That dude is a serious buffoon, all you gotta do is look at him to see it.
His entire career is based on Trump. There's no way he doesn't attempt to do something to muck things up whether it is before the report is filed or refusing to release it publicly once it is.

Good DOG you are stupid if you think I am Hardloper (or Lying Gary or any of the other Trumpettes on here).

Does that mean impeachable?
How about convictable?
A sitting president cannot be indicted.
Dems don't have enough Senators to remove the president.
Presidential harassment didn't work well for the GOP in 1990s.

Hey, it's Lying Gary! No need to be hiding behind "M.A.G.A.", Lying Gary. We're all friends here. ;-)

We're not Trump nor Whitaker and neither seem particularly clear thinking on this issue.

Fair points

I've read the same basic outline of the story from Dershowitz elsewhere and got the impression he feels it will not be criminal or impeachable.
Then why would Dershowitz use the word "devastating"?
Those outcomes don't seem devastating.

Russian Navy is now openly attacking Ukranian vessels. How long before Russian troops are marching on Kiev?
Thankfully we have a strong president who can stand up to the Russians!

??? Your president is Ukranian. Have you officially moved there yet, or is that still your fantasy?
Question for everyone who believes in the President. What will we do if Mueller and the Democrats get him on the ropes? Do we take to the streets? We have the guns. What are you willing to do? I am genuine,y looking for ideas.

It doesn't appear that Dershowitz defines devastating but here is what he said:
Dershowitz said despite his expectation for a "politically very devastating report," he doesn't think criminal charges will be brought forward.
"When I say devastating, I mean it's going to paint a picture that's going to be politically very devastating," he said. "I still don't think it's going to make a criminal case, because collusion is not criminal."
He felt the report would be released to the public with a Republican response included after it first gets to Whitaker. The response is already being written.

I think Dershowitz is going under the deluded view that the Republican Party would back away from Trump is Mueller shows how he obstructed justice, cheated on his taxes, laundered mone, conspired against America and broke election funding laws.
Silly Alan. Republicans will never care about Trump's lawbreaking. Never.
No 'devastating' will happen.
For something to be politically devastating implies there will be ramifications or some kind of consequences.
This looks like simply bad news but no changes.

The Republicans will begin to care if they think it will cost them significantly in the 2020 election although I agree with your premise.
Dershowitz has said that he believes Mueller will simply issue a report of his findings with no recommendations and let the politicians deal with it. This is similar to a viewpoint I've long held. It will become a political football. I'm just interest in the level the report goes to...particularly any of Trump's financial information. I'm not sure that portion of the report is made publice, particularly initially, if Whitaker remains AG through the period the report is submitted by Mueller.
Those looking for definitive conclusions, I think, will be disappointed.
