Dershowitz: ‘It Would Be a Terrible Mistake’ for Trump to Voluntarily Sit Down with Mueller

‘No good comes of that’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DERSHOWITZ: "It’s so important. Everybody should read my article in today’s USA Today because I give advice to the president. It would be a terrible mistake for him to voluntarily testify unless he has no choice. No prosecutor has ever tried to get anybody to speak to him to help that person. It’s to spring a perjury trap. I have never had one of my clients speak to a prosecutor or voluntarily appear before a grand injury. He can fight the subpoena on the grounds that this judge has now apparently ruled saying that many of the questions are beyond the scope of the mandate of the special counsel. Others are within the privilege of a president not to have to answer why he pardoned, why he fired, why he did this and that. Those are not appropriate questions. The one thing you shouldn’t do is volunteer to sit down and talk to a prosecutor. No good comes of that."
