and Robert Mueller.
Good for Painter -- he wouldn't back down on making the point that D wasn't being truthful about Bob Mueller. (D was referring to a specific rightwing fake news story about Mueller.)
Note: Painter is the (former) Republican. Dersh is the (so-called) Democrat. Who do you like better?

I know both @AlanDersh and Richard Painter. Alan was totally out of line in attacking @RWPUSA on MSNBC as unAmerican. His denunciation of Mueller shocked me. Sorry to have to say it, but this unhinged assault on Painter leaves me aghast.

Dersh has been pals with Kushner ever since Kushner was at Harvard and Dersh was faculty advisor to a small Jewish org that Kushner was president of.

(5,281 posts)Dershowitz is a sleazy liar who will say anything to promote his view.
Painter is a good man that I have some basic differences with on what is best for the country, but I do not doubt his sincerity, honesty, or ethics (All things Dershowitz apparently do not have).

"You have no right to go on national television and say things that are false about Robert Mueller, Painter continued. Its not about you.
You say I know nothing about Israel, Dershowitz replied. You condemned me for that.
This has nothing to do with Israel, Painter shot back. You lied about Robert Mueller. This has nothing to do with Israel. This has to do with youre assaulting the reputation of Robert Mueller, a good American.
