By calling for an independent commission, the president has the chance to prove his innocence—and his commitment to the truth.

By Alan M. Dershowitz

May 18, 2017


Donald Trump hardly welcomed the appointment of a special prosecutor to look into the relationship between his presidential campaign and Russia—in fact, he called it a “witch hunt” on Thursday morning—but if I were he, I’d go big: Embrace the American people’s hunger for the whole truth about what happened during the campaign and the first months of the administration—and who leaked what about whom—and call for an independent commission. If he truly believes he did nothing wrong, as he said in Wednesday’s statement, it’s the best way to prove it once and for all.

Why a commission? Because Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s appointment of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel will not solve the problem at hand. His mandate is quite limited. According to the memorandum released by Rosenstein, Mueller will be authorized to “prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters” which includes “any matters that arose or may arise from the investigation.” But even if there were coordination between the Trump campaign/administration and the Russians, it is unlikely that any federal crimes were committed. Nor would there be anything criminal about the president unwisely disclosing information to the Russians that might allow them to discover intelligence sources and methods. He has the authority to declassify whatever he wants, even if it’s a bad idea.

That's some sound advice from Derschowitz.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

It's a witch hunt.  Independent counsel has been assigned.  Time for Trump to keep quiet, move on and proceed with running the country.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

It's not a witch hunt...not even close.

What Dershowitz is saying that Trump needs to do is actually good advice.

Appoint a nonpartisan investigatory commission composed of objective experts and highly regarded truth seekers.


Like who?  The Challenger disaster was indeed a nonpartisan event.  So was 9/11.  This is not.  It would be impossible to find a nonpartisan panel.

Of course it is a witch hunt.  Only someone desirous of the failure of this Administration would claim otherwise.

So Trump initiated a "witch hunt" against himself?

You do realize this was done by his own Administration don't you?

Dershowitz walking a fine line as his FBI file has some very interesting details about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
