he is of course alan dershowitz, author of "the case against impeaching trump."fessor, thanks very much for coming on. so, what do you want, not as a partisan or someone who votes with democrats, but as someone who cares about preserving our justice system? what do you want to see in these hearings tomorrow? >> i want to see the greatest engine of truth ever invented, namely cross examination. and i'm worried that we don't have the right people. the woman who has been hired tos conduct the cross-examination has probably rarely ever cross-examined anybody. she's a prosecutor. prosecutors put on cases and mostly defendants don't take the stand. so this is a woman with 20 years of experience as a prosecutor but no experience as a defense attorney, so i don't think she's the right person to question dr. ford. there needs to be cross examination not only of her, but of the new avenatti allegation. that affidavit is so deeply flawed and so open-ended thatea any good lawyer, any good defense attorney would be able to tear that apart in 30 seconds. it's an embarrassment

even alan dershowitz is out. everyone -- a lot of people are saying what is alan dershowitz, what's he doing, he's lost his mind? and he says i'm supporting the constitution, i'm supporting the law. he's out with a new piece where he argues there needs to be a postponement, they need to postpone this vote and there needs to be an fbi investigation. let me read this. he said "right now there are too many unanswered questions to bring the confirmation of kavanaugh to a vote of the judiciary committee as scheduled on friday much less a vote of the full senate if kavanaugh actually did the things ford alleges, something he vehemently denied again thursday, he might honestly not remember the events ford described, especially if he was as drunk as she says he was. it is also possible that in one of them -- if one of them is -- that one of them is deliberately lying. right now there is no way of knowing for certain. which is why the fbi needs to talk to the judge's accusers and others." >> that's exactly right. you know

alan dershowitz will be here to discuss trump's latest fight with the justice department. you won't believe what we're learning about doj official bruce ohr. raymond arroyo is here with his friday folly segment with how he'll tell us how the funeral of at, music legend at times becama political rally. plus we have updates about nfl players kneeling during the anthem and president trump's's efforts to remake the nafta agreement all coming up. but first, our top story, cnn caught red-handed! as we've been telling you this week,e' cnn's blockbuster story last month about michael cohen was dead wrong! the network went wild with an anonymously-sourced report that claimed cohen was prepared to tell mueller's team that president trump knew in advance about thatt infamous 2016 trump tower meeting between donald trump jr. and a russian lawyer. we now know that cnn lied about cohen's a attorney lanny davis being a source for the piece, andha here is a kicker: davis nw says the story is false, but still, cnn is sticking with its story and business insider is reporting thehe network i

we spoke with retired professor alan dershowitz ahead of today's hearing.t it is over what did he think of the outcome? alan dershowitz also the author of "the case against impeaching trump." and he he joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. you watched the hearing from beginning to end. what is your assessment? >> when i watched her, i thought she was extremely credible and i had grave doubts whether he could win the credibility contest. but he made a remarkable comeback and he really testified in a completely compelling manner. so i think in the end there is a tie when it comes to personal credibility. so how do you break the tie? i think one way is to look for corroboration. and he has much more corroboration on his side. now the best way to make sureat that corroboration is accurate is for the committee to call the other witnesses. and let the f.b.i. continue its background check. and i think in the end, it will do him more good than harm. >> tucker: now when we spoke yesterday, you said that you were concerned about the choice of rachel mitchell fro

she explained to you i thought rather soberly as did alan dershowitz why the policies she is pursuing in a positive way. not leading to more crime. >> tucker: she is not criminologist. she is someone expressing hopes that the policy will succeed. but there is a mountain of evidence -- but you're not answeringoi my question. but the question is are you really going to get before voters and say the problem with america we are too tough on shoplifters and drug dealers? what about the people saying i own a store and i'm not okay for shoplifting. normal people will say, what about me? >> she explanned how she was proposing to do that without spending the money. you know who is in favor of ending mass incarceration? chuck grassley. not some radical democrat a working with a guy you heard of, too, jared kushner, and the democrats trying to get the general justice reform. >> tucker: i don't care what some republican says. i don't care about parties.as i care about the ideas. i care about the government protecting normal people. who aren't illegal aliens or billionaires. normal people.ll they

