harvard law school and the author of the case against the democratic house impeaching trump mr dershowitz it's such a honor and such a pleasure talking to you thank you very much for that. well thank you so much as you probably know i voted against president trump i'm a liberal democrat i worked hard to see that hillary clinton would get elected but i'm very much opposed to efforts to remove this president who i voted against by unlawful means whether by invoking the twenty fifth amendment to the constitution which was written for presidents who are incapacitated by medical or psychiatric reasons or whether by impeachment that requires high crimes and misdemeanors so i'm very much in favor not of president trump but in favor of the constitution now when you say that the you're in in favor of the constitution and the civil liberties rather than motivated by any personal sympathies for president trump do people believe you are on is a hard case to make in this day and age of the united states it's a very hard case to make and people either don't believe me or don't care many friends who are

and mr rosenstein sitting around a group were preparing professor dershowitz dershowitz really plotting a soft coup using the twenty fifth amendment which was never designed for that for because of their opinions of the president's exercise of his authority was somehow nefarious without any basis what to do so i think that's what's most troubling so i am beginning to believe as the president has said many times that there are a lot of people in part in the bureaucracy that have never accepted his legitimacy that have never wanted him to be president are doing everything possible to undermine him michael politically what about the split in the democratic party the progression wing in the establishment wing is that where you oh it certainly does it seems that a lot of the heat and a lot of the activism a lot of the energy is on the far left but i think we see the tail wagging the dog and i think this was evidenced by this new member of congress that attacked a pac ad and was immediately condemned by all parts of our party although some other folks rolled their eyes that something that peo

dershowitz i'm sure seem to have lines and did new york times about after its impeach president trump through the use of the twenty fifth amendment what do you make of it well it was a terrible terrible abuse of the constitution the constitution provides for impeachment that's a political legal remedy but the twenty fifth amendment was designed for people who had a stroke or a president reagan when he was shot when you're incapacitated when you're unconscious when you're unable to be the president it provides a mechanism for replacing the president with the vice president it was never intended to be used to rid the country of a president who people don't agree with think may have committed obstruction of justice or collaboration with russia that's not what the twenty fifth amendment was intended to use and when the justice department itself which is supposed to support the constitution tries to undercut the constitution that raises fundamental questions about the mindset of those who are in charge of enforcing our law while the groundwork for the miller investigation was late in early

being directly involved with the russians and one one interesting point that dershowitz made it makes is that even if administration officials had some contacts with the russians having a contact in and of itself is not enough to support the collusion charge. well first of all even if there were. between the trim campaign and some russians that would not be a crime it's not a crime to. it would be a crime only if members of the trump campaign or any campaign urge people in another country to commit a crime like hacking the emails of their opponents the democratic national committee but there's no evidence of that at all. and i suspect in the end what they'll find is there was some people in the campaign who had contact with some people in russian intelligence perhaps some contact with wiki leaks and contact with others but they're not going to be able to make a case for the government of russia. being illegally with the. presidential candidate donald trump. we are running this interview in full this coming sunday and i think it raises a number of very interesting points about the leng

donald trump has fired office and it's he quotes the views of harvard law professor emeritus alan dershowitz who happens to be the latest kasten artie's worlds apart shake the host of weight checks on a boy k. join me to discuss the interview this whole discussion was triggered by the latest revelations by former f.b.i. deputy chief and my cape who on the record admitted that the justice department officials indeed considered back in two thousand and seventeen invoking the twenty fifth amendment to remove donald trump from office now that amendment provides for a process of discharging a sitting president if he is mentally or physically incapacitated but according to alan dershowitz this by no means applies to trun because he's physically fit he may disagree with his policies and a lot of people do but that is not the grounds for invoking this amendment and according to some people on the tram side that was as close as the united states has ever come to an administrative who when a group of an elected security officials get together and discuss removing democratically elected president from

mr dershowitz by the american prosecutor is that is being applied not only to political figures in in the terms case but it's also being abused across the united states and this is what we discussed at length one more thing that i want to mention here is that he said that even if the members of the trumpet ministration had any contacts with the russians that still is not enough to prove the collusion point. well first of all even if there were. between the trump campaign and some russians that would not be a crime it's not a crime to call lewd it would be a crime only if members of the trump campaign or any campaign urge people in another country to commit a crime like hacking the emails of their opponents the democratic national committee but there's no evidence of that at all. and i suspect in the end what they'll find is there was some people in the campaign who had contacts with some people in russian intelligence perhaps some contact with wiki leaks and contact with others but they're not going to be able to make a case for the government of russia. being illegally with the presi

what professor dershowitz means, of course.the way, the attorney general doesn't take the report and say, "here you go, guys." the way it works he provides a summary of the report to congress. that's the way it all works. but what professor dershowitz is saying that it ought to be leaked out. >> harris: you think it will be leaked? >> i'm not sure i agree 100% with the professor, who i have great respect for always. i think it's clear that bill barr will do the best he cannot provide a summary of what's in there. make no mistake about it, the sound bites will be flying like rockets. which is the only reason for this, because the doj has said in memos that he can't indict the president. the next one, you hear 20 times before brexit. it is because somebody's not being charged doesn't mean they didn't do it. just means you can't prove it. on and on. because it's political toxicity more than law. >> harris: i try not to hear that before breakfast. president former attorney michael cohen is set to testify privately before three comm

we will ask harvard law professor alan dershowitz.e staged some of the most famous defenses in legal history. the o.j. case and many others. he joins me now, okay, alan, what is smollett's defense here? >> well, his defense is that nobody every gets prosecuted for making falls reports. remember tawana brawley the people who defended her went free and went on to political and media careers. there are other instances. who make false reports and they are never prosecuted. look, we have to presume everybody innocent. if the facts are as the police sayhe they are, if payments were made and a plan was hatched to put a rope around the neck and a police report was filed, then we have the potential for a serious crime. i am surprised they charged him only with disturbing the peace. that doesn't sound like this is what happened here. so we have to wait and see -- >> laura: even as a defense attorney, i was a criminal defense attorney too, should this matter here? to me given the toxicity of the charges and the heat that is on chicago and the ra

as you heard alan dershowitz, and comey was criticized for that. that the wrong decision by comey? >> i absolutely agreed with director comey's approach at the time, and since, you know, i have had the benefit of some reconsideration of those things that we did, and i think i'm pretty clear about it in the book, i think that that decision was not well thought. i think we underestimated the kind of political toxicity of the environment that we were launching our conclusions into and i think we overestimated our ability and jim's ability to convince people of the great work that we had done. >> the case file is precedent, and is it one the fbi should follow in this investigation? >> i'm not sure jim's decision to announce it in july is a precedent. however, i think that it is a very concerning and now recent precedent. the volume of information that the fbi turned over to congress in the wake of after the investigation was concluded. that is something that concerned me greatly at that time, and i thought, you know, this is a -- this is a practice tha
