Dershowitz on Comey Memos: In the End They Will Help, Not Hurt, the President

EXCERPT:

DERSHOWITZ: “Well, I think the memos are not incriminating. They are somewhat ambiguous and they’re self-serving, but in the end I think they will help, not hurt the President if he were to face any kind of legal charges if you would expect the head of the F.B.I. to be a lot firmer about alleged criminal conduct if he was a direct witness to it. Of course, Comey has provided the Trump defense with the greatest possible weapon if he ever takes the stand against Trump and that is manuscripts of his book, earlier drafts, all would subject him to cross-examination, plus the memos which will be unredacted when it comes to trial. So I think this is probably a benefit to the President rather than a detriment.”
