Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What does this look like in context? Not charging him for crimes? Not covering this extremely newsworthy event?
Show your work here, because none of the actual lawyers I've seen weigh in on this have come to that conclusion.
Shouldn't you be counting all your money instead of spending so much time strangely defending Trump online?
No he didn't.
He saying that's their approach. Ultimately might come down to the Supreme Court which hasn't favored Trump and similar cases so far.
That's not what Dershowitz said.
I just showed you what he said in the articles you provided.
Again. He didn't say that. You are incorrect.
I didn't say anything otherwise.
This is what he said correct?
This what you said, correct?
And why does that? His reasoning he states in the articles?
It is an error on you.
He didn't just say Trump would win on appeal or "He believes there will be convictions but overturned in appeals." He predicting the approach of the prosecutors and said more than this.
You are being dishonest.
This guy? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/17/us/politics/alan-dershowitz-trump.html
Did you happen to read that article?
Did you even look at the link? It's not one you cited.
No, hold up a second. I need to understand why you lied.
It's not rambling to point out you lied. Maybe you should go back and open that link I provided that you definitely haven't opened yet.
