let me play a little bit more of what allen dershowitz had to say.ance charge, this is what he said about the other investigation, the one that's taking place in the southern district of new york. take a listen. >> well, i said that right from the beginning because i think he has constitutional defenses to the investigation being conducted by mueller. but there are no constitutional defenses to what the southern district is investigating, so i think the southern district is the -- is the greatest threat. look, it would be good for the american public if president trump sat down and said everything he knows, but it wouldn't be good for president trump. >> wouldn't be good for trump. your thoughts on that, jill-wine banks. >> well, we finally found something i might agree with allen dershowitz on, i quantity believe it. but it won't be good for him because he has done so many things in plain sight i can only imagine how much damaging information robert mueller's team has. the investigation into russian interference has led us to a point where the presi

beyond this legal claim which we'll discuss shortly with jeff toobin and allen dershowitz, he said that those payments were lawful. here's what he said to fox. >> did you know about the payment? >> later on i knew. later on. but, you have to understand, what he did and they weren't taking out of campaign finance. that is a much bigger thing. did they come out of the campaign. they didn't. they came from me. i tweeted about it. i don't know if you know, but i tweeted about the payments. but they didn't come out of campaign. in fact, my first question when i heard about it was did they come out of the campaign because that could be a little dicey. and they didn't come out of the campaign. and that's big. but they weren't -- that's not a -- that's not even a campaign violation. if you look at president obama, he had a massive campaign violation. but he had a different attorney general and they viewed it a lot different. >> well, again, the obama campaign violation certainly drew a hefty fine but was a misdemeanor not a felony. as for the claim the payments he made were personal and kosher

. >> we heard from attorney allen dershowitz, saying the president is far from an impeachable offense and far from a criminal offense. >> if mr. trump, the candidate, contributed several hundred thousand dollars to his own campaign to pay hush money to women who were truthfully or falsely alleging against him that's not a crime. a candidate can contribute as much as he wants. if he directed somebody to do it intending to pay it back. >> cohen will be sentenced on december 12. his lawyer says he doesn't want anything from the president including a pardon. >> shepard: rick, thank you. breaking news now, on fox news channel and this is just in to us here at the network. from our station, fox 29 in philadelphia. which has just reported that new york state investigators have just issued a subpoena to michael cohen as part of the trump foundation probe. again, fox 29 in philly reports new york state investigators have issued a subpoena to michael cohen as part of the trump foundation probe. it's brand new to us, just always it's brand new to you. we will have further reporting and analysis

i heard allen dershowitz on with hallie jackson a little while ago saying the things that michael cohen said he did with the president don't amount to high crimes and merchandise. the president actually tweeted out this morning they're not actually a crime. i think the more relevant thing for people who are thinking about this politically is that michael cohen admitted to doing something that was designed to influence the outcome of the election and many out there saying, maybe the outcome of the election was affected by the fact that these two women karen mcdougal and stormy daniels were not able to speak as freely as they otherwise would have had there not been money paid to them? >> that's exactly right. and history suggests that not all crimes are high crimes and impeachable and not all high crimes are necessarily criminal, but remember the framers said treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. so bribery of a president who was a secret spy or foreign agent to influence an election is the quintessential thing that the framers tried to reform. giving as well as taking

. >> dana: last night allen dershowitz on this network said that all campaigns violate campaign financeat your experience? >> well, not really. but i got to tell you, even more astounded, i sub milted my column for tomorrow on the wall street journal, but i quote somebody in my column, even if cohen and trump did conspire on the payments, the hush money to stormy daniels and the playboy model, that the president is not in jeopardy, he can say sure, i was concerned about exposure in a political campaign but i was also concerned about exposure personally, about the impact on my family and friends, on my personal reputation. by having that nonpolitical unrelated issue, unrelated to the campaign, and the individual was bob bauer, president barack obama's white house counsel. >> dana: you always have a hook. i want to ask you on the democrats taking a new tactic on brett kavanaugh, they have been stalled, they didn't know what to do, looked like he was cruising in confirmation. i don't know if this will work, listen to corey booker about kavanaugh today. >> president of the united states sho

allen dershowitz is a retired harvard law professor, the author of "the case against impeaching presidentmp." the manafort story, convicted of tax evasion, sounds like he did it, i don't think many people are surprised. cohen, part of the guilty plea surrounds money that he moved apparently from trump's together a woman who alleged sexual contact with trump. that's a common scenario among famous people, we have seen a lot of it, people paying off women who say they had sexual contact with the affluent person. is that illegal, how is that a crime? >> well, itself isn't a crime. if the president had paid it directly it wouldn't be a crime. the allegation here is that it was cohen who paid it and made a campaign contribution. which he didn't report at the direction of the president. some stations are already playing the funeral music for president trump. but this is much more complicated, much more knew answered. the crime itself is very, very vague. they try to put edwards, the former presidential candidate, on trial and of course he got an acquit an. it depends completely on the credibilit

if you say bad things, make up stories if you don't know, make up stories, they make up lies, allen dershowitz a statute erected in their honor. it's not a fair thing and that's why it's a big deal for what he did. the it guy to congressman schultz, all the information, they sat there together, they were smiling and laughing, they got nothing, he stole money, had more information on corruption of the democrats or anybody, they don't even have computers and his computers, they just -- you saw that, it was on your show, they gave nothing, nothing. >> double standard? >> double standard, he was worst than anybody in my opinion. he got nothing, he's a democrat. he got nothing. the reason he got nothing is because the dems are very strong in the justice department. i put in attorney general that never took control of the justice department, jeff sessions, never took control of the justice department and sort of an incredible thing. we have the country going so well, mike pompeo is doing incredibly, all of my people are doing incredibly, but the whole thing with going on with the justice and fbi, wh

wrote a piece called "it's time to give socialism a try," and alan dershowitz, author of the book "the case against impeaching trump." allenrecently you thought the democrats wouldn't go that far as to embrace socialism. but that new poll by gallup has to give you pause. >> it certainly does. i'm very concerned about what academics are teaching today on university campuses instead of teaching students how to think, they are telling them what to think, and they are imposing a kind of anti-american, anticapitalist, anti-free market view. look, i am no apologist for socialism but there is a difference between cubist communism, chavez is high handed socialism 40 on communism, and sweden, which does have a mixture of socialism and capitalism. i think you overstate the arguments against socialism. the democrats can't win with socialism. my concern is that both parties are moving too far away from the center. i think the democrats clearly, their younger people are moving hard, hard, hard laugh. i think republicans, too, with their anti-immigration policies are going to alienate a lot of centrists in america. i think that we have
