Which crimes can Trump realistically be charged with and what is a realistic defense?

Alan Dershowitz, author of "The Case Against Impeaching Trump" makes feeble arguments as to why President Donald J. Trump should not be prosecuted against in a court of law. Dershowitz states that if Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 presidential election, Republicans would be doing exactly what democrats are currently doing to president Trump. So what? If Clinton's emails were indeed criminal, then she should be punished to the full extent of the law, even if she had become president.

Dershowitz shyed away from all the sexual harassment and rape charges against Trump, and the most disturbing one, when Trump raped a 13-year-old girl in 1994 at a party thrown by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Trump just threw a bunch of money at the 1994 rape charge, and even threatened to have the girls family killed if she testified; allegedly! Dershowitz never mentioned this, how convenient. The accuser says Trump raped her repeatedly at parties thrown by since convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. "

"Terrific guy, he’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it, Jeffrey enjoys his social life,” Trump said.  https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-rape-case_us_581a31a5e4b0c43e6c1d9834

Dershowitz claims any U.S. president could always be accused with some sort of crime and put on trail for it, thus, according to him, it should never be done. John Adams presided over an administration that imprisoned political opponents under the alien and sedition acts, while president Thomas Jefferson went after his political opponents for treason. These are some of the reasons jailing political enemies is extremely difficult to do now.

Past presidents from centuries ago used the law in their favor to jail or defeat their opponents in an election, so let's end putting a standing president on trail forever, no matter how much the evidence points to their guilt?

If your a criminal, president or not, it's a legal obligation to have that president put on trail, and if their deemed guilty, they should be punished to the full extent of the law. "The Case Against Impeaching Trump" is a lame fest of why Trump should not be charged with any crimes, nor impeached.  Izzy Schurr, aka, Mark Schurr
