‘I don’t know that there’s going to be any remedy. Maybe we should try to create one’

A noted expert and scholar on the U.S. Constitution is confirming President Donald Trump would have grounds for seeking the expungement of his 2019 impeachment should he choose to do so.

The comments come from constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz who told Just the News in an interview that, “It’s never been done. I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t be done.”

He cited “bombshell new evidence revealed the intelligence community failed to disclose that his main accuser had the potential for bias, made a false statement and only had hearsay to back up his allegations,” the report charged.

He told the Just the News, No Noise television program, “Impeachment is a quasi-judicial procedure, whether you have to go back to Congress and ask them to expunge it or go to the courts. But I have to tell you one thing, history will expunge it already based on your work, because what you’ve done is you’ve created so much doubt about the credibility of the main accuser that it’s hard for anybody to sit back now and say that was a just, a just impeachment, but I don’t know that there’s going to be any remedy. Maybe we should try to create one.”

Dershowitz, a Democrat, defended Trump at the time and the president was acquitted of Democrat charges that wildly alleged he was using Ukraine to investigate political critics.

The lawyer said the president could go to Chief Justice John Roberts, who presided over the case, or Congress, and ask for the reversal “because the defense team was denied the right to confront his accusers with exculpatory evidence,” the report said.

Ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was part of orchestrating the political allegations against Trump, at the time had gloated that, “He’s been impeached forever. They can never erase that.”

Impeachment, of course, is just the assembling of charges in the House of Representatives. In the Senate, where the trial was held, Trump was acquitted.

Trump responded to Pelosi’s claim at the time by described the political scheme as just “another Con Job by the Do Nothing Democrats.”

Responding to Dershowitz’s new comments, Trump said, “Alan, one of the greats, should do it!”

Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor emeritus, responded after Just the News reported a U.S. intelligence watchdog developed “derogatory evidence” about the CIA analyst who prompted the 2019 Ukraine-focused impeachment.

Those details, destructive to the case against Trump, included that he “submitted false information in his whistleblower complaint, offered hearsay to support his allegations and had the ‘potential for bias,'” the report noted.

Those details are confirmed in evidence newly declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

The accuser, in fact, admitted he was a “registered Democrat” who worked closely with Joe Biden on Ukraine issues, and who disliked the conservative figures in Trump’s orbit.

“The investigators also elicited an apology from the Trump accuser for misleading the probe and were acutely aware his allegations were based solely on second- and third-hand accounts about what Trump was alleged to have said and done,” the report confirmed.

The alleged whistleblower, whose agenda included claiming Trump tried to pressure Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the Bidens, and that was improper, confirmed, “I do not have direct knowledge of private comments or communications by the President.”

Significantly, that evidence was not “in the nine-page letter then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., released” in his agenda to stir up trouble for Trump.

The FBI now is reviewing the evidence, the report confirmed, which “mirrors tactics similar to the now discredited Russia collusion probe against Trump that began in 2016.”

“The declassified impeachment memos show the so-called whistleblower behind the 2019 impeachment singled out Director Patel by name, relied on hearsay, submitted false claims, and had documented political bias — all of which was hidden from the American people,” charged Ben Williamson, an FBI spokesman.

And DNI Tulsi Gabbard said it appears former Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson “weaponized” the whistleblower process and “manufactured a conspiracy” by pushing the claims to Congress despite “serious concerns” they were lies.

CIA chief John Ratcliffe’s office released a statement that the evidence confirms Trump was denied a fair proceeding by Democrats orchestrating the clams.

The report said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, in the House during the “impeachment,” said, “Just like the RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA collusion hoax, the clown show sham impeachment of President Trump in 2019 was a bulls— show trial of epic proportion to try to take out the duly elected President of the United States.”

Dershowitz said, “These government officials will probably have to pay a political price, if not a legal price, for violating the Constitution, because that’s what they’ve done. They violated the Constitution.”
