Of course they did. They weren’t willing to risk their careers for Trump. They are cowards.

Richard Epstein was another voice (more of a libertarian), and I think Turley, but they were few and far between.


Dershowitz was pretty vocal too. But again, only a handful.

Left-leaning legal "experts" were perfectly fine with abuses of the legal system so long as Trump was the target.


I think that was his point even if he wasn’t willing to say it explicitly.

Hey idiots...and you know who you are. Those make-believe "felonies" only complicate your TDS. The "felonies" are are akin to calling your wonderful President a "king".

Why do you torture yourselves?

Idiots.

Megyn Kelly, who’s a good friend of McCarthy, called him out on this. She says he has a case of TDS that he can’t get past.

You assume that everyone that didn’t make public comments disagreed with the prosecutions. Not a good assumption.

The dumb ones weighed in on it quite a bit, though. It was totally legit according to them. No "political theatre" whatsoever.

Does he have to name names to satisfy YOU that he knows what he's talking about?

He's asking them in an indirect way to show the integrity to do what's right and in the future to have the strength to resist the blowback from their leftist colleagues.
