Impeachment: Trump lawyer is one for the ages

Alan Dershowitz is 81 years old, but instead of sitting in his den drinking chamomile tea and thinking about Suzy from high school, he’s thinking if he was born in a different time who he could have defended as a lawyer.

1) Judas.

2) Pontius Pilate.

3) Sacco and Vanzetti.

4) Hitler.

5) Stalin.

6) Hermann Göring at Nuremberg.

Truthfully, can you blame Dershowitz for joining President Trump’s impeachment defense? What would you rather hear: Your wife telling you to take out the trash, or all the news organizations pleading for new gems of enlightenment from your big brain?