liz: alan dershowitz calling for investigation to disgraced anti-trump fbi agent peter strzok, after released text-messages appear to show strzok discussing a media leak strategy with coworker, lisa page. back in 2017. >> text reading. >> i had just gone to fine this phone to tell you, i want to talk to but media leak strategy with doj before you go. let's bridge i in -- bring in attorney author of new york time bestseller book, greg jarrett. they say this is about they were talking about antileak strategy. >> that is a lie, offensive and ludicrous on its facing, look at one of text-messages, we have now seen from peter strzok to lisa page. article is out. exclamation point, well done, page. what does that mean? article out? they were not stopping an article from coming out, they were creating an article through know an unauthorized leak that was planted in media. >> about carter page. >> about carter page. and so, it is preposterous for them to argue they were stopping leaks when evidence on its face right there, they were leaking. by the way the professor correct. that is a crime i

whether it leads to impingement, i'd dismiss alan dershowitz 'his arguments.re donald trump as a de facto client to make it. who knows what manafort is offering and who knows if it's necessarily true. but it can't be nothing. >> bret: here's the president talking to ainsley earhardt about manafort. >> one of the reasons i respect paul manafort so much as he went to -- for 30-40 years, i've been watching flippers. everything's wonderful and they get ten years in jail and they flip, whoever the next highest one is. or as high as you can go. it almost ought to be outlawed. it's not fair. >> bret: are you considering pardoning paul manafort? >> what he did, some of the charges they threw against him? every consultant, every lobbyist in washington probably does. >> bret: at the time, paul manafort was suggesting he was not going to cooperate. >> interesting because it's so new. when you face ten years you are going to flip, but you will flip on anybody. including the person on the top. we do not know what you are going to provide. there has to be something of subst

bring your challenges. >> we have alan dershowitz with us.ppearing at the general assembly. look at the crawl in front of our building, speaking of alan dershowitz's book we have the professor with us right now, the case against impeaching donald trump. good morning. yesterday was crazy. satellite rod rosenstein, deputy attorney general had either resigned, about to resign or was about to be canned. chaos in the west wing, they were trying to get the story together. what do you think is going to happen thursday when they have a heart-to-heart? >> he is not going to be the deputy attorney general after the election. the question is timing, whether or not the president wants to fire him, whether he would prefer to have him resign, whether he wants him to be an election issue, what happens in terms of succession, who replaces him, what impact it has on mueller, but if you ask me who is the deputy attorney general the united states starting in january of next year it will not be rod rosenstein. brian: does it matter if he quit or if he is fired?

we have a full cast of characters, sarah carter, alan dershowitz, sebastian gorka all weighing in tonight. plus the latest on the confirmation of judge kavanaugh. negotiations are still underway to this hour. for his accuser, professor ford to appear under oath. there is now a 10:00 p.m. deadline. one hour from now professor ford has to tell the senate whether or not she plans to appear. they have tried to accommodate in never way -- in every way imaginable. you should hear from dianne feinstein is saying. we'll explain. the democrats don't seem to care at all. they have convicted brett kavanaugh in the court of public opinion. no presumption of innocence. no due process. we have a lot to break down. we'll go slow. a lot to get in. stay tuned for the friday night breaking news opening monologue. >>> there is one man at the very top of this russian collusion witch hunt. after attorney general, jeff sessions, recused himself from all things russia, the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein assumed responsibility after massive conflicts of interest. he drafted a report detailing why comey

kurt, i would ask you because alan dershowitz was up in arms about this. are you?i don't buy it. i don't buy it because i don't trust the new york times. the characterization is some serious attempt to bug the president like a cosa nostra investigation and invoke the 20th amendment it sounds ridiculous and silly. i don't like the media generally because the way they have behaved. in this case even though it supports my general feeling that rod rosenstein should be fired, i just don't buy. plenty of reasons to fire the sky. john: eric, should rod rosenstein, i keep saying around, should he be fired? >> well, again, as kurt mentioned we don't know if it's true. we have no idea. if it is true, it certainly suggests this is a man that is not emotionally stable during times of pressure and stress and that would react in a way that is lacking in the conduct you have in that position. and that he would expose himself in front of people with those comments. it seems inconsistent with the way he is presented his image today himself but we don't know whether it's true or not

