Breitbart:
Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz is suing CNN for $300 million for misreporting the substance of his defense of President Donald Trump in the Senate impeachment trial earlier this year.
Dershowitz, who filed suit Wednesday in a federal court in Florida, alleges that CNN and its various commentators “doctored the tape” of his comments on the Senate floor in January to portray him as a kind of “Adolf Hitler” who believed that a president can break the law at will.
At the time, Breitbart News noted that CNN and several Democrats had misquoted Dershowitz’s comment:
Here is what Dershowitz actually said.
He began by noting that some forms of a “quid pro quo” were unlawful and impeachable: “The only thing that would make the quid pro quo unlawful would be if the quo were in some way illegal.”
He then explained: “If a president does something which he believe will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.”
Torn.
Don’t like him but hate CNN.
Will root for Alan, half heartedly.
the enemy of CNN is my friend.
When he hits CNN for major Bucks, he will not be their friend;
In this case, I doubt he will prevail.
Maybe, but not likely IMO.
How many multi-million dollar lawsuits can CNN absorb before they change their behavior? Truth be known, it’s not CNN that will be paying the settlement. There are deeper, privately held organizations operating in the shadows that are calling the shots and funding the “fake news” psy-operations. But even they MAY have a breaking point. Or not. There is a LOT more yet to unfold. Buckle your seat belts, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
CNN soon to be Cashless News Non-network.
Dershowitz was also an ally of Jeffrey Epstein. Hard to know whether to support him or not.
Left Coast Dan- just support the fact he’s suing CNN. lol
Liberals eating eat other. I think that Alan overall does defend the rule of law. And that he was actually shocked as to the extent that the professional left and their media allies are willing to go to get rid of Trump including throwing a long time loyal “upper party” leftist like himself under several buses. He can no longer kid himself into thinking that the left represents any form of truth and freedom of thought. Poor guy only had libstain friends and now probably not many of those. Schadenfreude!!
