You know, if a candidate can commit election fraud and campaign fund violations, get caught by having his right hand fixer turn on him, but gets elected and is then immune from prosecution.... why is there any reason for him not to do it again? No consequences (the story of trump's life) certainly won't deter the trump crime family.
and that is ignoring the minor item of treason by asking a foreign power to help him get elected... (he begged publicly for russia to hack emails of hillary) This fucker should be shot at dawn.
Dershowitz: Trump payouts were result of ‘textbook extortion.’ Ignorance of the left on this is astounding.

Porn stars Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal give gold diggers a bad name. Because not only do they extort money from their meal tickets, they renege on their promises of confidentiality in thirsty attempts to shake down their targets for more money.
Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz — an internationally recognized Constitutional Law scholar — dismissed the media’s inane claims that it’s a campaign finance violation for Donald Trump to pay hush money to his former mistresses.
Dershowitz even suggested that Stormy Daniels should be prosecuted for her extortion schemes over the alleged one-night stand she had with Trump in 2006 — a decade before he became president.
“It is absolutely textbook extortion,” Dershowitz told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “There ought to be a prosecution of any person — man or woman — who approaches any candidate or anybody else and says, ‘Unless you pay me money, I’m going to reveal a sex act that occurred.’ That is absolute classic extortion.”
Dershowitz — a lifelong liberal who wrote the bestseller “The Case Against Impeaching Trump” — continued:
“It is shocking that the Special Counsel — who has a broad mandate — isn’t looking into the extortion committed by the porn star [Stormy Daniels], whose lawyer obviously approached the candidate and threatened exposure.
Just listen to the tape. The tape [that Michael Cohen made] makes that clear. It is clear that they were paying off extortion in order to prevent these issues from coming out for multiple reasons: to protect his family, to protect his brand…and the campaign.
Let’s remember one more thing: The president can contribute to a candidate as much as he wants.”
Dershowitz explained: “If [Michael] Bloomberg runs for president, he could announce tomorrow, ‘I’m not taking a nickel. I’m putting $1 billion of my own money into this campaign.’ That is perfectly legitimate.”
“As far as reporting is concerned, it is the campaign that has to report [these contributions].
So if [Trump’s] payments [to his one-night stands] had to be reported, they had to be reported after the election. The reporting time was after the election — so it could not have impacted the election.
So the absurd notion that he won the presidency by fraud and should be stripped of the presidency reflects incredible ignorance about the timing here and how these statutes operate.”

He is a scholar of United States constitutional law and criminal law,[1][2] and a noted civil libertarian.[1][3] He spent most of his career at Harvard Law School where in 1967, at the age of 28, he became the youngest full professor of law in its history. He held the Felix Frankfurter professorship there from 1993[4] until his retirement in December 2013.[5] He has since become a regular CNN and Fox News contributor and political and legal analyst.
