I pointed out how open ended that argument is because politicians honestly believe that their reelection helps the national interest. (MTC) — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone watching my answer would know that it was in response to the manager’s claim that any electoral benefit would constitute an impeachable quid pro quo. (MTC) — PolitiTweet.org

I gave as an example mixed motive President Lindon’s decision to send troops home from the battlefield to Indiana so that they would vote for his party. He genuinely believed that his party’s victory in Indiana was essential to the war effort, but it also helped him politically. — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Dershowitz @AlanDersh
They characterized my argument as if I had said that if a president believes that his re-election was in the national interest, he can do anything. I said nothing like that, as anyone who actually heard what I said can attest. — PolitiTweet.org

Taking advantage of the fact most of their viewers didn’t actually hear the senate Q and A, CNN, MSNBC and some other media willfully distorted my answers. More to Come — PolitiTweet.org

(3 OF 3) If Warren knew anything about criminal law she would understand the distinction between motives – which are not elements of crime—and intent, which is. It’s the responsibility of presidential candidates to have a better understanding of the law. — PolitiTweet.org
Alan Dershowitz @AlanDersh
She also willfully mischaracterized what I said, claiming that I spoke about “intent.” I challenge her to find that word anywhere in my presentation. I talked about the difficulty of discerning mixed motives. (2 of 3 — PolitiTweet.org
Alan Dershowitz @AlanDersh
Warren doesn’t understand the law. My former colleague, Senator Warren, claims she could not follow my carefully laid out presentation that everybody else seemed to understand. This says more about Warren than it does about me. (1 of 2) — PolitiTweet.org

(3 of 3 cont) To the extent therefore that my 1998 off-the-cuff interview statement suggested the opposite, I retract it. Scholars learn to adapt and even change old views as they do more research. — PolitiTweet.org
Alan Dershowitz @AlanDersh
(3 of 3)So I have now thoroughly researched the issue and concluded that although a technical crime with all the elements may not be required, criminal like behavior akin to treason and bribery is required. — PolitiTweet.org
Alan Dershowitz @AlanDersh
(2of 3 Therefore, I didn’t research the issue; I relied on the academic consensus that a crime was not required. In Trump impeachment, on the other hand, that is the critical issue, because abuse of power and obstruction of congress are neither crimes nor criminal- like behavior. — PolitiTweet.org
Alan Dershowitz @AlanDersh
(1 of 3)To the extent there are inconsistencies between my current position and what I said 22 years ago, I am correct today. During the Clinton impeachment, the issue was not whether a technical crime was required, because he was charged with perjury. — PolitiTweet.org

Tribe’s call to consider impeaching President Reagan demonstrates how promiscuously he and others deploy the vague term “abuse of power” against political opponents, and why it is not a constitutionally permissible criteria for impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org
Alan Dershowitz @AlanDersh
In 1987, Larry Tribe suggested the impeachment of President Ronald Reagan for his alleged role in the Iran-Contra matter: Therein lies what appears to be the most serious breach of duty by the president – a breach that may well entail an impeachable abuse of power …” — PolitiTweet.org