. >> carl, considering what alan dershowitz said about the investigation, what happens next? saying exactly what we have been saying here tonight. it's a big deal that alan dershowitz who has been on the other side of a lot of things having to do with the president said what he did and brings his legal experience to the argument. but there's one other aspect that we got to look at. this is still a chance at redemption for our system. we have four senators perhaps who can show profiles in courage such as we have never seen perhaps in our adult lives. and that is for susan collins, flake, a couple others to say just what dershowitz has said, just what we're saying here, pause, investigate, let's learn who these people are. let's find out about these witnesses. what is the rush here? we waited 400 days with garland. look, mr. president, you're going to get a nominee. >> whatever the case we need to find out the truth here. and this is an opportunity for these four senators have an opportunity to literally rescue had nation at a terrible, terrible moment. >> what's the rush here

alan dershowitz was being nice about rudy giuliani.was a time when rudy giuliani was a great lawyer. but it was lost in the mists of time now because there is no question about it, this is -- these -- he's building this case in such a way, step by step. so what was the president tweeting about? almost every single word in that tweet over the weekend was false. this is a legal investigation. it's been upheld by federal courts. they're not angry democrats. i mean, bob mueller is a republican. all of the -- and it's a witch-hunt in search of a crime. well, just look around at the number of crimes and the number of convictions. >> i feel like crimes in search of enough grand juries to hear them in private. crimes and witnesses, i mean the idea, i guess that the president has so much less visibility into what mueller is doing than he thinks he does. the idea that he can assert anything i guess explains why everything that he asserts means nothing. >> anyone who has worked in a white house or knows anything about a special investigator nose

alan dershowitz, thank you. >> thank you, professor. department. >> this is the story of murderrier and fugitive peter chadwick. a man who left those two boys all alone and waiting at the bus stop. >> the newport beach police department in california releasing the six part series called countdown to capture. looks at the case of millionaire fugitive peter chadwick accused of killing his wife in 2012. police say he could be anywhere. a teacher is accused of turning a preschool into a fight club. ohio police say williams encouraged kids to duke it out on the playground and would post the videos of brawls online. the children all under the age of 5. williams is now out of a job and charged with 21 counts of child endangerment. no kids were seriously injured. collin kaepernick's attorney now hinting at a return to the football field. >> i would just say stay tuned that next week there may be some news. ainsley: mark geragos could be interested in signing kaepernick. comes as prepares to receive dubois medal. he co-founded the naacp in 1909.

is that a crime in alan dershowitz's book? to say that i really think that you should've disclosed your relationship with, uh, cohen when you talked about him on this show. i think it would've been much, much better had you disclosed that relationship. you were in a difficult situation, obviously. - if you understand the nature of it, professor, i'm gonna deal with this later in the show-- - no, i understand. - it was minimal. i put out a statement about it. - you should've said that. and that would've been fair to say. - it was such a minor relationship in terms of... - you should've said that. - you--you should've said that. you--you should've said that.

>> alan dershowitz doesn't know anything. he wasn't there. if manafort knows that trump gave russians something in exchange for their help to rig the election, which we know to be a fact, that would be an impeachable offense what is an impeachable offense? whatever the senate and congress thinks is itmpeachable offense. whether or not paul manafort has anything that will change the mind of lindsey graham -- >> no. >> -- who knows. paul butler, the track record here right now for bob mueller is pretty good. police report convicted. michael flynn pleaded guilty. richard pineda pleaded guilty. 13 russian nationals i dated, you can see he's doing pretty wel well. >> he's a relentless prosecutor. >> there were 10 counts that the virginia jury couldn't agree on. that case was kind of over, but mueller yesterday in court made manafort say those ten things that the jury couldn't agree on, yeah, i committed those crimes as well. he is a relentless prosecutor. all he does is win. now manafort folded like cohen before him. everyone in his sights mueller

>> i saw alan dershowitz say that's a problem. it's supposed to be adversarial. but if you look at what's going on with jeff zucker and andy lack, the president is constantly trying to muddy the waters. andy lack might have separate problems. it's fitting his narrative that the lester holt interview was wrong. the problem calling jeff zucker's firing is trying to insert himself into the at&t merger. donald trump should send jeff zucker flowers for everything he has done for him. howie: the president went after him in personal terms. he called bernstein sloppy, a man who lives in the past. carl bernstein defended himself in his own tweet saying i have spent my life as a journalist. no taunt will diminish my commitment to that mission. mollie: there is a fantasy held by the media that they hold democratic administrations accountable. many americans were awake during the last administration. and they saw how the administration was tweeted. carl bernstein has an image of himself i'm not sure is matched by reality. they claimed he wasn't a source, they put that in the

