I'm inclined to agree. You can't just give the government unlimited funds to go after someone. They will spend and spend and spend hoping to get anything.

"The controversy over the selective editing of a voicemail message from President Trump’s former attorney in the report by Robert Mueller has added fuel to the arguments against the appointment of special counsels....

Dowd has accused Mueller of seeking to “smear and damage the reputation of counsel and innocent people.” He stated that the special counsel “never raised or questioned the president’s counsel about these allegations despite numerous opportunities to do so.” Dowd, a highly respected and veteran D.C. lawyer, is rightly upset. When read in full, the transcript shows that he is not trying to obstruct the probe. To the contrary, he is respectful of resigned national security adviser Flynn’s decision to withdraw from the joint defense agreement and does not expect Flynn’s attorney, Kelner, to disclose confidential information. Furthermore, he is not only worried about what Flynn’s cooperation means for his client, the president, but also for the country.

Dowd’s request was not only entirely proper for a president’s counsel to make, but obligatory for any defense attorney properly seeking information necessary to his defense. By editing the transcript to fit their narrative, the Mueller team distorted the facts. [/align].."

So, has the left not turned on Dershowitz yet? It appears he's about the only sane liberal left in the country so it's time for them to destroy him.

Good find. Thanks for sharing.

The Republicans went after Andrew Johnson without a special counsel because he was against the Republican law that was created for carpet beggars after the Civil War that would have left the southern states poor. Before the war, the southern states were wealthy and the north was jealous. Now, look at the states now since Johnson could foresee in the future the problems it created, and he was Impeached. Johnson is vilified by African Americans today because he was against that law. Johnson was a conservative Democrat at the time. Lincoln was a Liberal Republican.

Did the smoking man tell you this Fox?

I wouldn't say no special counsel. But I would put some limits on it. Your scope is X. You have $Y to spend on it. You will provide quarterly progress reports, and each quarter's operations will be approved before proceeding. Any modifications to X or $Y must be approved in advance. No fishing expeditions.

wait--you mean ACCOUNTABILITY? from a Congressional action? What have you been smoking?

edit: btw--what you suggested makes sense, so it'll never happen.

Congress--"no one should be above the law--except us."

Actually they have for him defending Trumps rights, Netanyahu and Israel. I guess he has been a bad liberal.
The Dersh pulled into the Me Too movement.

I can't disagree with Dershowitz. His insight is about as good as it gets in regard to the law. Im fine with ending this mess.

At any rate, this will probably be RM's last SC investigation.
