Alan Dershowitz: Michael Flynn Plea Deal Is Not a ‘Show of Strength’ By Mueller But a ‘Show of Weakness’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DERSHOWITZ: "Well, the last thing any prosecutor wants to do is to have to indict primary witness for lying because if you indict your witness for lying, it really means he’s not useful as a witness, he has no credibility. I’m sure the prosecutor was Diego to indict him for some scheme or conspiracy but there is nothing there and he had to finally come down and indict him for lying which makes him a useless witness. This is not show of strength by the prosecutor but show of weakness, they have nothing on anybody above a Flynn and Flynn made the terrible mistake about lying about something, he could have told truth about. Perfectly lawful for somebody to do during the transition and so I think it really reflects the weakness not a strength in Mueller’s prosecution."