serious questions about the other accusations against brett kavanaugh and harvard law professor alan dershowitzs the stakes are too hard to let those questions go unanswered. >> you had a woman today on television saying it is sexist to have appointed a woman lawyer. he would have sexist to appoint a male lawyer. you need a gender-neutral robot now to cross-examine if you want to avoid claims of sexism. it is a no-win. cross-examination must be effective, tough, respectful. there is so much at stake. a man's life, reputation, career, family, the people of america having a justice sitting on the supreme court, the stakes are too high. i don't agree with republicans that you have to take the vote on friday or that there shouldn't be a continuing background check, truth has to be the determining factor. we can't let this vote happen until we know whether these serious allegations did or did not occur and there can't be a presumption of guilt. >> gender-neutral robots. democrats are reverting back to their document battle, or senator jeff merkley says he is suing to stop the confirmation vote altog

let's bring in alan dershowitz, author of "the case against impeaching trump." and what we're hearing from ken starr. >> too many people say they don't remember when they do remember. it's a serious problems in deposition and trial. as ken starr said it's hard to prove that somebody is lying when they say they don't remember. a good lawyer can press and press and press but in the end if they say they don't remember, you have to psycho analyze their most inner thoughts to be able to prove it. look, i generally agree that people should take a very cautious approach toward criminalizing political differences. to making something a crime when you disagree with somebody. so in the end i think ken starr did the right thing. he resolved against prosecuting. i wish this special prosecutor would approach his task in the same way. resolve all doubts against prosecuting, use the mighty weapon of the criminal justice system only as a last resort for absolutely clear crimes, not crimes like obstruction of justice and other kinds of loosely-worded accordion like, every expand

sorry, alane -- dershowitz and jonathan turley, constitutional scholars, who were supporters of obamand his policies but were critical of him during his administration's. said thaturley president obama was a very danger that the constitution was designed to print -- was designed to prevent. rhetorical question -- instead of making declarative statements. people do not like to be told what to think. they like to come to the conclusion themselves. if someone cannot get a job at $10 and i, how will they ever get it at $15? use whene tools i people are in the resistance is i ask this rhetorical question which powers them down. -- with half of the country quaking in their boots that the wrong party is going to win, wouldn't it make america great again if we did not have to worry about which political party won the white house? and that powers them down right away. telling stories because they are memorable -- ronald reagan and great trump have done a job of using stories and their addresses. but also, they are indisputable because they are your stories. i am going to tell my personal story

. >> alan dershowitz, the famed harvard law professor, he says this manafort plea deal, guilty plea,very big deal and should worry the president. >> i think it is a big deal, and i think it goes to what gloria mentioned. how big a deal depends on what paul manafort knows and how much he's actually able to tell prosecutors. there is reason to believe that the answer to that question is that he knows a lot. this is a senior member of the campaign, he was present at this trump tower meeting, among other things, including able to refute or corroborate other testimony other witnesses have given under oath as well. and this plea agreement only works for him to the extent that he's told robert mueller everything. we know there was a proffer agreement, written proffer on august 11. the bad news for the president is the fact that robert mueller is racking up more cooperators and getting more information suggests this investigation is nowhere near wrapping up. >> take a look at this, preston. the guilty pleas are all cooperating, they're working with robert mueller, the special counsel. paul m

earlier on this new yorker, harvard law professor alan dershowitz, who while not working for trump has been accused of being a cable news water carrier for the president of late says the white house should be alarmed and adds that any possibility of a pardon now seems remote. >> he'd have been much better off pardoning early rather than waiting until these are raised. i don't think we will see any kind of a pardon at this point. >> as as to what manafort can offer mueller et al. remember he was at the tower meeting, having done business in that part of the world and worked for a number of powerful russian, himself, he has been if business with roger stone a key figure if all of this who has not been called in yet. tonight, nbc news is reporting manafort has already had initial conversations with the mueller team. it's a lot to talk about the end of a long week. lets bring in our leadoff panel friday fight, mike at schmidt, "new york times," washington correspondent. josh ger stein, barbara pittsburgh quaid a former u.s. attorney for the eastern district of michigan around jeremy bash f

