i can tell you that alan dershowitz is very correct. we have to protect the civil liberties. whether republican or democrat or in between, we have to protect those. this is a sad day for civil liberties and those who love those. those rights that we have. yet, it is the worst day for congress because what we have now done, what adam schiff and them have done is basically is harass the president and put forth a political agenda. it is the fourth time we want to get collusion narrative out of it. i don't think so. >> laura: they want multiple bites of the same apple. and the core has already been eaten through. there was no apple there. harmeet, the conflicts of interest, most people hear that phrase across the country laura, what are you got to talk about that? i will tell you why, if you arew on trail in the court and you find out later that the jury actually had personal animus against you as a person for reviews or religion, then that can nullify the verdict, okay? i want to know more about what they did, did they get a legal opinion about the potential conflicts of interes

if you listen to alan dershowitz, which i've have done quite a bit over the last couple of years, it is my recollection that it was cohen pleading guilty to a nonprime, why would someone want to plead guilty to a nonprime? i listen to plenty of prosecutors describe why someone would be made or asked to do something like that. in this case, i pretty much bet that they wanted him to do that because that would let the press and everybody say that trump had an untried co-conspirator, even though it was a nonprime. also -- guest: people plead guilty to non-crimes and people -- things they did not commit all the time. when they are throwing the book at you, you want to look for a deal, because the cost of defending yourself can bankrupt you. thatichael cohen's case, is part of it. when they talk about indicting family members, these issues, it changes your perspective. at this point, you look at how do i cut my losses -- that is common, by the way. people will plead something just to get something else out from under them that would be worse. we are talking about the institution of congres
