trump and dershowitz and suddenly you have no presidential accountability. none, zero. >> that's why you need to have checks and balances. why it is appropriate for congress to issue subpoenas. but this is a perfect case for checks and balances. the president has the right to oppose the subpoenas and the courts have the oversight over whether congress has overreacted so we're going to be an interesting -- >> does blanket stonewalling on all the subpoena, particularly on these questions dealing with the mueller report, does that end up conte instituting another obstructive act? >> absolutely not. the courts are entitled to strike him down. what the courts will do, they'll look at every subpoena and say there is no broad opposition to responding to subpoenas, but in this case maybe congress went too far. that's what happened during the mccarthy period. the courts said congress went too far. if the courts conclude that the democrats are using this for partisan advantage rather than for legitimate oversight, then the courts will -- >> but time is on the presiden

just shows how ridiculous. >> sean: let me go to you, professor dershowitz. i know the pentagon papers, that case in and out, and "the new york times," they did not steal the information, did not conspire to steal the information. assange saiddi he didn't, that these were sources given to him. with that applying this particular caseou in your view? >> yes, i just wrote a column called "this is the next pentagon papers case." i was involved as a lawyer in the pentagon papers case, i represented the senator who read the pentagon papers into the congressional record. if they indicted him for merely publishing classified material, this would be the pentagon papers case modern version.s but they were very clever, and they indicted him on a very factually questionable bases for encouraging manning to try to get information for asking manning for the first part of a password into a computer -- factually, it's a very weak indictment. it doesn't indict him for publishing classified material. one of the reasons for that is, great britain probably wouldn't extradite som

meanwhile, two liberal comment caters -- glenn greenwald and alan dershowitz -- say they were bootedchannels for defending trump. >> it was continuously on msnbc which, let me just say, should have their top host on prime time go before the cameras and hang their head in shame and apologize for lying to people for three the straight years, exploiting their fears to great profit. >> it's time for cnn to issue an a apology. cnn banned me from their air because i was being too fair. howard: joining us now to analyze the coverage, the culture editor at the federal list, and clarence page, columnist for the chicago tribune. so alan dershowitz, who voted for hillary, wrote in "the hill" he was ordered not to be booked for six months. the brass didn't want their viewers' minds to be confused by the law or the facts. strong charge. >> well, the notion that cnn was trafficking purely in facts over the last two years is absolutely laughable. and same was true of msnbc, so either of them would have absolutely disrupted that narrative, and there was very little disruption as someone who watched

one of the competing issues is going to include an introduction by alan dershowitz, who is a trump supporter. i feel that shows you how if you include that kind of other material with it, you are giving the book a sort of bias that is unavoidable. i think the american people deserve to be respected enough to read this on their own and understand what is in it. there will be a world of discussion. we will not be talking about anything else in the media for the next several weeks and perhaps even months. there will be plenty of analysis outside of the documents that people wanted, but they should get the documents and nothing and nothing but the document. host: how much interest will be in your product and how many books will you print? guest: 50,000 copies. right now, looks like we are going to ship close to that number, so we may be going back for a reprinting soon. it has been a very encouraging response. people want this document and want to be able to read it on their own and not be told what is in it. host: mpbooks.com is the website if you want to check it out. guest: mhpbooks.com. host

just shows how ridiculous. >> sean: professor dershowitz, i know the pentagon papers, that case in and out and "the new york times" v the united states. they didn't steal the information or conspire to steal the information. assange says he didn't. these were sources given to him. would that apply in this particular case in your view? >> yes, in fact i just wrote a column called "is this the next pentagon papers case?" i represented a mike covell. if they indicted him for merely publishes classified materials, this would be the pentagon paper's case modern version. but they were clever. they indicted him on a questionable basis for encouraging manning to try to get information for asking manning for the first part of a pass word into a computer. it factually is a very weak indictment but it doesn't indict him for publishing classified materials. one of the reasons, great britain wouldn't extradite someone for publishing information. if the allegation is conspiracy to try to essentially hack a government computer by getting into the password, then that might pass the level for extraditi

now alan dershowitz is writing the column foray "the hill."f the weapons where of hate of by nazi germany's where cartoons and caricatures that depicted as subhuman animals, often as dogs or spiders. and even worse is the media's effort to lay blame on president trump. for saturday's tragedy of what happened at the synagogue in southern california. how do you blame trump when he wrote a manifesto that he hates trump, hates israel. hates >> he is provocative. take a look. he did dog whistles. take responsibility for your actions, mr. president. >> the whole tenor and spirit of his politics gives these people what they see as a kindic of permission. >> theld president who would not only will not acknowledge that we have an epidemic of white nationalist terror, he is providing that mood music for it. >> he has emboldened the and white nationalists in this country. frankly, it's time to say that. white nationalist say he has inspired them to take us far more public and aggressive stance in trump's america. >> sean: now we know about the suspect. a