. >> laura: alan dershowitz called this a big deal today. he said basically this was not great news for the administration. he also then discussed the issue of a possible pardon and the timing of a pardon for paul manafort. let's watch. >> wouldn' once he agrees to cooperate he has to cooperate with everything. know such thing as partial cooperation. the question is did he cooperates too late. would he have been better off cooperating before his first trial. i think he was prantsdz hoping for a par con. the question comes up did the president act too late if he was requesting to pardon he would have been much better than cooperating early. >> laura: kendall, your thought on the issue and overall plea. >> it doesn't look like going to hand. manual for the may have hopes for one and then he decided to turn nut towel. i don't believe this is a make make event. if indeed he had the president that he would be cooperating a song time ooj if we look at this set of criminal charges and comparing it to michael cohen, of the enen this doesn't do anyth

selling book "new york times" the case against impeaching trump, harvard law professor alan dershowitz, and fox news contributor andy mccarthy. comes down to this, both of you i know are good people. i know your work in the southern district of new york. i know where you stand on indicting a ham sandwich and criminallizing differences professor dershowitz. when you have the upper echelon of the fbi and the doj coordinating likes that turn out, professor, to be untrue in an ongoing investigation at what point do people get held accountable for this? >> this is a very serious problem. we have too many likes, many of them are unlawful. many of them are in violation of the laws and the rules. and we have too little disclosure of allegedly classified material, and exculpatory information. they have it backwards. they should be disclosing this material they claim is classify, 95% of it, declined signed to protect people, not designed to protect national security. they must reveal exculpatory material. they should never be leaking. the tragedy, the former hefd the fbi, james comey, gave permi

. >> we had on this network earlier today, i was interviewing alan dershowitz.hat he said today. he said this was a big win for bob mueller. he said this opens new doors for bob mueller and his tone in terms of the implications, it seemed to me to be different than what we have been hearing from somebody who has been defending trump from a legal standpoint in the court of public opinion. do you view this as different in nature? >> well, i think nick has laid out a list of possibilities. i'll add another because paul manafort worked and collaborated for years with john podesta. knows a lot about the interactions of russians with hillary clinton when she was secretary of state. half a million of dollars went to hillary clinton. >> is there any indication that is where -- >> we don't know. it's endless. we have a situation which this investigation could go kind of anywhere robert mueller wants to take it. we don't know. we know every bit of evidence that's been made public to date does not support a claim that the trump campaign collaborated with, colluded with the

. >> judge, we heard alan dershowitz who has been positive about the president saying it's a huge win mueller, opens up a lot of doors that haven't been opened. in terms of the russia investigation. at the same time we hear a dismissive reaction from the president's legal team. this is meaningless, has nothing to do with the president himself. who is right? we don't know. >> we don't know. understandably it would be dismissed by the president as a nothing burger, there's nothing to this. i think alan is right. bob mueller has someone cooperating with him. he was on the other side of the courtroom fighting every step of the way. now you have paul manafort saying i'm now here to help. i'm going to be honest and truthful. by the way, if manafort is not truthful, the deal is off. it's the prosecutor who makes the determination whether the witness is living up to the agreement of being truthful and cooperative. we don't know. >> the way bob mueller -- i have worked with bob mueller. the way he's looking at it is i'm now looking to getting to the bottom of the original natsinatissue of coll

. >> i want to play you a bit of what alan dershowitz said yesterday about how this could be dangeroushe president. take a listen to that. >> there's nothing that he can testify to that would probably lend weight to impeachment because he didn't really have close contact with president trump while he was president. but he did have contact during the campaign. tough question whether or not alleged crimes committed to get somebody elected president is an impeachable offense. we don't know the answer to that. >> do you agree with that, joyce? >> so, respectfully, i disagree with professor dershowitz. i do believe that the law would permit congress to consider as grounds for impeachment conduct by a candidate that was aimed at illegally acquiring the office. so if, and it's a big "if" here, we don't know if there was collusion between the campaign and russia, and even if there was collusion, we don't know what the president knew or if he participated in it, but if there's a worst case outcome here where the president was involved and was a knowing participant, i think that would provide fe

as alan dershowitz said yesterday, this could be dangerous for the president. >> there's nothing he couldd lend weight to impeachment. he didn't have close contact with president trump while he was president. but he did have contact during the campaign. tough question, whether or not alleged crimes committed to get somebody elected president is an impeachable offense. we don't know the answer to that. >>> joining me now, john lauro. >> it's one of the most significant developments that has occurred since the special counsel has been appointed. manafort is motivated to cooperate in all areas, whether it's tax fraud, money laundering, acting as a foreign agent and certainly anything with respect to his activities as the campaign manager over a four month period. all of that is open to review. once you decide to cooperate the prosecutor's own you. let me put it that way. you're there to provide information in anyway possible. and he's looking at a stiff sentence and trying to reduce that, i expect he's going to cooperate very vigorously. >> vigorously, i mean, he will tell the whole truth an
