Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away, I had some respect for Alan Dershowitz. Alas, he long ago joined a list of sorta-right-wingers that have since left me wondering if I was wrong about them back then…a list that includes Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee and John McCain. I'd like to think I wasn't wrong; that they merely veered into Crazyland because they saw opportunities therein.
Anyway, in the limited time I allow myself these days to look at recent political-type matters, I read Professor Dershowitz's piece for The Wall Street Journal about how Donald Trump is being treated in the most prominent of the current investigations. You may need a subscription there to read the whole piece but I can't help that.
It is however an amazing piece of trying to gin up a scandal where there isn't one. In his rebuttal article, Joe Patrice explains to the Professor of Law that different alleged crimes that might violate different laws at different times and had different levels of cooperation from the targets of those investigations might just not be comparable.
