Dean's tweet comes just after Dershowitz's arguments on Wednesday in the Senate's impeachment trial for Trump. Over the course of the trial, Dershowitz and others on the president's legal team have argued that the charges against Trump, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, are not crimes that constitute his removal from office.
"Every public official that I know believes that his election is in the public interest," Dershowitz said on Wednesday."And mostly you're right. Your election is in the public interest. And if a president did something that he believes will help him get elected, in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment."
"If a hypothetical president of the United States said to a hypothetical leader of a foreign country, unless you build a hotel with my name on it and unless you give me a million-dollar kickback, I will withhold the funds. That's an easy case, that's purely corrupt and purely private interest," Dershowitz said.
While appearing on CNN Thursday, Dean expanded on why he believes Dershowitz's arguments"unimpeached" Nixon.
Davidlaz Unlike Trump, Nixon was not impeached.
No he didn’t. Dershowitz is a traitor.
Good.
He’s correct
Hmmm...not exactly. Sheesh
he damn near decriminalized the criminal codes. his argument is tantamount to institutionalization of jury nullification. every criminal defense can cite this impeachment.
john dean did much more wrong during the watergate scandal than nixon did.
Nixon wasn’t impeached.
Wrong statement Prof Dershowitz told Democrats That what they tried hide it no crime
ABSOLUTELY!!! HE IS A FOOL
Nixon was never impeached Trump was.
