Dershowitz: Trump Ought To Make One Phone Call to Martha Stewart and Ask If She Thinks He Should Meet with a Prosecutor

RUSH EXCERPT: 

DERSHOWITZ: "I don’t want to see anybody criminally prosecuted. I don’t think the Mueller people should be prosecuted for obstruction of justice. I don’t want to see the law obstruction of justice expanded. I came into this and wrote my book about the impeachment of trump, I believe if they had gone after hoik report same way I would have made the same arguments. I’m against the impeachment system against anybody. I think when you call for the prosecution of other people, you essentially strengthen the. The strategy to make muler an offer he can’t accept. That is, an offer that’s to paraphrase the “Godfather,” then the president can announce wanted to speak, but Mueller turned down the offer. It’s he who is being unreasonable. I think that’s a brilliant strategy. But to talk about prosecuting other people. It’s not consistent with my approach as I civil libertarian to narrow the scope of the criminal law. Kennedy: Why trump fired James Comey and what he might have said about going easy on Michael Flynn. Rudy Giuliani down played those on “Hannity” last night. Is that fair to avoid? Yes. And I think they will win if that case comes to court. I don’t think the Constitution allows them to question a president under article 2. The question, did you know about the meeting in the Trump Tower before you were elected president. That I think the president can’t claim executive privilege over. If he answers it truthfully that he didn’t know. There is a witness, Michael — Michael Cohen who said he did know. So the prosecutor has a basis for charging the president with lying to Mueller. And that would be a perjury trap. He could walk into that perjury trap for telling what he believed the truth to be. Kennedy: What happens then? What happens as far as indicting the president? That doesn’t seem to meet the threshold or high crimes and misdemeanors. Does it?"
