‘She Sounds Like Stalin:’ Alan Dershowitz Ends Nancy Pelosi After She Called For Trump’s Imprisonment

Alan Dershowitz blasted Nancy Pelosi and effectively ended her reign of terror. Recently, Pelosi went too far and took the extraordinary step of calling for President Trump’s imprisonment.

The Washington Examiner reported that Alan Dershowitz criticized Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi after she stated that she wants to see Donald Trump in prison.

“As a liberal Democrat, I am appalled at Nancy Pelosi,” Alan Dershowitz, a civil liberties advocate and former Harvard law professor, stated on Thursday for Fox News.

“The idea of her weaponizing the criminal justice system and calling for the imprisonment of the President of the United States without him being charged with any crime, without him being charged with any impeachable offense. It’s just outrageous.” He added.

“It sounds like the conversation between Stalin and Beria where Beria said to Stalin, ‘Show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime,’” Dershowitz claimed.

“The idea of the most important Democrat in the United States calling for imprisonment of a president is such core violation of civil liberties, the rule of law, and America justice. She ought to be absolutely ashamed of herself,” he said.

Dershowitz’s remarks follow the California Democrat reportedly clamming that she wanted President Trump to be put in prison during a meeting of top Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday.

“I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,” Nancy Pelosi said. She has maintained she would rather see President Trump defeated at the ballot box.

On Thursday, the President responded to her comments by giving her the nickname “Nervous Nancy.”

“I think she is a disgrace,” President Trump said. “I actually don’t think she’s a talented person. I’ve tried to be nice to her because I would have liked to have gotten some deals done. She’s incapable of doing deals. She’s a nasty, vindictive, horrible person.”

Alan Dershowitz Claims Mueller’s Critics Were Right – He Just Proved He Is Biased Against President Trump

Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz spoke in an op-ed for The Hill and claimed that he can no longer defend Robert Mueller as non-partisan after his controversial final statement as special counsel on Wednesday.

Dershowitz, who leans left but has frequently found himself arguing against President Donald Trump’s critics, wrote: “Until today, I have defended Mueller against the accusations that he is a partisan.”

“I did not believe that he personally favored either the Democrats or the Republicans, or had a point of view on whether President Trump should be impeached. But I have now changed my mind. By putting his thumb, indeed his elbow, on the scale of justice in favor of impeachment based on obstruction of justice, Mueller has revealed his partisan bias. He also has distorted the critical role of a prosecutor in our justice system.” He continued.

The Harvard Law professor, whose new book makes the case against the Dems moving forward with impeachment plans against the President, begins by quoting the most eyebrow-raising of Mueller’s remarks from Wednesday: “If we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that.”

That statement, as Dershowtiz wrote, is “worse” than the infamous statement by then-FBI Director James Comey regarding Hillary Clinton’s private email server in 2016, in which he said, “although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”

During that moment, James Comey went “beyond his responsibility to state whether there was sufficient evidence to indict Clinton,” says Professor Dershowitz.

But what Robert Mueller did, was actually more egregious, Alan Dershowitz claims. “He went beyond the conclusion of his report and gave a political gift to Democrats in Congress who are seeking to institute impeachment proceedings against President Trump,” he writes. “By implying that President Trump might have committed obstruction of justice, Mueller effectively invited Democrats to institute impeachment proceedings.”

Dershowitz underscores that what Robert Mueller did was something that “virtually everybody” can agree it is out of bounds: suggesting that the subject might be guilty despite insufficient evidence to make the case. Anyone who tries to argue that somehow Robert Mueller and the investigation is a “special case,” he stresses, is simply “wrong.”

He concludes that the only logical explanation for Robert Mueller’s actions is that he was deliberately attempting to “help the Dems in Congress and to encourage impeachment talk and action.”

VIDEO: Dershowitz Blasts The Media With An ‘F’ On Mueller’s Report Coverage

Despite his Democratic Party affiliation and liberal leanings, Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz has persistently defended President Donald Trump throughout the Mueller investigation, and now that the report has been released, he has given the media the grade of “F” for their terribly biased media coverage.

Dershowitz spoke on “Fox News” on Sunday and said that the media’s reporting of the Mueller report has been so biased that CNN will not allow him on the network to give his expert legal analysis.

“CNN, which used to have me on all the time, on Anderson Cooper, on Cuomo, on Lemon, as an analyst, as a centrist analyst, they decided no, no, it is okay to have extreme Trump supporters, because people just use them as a stick figure exhibits,” Dershowitz said. “What they didn’t want was a centrist liberal that went against their narrative.”

Later on, he claimed that he asked Zucker why he had suddenly been blackballed from the network. “I asked [Zucker] how come I am not on anymore, and he said, oh, no, no, no, you will be on, but since the summer I’ve never been on a single time,” Dershowitz said. “I have been on all of the other networks repeatedly. But clearly, they made a decision. They did not want my kind of analysis.”

The veteran Harvard Law School professor stated that the media earned an “F” grade for their coverage these past two years, which would not be alleviated even if the grade were subject to inflation.

“Even with grade inflation, I just think the media comes off awful, terrible, for the most part,” Dershowitz said. “I think we are seeing an elimination of the distinction between the editorial page and the news pages in some of the leading media in the country, and that’s a shame. Walter Cronkite could not get a job in the media today.”

Dershowitz also had trouble dealing with the fact that CNN chose Michael Avenatti’s legal opinion over his own throughout the Mueller probe, the same Avenatti who’s been hit with a 36-count indictment alleging that he stole millions from his clients and cheated on his taxes.

“They had a choice of a Harvard Law professor for 50 years who has been getting it right, a centrist liberal and who has credibility, or Michael Avenatti,” Dershowitz said. “And they picked Michael Avenatti. He became their go-to guy. Every one of his predictions turned out to be false.”

As for the actual Mueller report, professor Dershowitz said that the special counsel got the law “completely wrong on obstruction of justice.”

“[I]n my introduction, I show how Mueller got the law completely wrong on obstruction of justice,” he said. “And I lay out what the law on obstruction is. And you cannot be charged with obstruction if you’re the president and you simply exercise your constitutional authority to fire Comey or anyone else. I lay that out carefully.”

“And the best precedent for that is George H.W. Bush, who pardoned Casper Weinberger and five other people on the eve of the trial,” Dershowitz continued. “The special prosecutor said he obstructed justice, but he couldn’t be charged with it. And they never mentioned the Bush case in the Mueller report. Mueller was in the Bush administration. Barr was in the Bush administration. And they deliberately omit as the leading precedent, which would preclude a president from being charged with obstruction for simply exercising his constitutional authority.”
