What is the crime? Where is the statute? The only thing they could get him on is a perjury charge of some sort if he failed to disclose during an official interview.

They’d Mickey mouse the books and make up something.

Not to mention the Skolvoko deal. Russian oligarchs paid big money to the Clinton foundation, and paid Bill Clinton handsomely for a speech. Then, Hillary helped Russia develop a technology park (some call it the “Russian Silicon Valley”). Then she invited dozens of American technology companies - all or nearly all of whom were also donors to the Clinton foundation - to set up divisions in Skolvoko and transfer technology and know-how into a suburb of Moscow. Not long after, the FBI declared Skolvoko to be a vast Russian international espionage scheme in which American technology was stolen - industrial espionage.

Now, if Clinton were just the Secretary of State and fumbled her way into that mess, then perhaps the most we could say is that she is gullible and unfit for high office. But, because both sides of the deals have their nexus through the Clinton foundation, it raises suspicions that much higher. The inability and unwillingness to ‘follow the money’ by the media and law enforcement is astounding. The mere existence of such a scheme where a sitting Sec of State solicited and collected billions of dollars from autocrats, thugs, dictators, and industrialists is not only unprecedented, it is at best horribly unseemly. There used to be a time when leaders avoided the appearance of impropriety. But for some reason (and that reason is probably very scary) in this case it was not only ignored it was glorified as an international good.

And if there was any doubt about the sincerity, if the foundation truly were a wonderful worthwhile charity delivering supplies to the needy and destitute, then money would continue to flow in its direction regardless of who was running it. And yet, as soon as Hillary lost the election donations dried up and they essentially closed up shop. Of course people arranged these large donations because of a quid pro quo. They expected access, they expected favors, they expected to get rewarded on the back-end. And as long as Hillary was the SoS, and the presumptive Democrat nominee for President, and the expected successor to Obama, the money rolled in. The day that ambition died marks the day when donations ceased to materialize.

It is possible that the special prosecutor will end up investigating some of these kinds of dealings. He may not want to, and it may not be the reason for his appointment, but the witnesses could very easily force the issue open and lead him down such a road.

He’s right. Amazing that he can explain the hypocrisy of the left so well and understand the intricacies of policy and law, while still being so hedonistic he can’t keep his weiner out of a 16 year old girl. Maybe all the respect flowing his way for this opinion would be dampened if it was their daughter.

I know but liberals dreamed that up and stayed with it.

Dershowitz is right. Russia is the BIG LIE and it is infecting the stupid side.

Are you asking for evidence that it didn’t happen? Think about that for a minute.

We went through this crap in the 80s. It didn’t happen.

I am happy that Dershowitz opines that there is no crime in dealing with a foreign government, but he did it in a way that tries to rewrite history and repeat an old lie, and I want to make sure that people don’t just accept that part of it.

Yes, old liberal lies eventually become conventional wisdom. Pretty soon, we’ll read in the history books about GW Bush’s SR-71 flight.
