My tweet right after - Holy crap. Dershowitz just admitted Trump did a quid pro quo for personal gain and excused it by saying Trumps thought was "If I win, that's best for the country" therefore its justified because he was doing it for the good of the country.

And even THAT is a lie

Ergo, politicians can commit crimes willy-nilly, provided they are in pursuit of getting elected? Am I reading that right?

You got it. That’s not scary one bit.

They have reached the deepest hole in ethics: "The ends justify the means". Therefore no law governing the means needs to be observed. It is equivalent to declaring that we are now under nob* rule. * not a typohttps://mobile.twitter.com/ddale8/status/1222602797344022528 …

I’ll proffer another, similar maxim which also summarizes the GOP’s position & authoritarian ethics: MIGHT MAKES RIGHT.

They are literally claiming that the right of an informed electorate to make the prudent choice is *trumped* by the candidate's right to do anything, incl. cheat, and decide what's in the nation's interest for them. That is the definition of an oligarchy.https://mobile.twitter.com/ddale8/status/1222602797344022528 …

And to suspend (or invalidate) future elections because Trump *believes he IS* the nation's public interest! What about when Trump pushes his GOP & SCOTUS puppets to pass laws giving him unlimited power & right to assign a successor (dynasty rule) as public's best interest?
