The Dershowitz Strategy

Now I understand Alan Dershowitz and we owe him an apology. He figured out that the only way to end the Trump Era and restore sanity to our government was to pose as an ally, become the prized guru of the Right and, as a principal defender of Mr. Trump, make absurdist arguments to excuse the president's corruption and abuse of power. Then, when Republicans inevitably acquit Mr. Trump, they will be exposed as spineless, mindless sycophants who put retention of power above protection of country, by signing on to Mr. Dershowitz' patently preposterous pronouncements. 

In this way, Mr. Dershowitz will have demonstrated to the American people and the rest of the world the true nature of today's Republican party and the danger it poses to constitutional standards and basic morality. Thanks to this ingenious stratagem, Mr. Trump and his senatorial loyalists will be swept from power in the next election and Mr. Dershowitz will have saved our democracy from the brink of destruction.
