Dershowitz: ‘Not a Crime’ for Trump Campaign to Coordinate with the Russians

EXCERPT:

DERSHOWITZ: "I don’t see this as a major development. For me, as a civil libertarian, it raises great concern. We have a special counsel with a mandate not to investigate crime but to investigate the entire Russian 'matter.' And in general, prosecutors are given statutory authority to investigate only federal statutory crimes. I have no idea what crime is being investigated here. It’s not a crime for a political campaign to coordinate with a foreign government. Perhaps it should be, it’s a terrible thing to do, but it’s not a crime. I worry that the special counsel has a roving commission to investigate sin, political evil, and that raises great dangers. He’s looking for a crime."