and attorney general barr did the exact right thing as professor dershowitz has said.d over. and, again, this was on the flip side, they wouldn't want it released. this is was against hillary clinton. but this is the exact right thing to do legally all the way around. >> sean: let me ask this question of both of you. >> you want to compare, compare what the attorney general did here with what the state attorney did in chicago. exactly the wrong thing. she said it's okay to falsely accuse people. and that's the most undermining part of the justice system. when people know they can get away with it deliberately. >> sean: let me ask this. >> particularly in a racial context. >> sean: the president we know -- oh, i hope a 33-year veteran, oh, i hope he didn't get indicted. he didn't say stop the investigation. he said nobody -- firing comey, comey acknowledged he could be fired for any reason or no reason. or if the president said this was a witch hunt. >> and it was true. >> it's true. >> sean: i mean, is there any issues there for both of you real quick? professor? >> no

here with reaction, the author of the introduction to the mueller report, alan dershowitz and "the hill"'s john solomon. let me start with you, and i especially want to go over the media and i know, professor, you have a lot to say about this as well. >> there has been a few suggestions maybe the media should apologize. i think it has a more important step to take first. it needs to retract the storiess that are now demonstrably false ords demonstrably unproven. once declared drew, now demonstrably proven false. mueller's report lays bare at least a dozen of what i would call dirty dozen stories that are clearly false and some of them are in big publications like "the new york times," like cnn. the writing and journalism is when you are wrong, admit you mare wrong, retract a story, ad move on. that hasn't happened in more than a dozen very important cases.th the media comes out as a loser in this report until they fix those. a >> sean: what about the mueller report containing damaging information on rod rosenstein? nobody really has picked up on that. >> if people flip to page 11 on der

it's the legal position of alan dershowitz. >> i don't agree with alan dershowitz either. >> that's fine, i'm not saying you do. but i would also point out that in 448 pages, robert mueller never mentioned the precedent that is on point and that's the lawrence walsh special counsel precedent with bush pardoning wineberger and others on the doorstep of wineberger's trial. walsh didn't like it and he said he didn't like it. he didn't advance any -- >> that's not controlling precedent. it just happens to be an analog that we can look to. you're right to point at that. but i think the point of fact is -- >> you mean the only analog, chris. let's not minimize the only precedent -- >> what about a supreme court decision? >> let me make another point about it and mueller didn't mention it. why didn't mueller put in the most on point example? >> you're ignoring what he did mention. on page 1 of the report he said -- he basically -- we can put it up, find the graphic, we'll put it back up for people, on page 1, look for it yourself, he says, look -- >> i've read page 1. >> i know you have. i depe

one thing ken starr and one alan dershowitz.s summation of what bill barr said yesterday is that no surprises was his quote. today alan dershowitz said will we get the names of those on mueller's team who reported the way they did? i said why would that be important? he said because so much of this will be viewed in a political lens. it would be important dershowitz argues, to know who those people are so we can get a more fair assessment. have you thought about that? >> i haven't honestly, bill. the report i would imagine is signed by bob mueller. and it would be impossible to determine, other than by interrogating mueller under oath who contributed what parts to it. i don't think you'll see the names of any of the 17 or 18 or 19 lawyers that worked for mueller or 40 or 44 depending how you count them. some were part-time and some full-time f.b.i. agents who worked for him. over the weekend, some people in this team leaked to the media their displeasure about the flavor, the color of the four pages that bill barr released. that

alan dershowitz wrote the book impreaching trump. first on the subpoena matter here, do you see this hype thetically to refuse to issue anything there would be no legal basis for a court to compel him to do that. the shoe on the other foot hypothetical. let's go back to comey announcing he wasn't going to indict hillary clinton because there was insufficient proof of crime and let's assume that the republicans said there was a report within the justice department that says she is extremely careless in the way she handled it and there was an effort by republicans to subpoena that report. first of all. every democrat would be up in arms saying you don't subpoena reports about people who have not been indicted. that's not the way the justice department works. second, the court would say it's within the executive prerogative. how is this different? this is a special counsel. the special counsel under the rules has an obligation to file a report with the attornthe rul that require the attorney general to make the report public, particular
