and in miami we cross to alan dershowitz. he's a professor emeritus at harvard law school as well as author of the book the case against the democratic house impeaching trump all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate let me go to alan dershowitz first in miami alan dershowitz you and i probably couldn't agree on anything on policies on politics you're a man from the left i am not but you are the only person on the left that came through this unscathed and i would even say enhanced so i appreciate your work in discussing this question first question is here most report donald trump says exonerates him maybe so but for me it is a searing indictment of the f.b.i. and how the f.b.i. conducted itself and how we got to having to have such a special report and end up with the results that we did what was the crime it seems like there was a conspiracy without a crime go ahead alan dershowitz in miami. well most f.b.i. agents are wonderful they devote their lives

you're involved in this stalin had said it to stalin ok alan dershowitz backs me up on that. william year a forensic expert here and you in the in the beeps group have done thorough investigation and research into this i'm sure the miller or other people of people it contacted you and wanted to know what you thought about all of this hacking but they didn't did they go ahead william. no they didn't in fact you know we were prepared to testify in front of the any of the committees also mueller's group none of them wanted to know about the forensics so i don't you know it was very clear to us the forensics prove that the data for from the d.n.c. was downloaded to a storage device and transported for some distance prior to prior to wiki leaks putting it on the web other material that wiki leaks put out didn't show the the transfer of data to sort but the d.n.c. data did show that so it was a very clearly someone who was very close to the data who copied it down to a thumb drive or a cd-rom of some sort and then transported it for some period of distance but other than that there

felony conviction and time in prison go ahead alan dershowitz. well i completely agree i think the pfizer court was defrauded that is you can show information to the pfizer court which isn't particularly compelling as long as you tell the court what the source is and alerted to the weaknesses and the conflicts of interest but you cannot. provide material to the court claiming it's credible when you yourself know that it lacks credibility particularly the pfizer court operates exporting they don't hear two sides they only hear one side so they trust the government officials to present the whole truth and nothing but the truth and the government officials who presented the application for the pfizer warrant failed that test and i think there ought to be considerations of contempt proceedings contempt of court proceedings an issue aided by the fire as a court against those who may well have misled them you know we but we still have rod rosenstein in the d.o.j. he would say he signed off on the fourth finds a warrant and i thought it was very interes

dershowitz jump in. guest: you should amend the constitution. you have to have today bribery, treason, and other high crimes and misdemeanors. just deciding on who you want to vote for our political reasons. none of them constitute impeachable reasons. my job as a constitutional lawyer is to make sure that very important that very important line between political sense and federal crimes is always complied with. because if you can impeach president trump for doing what you suggest, you can impeach a democratic president for the same thing. every president would be subject to impeachment. remember when hillary clinton looked election she was going to win the presidency, republicans said they would impeach her on one. i wish that had happened because i support hillary clinton, and it would be much more popular with my liberal democratic friends if i had written a case called -- a book called -- the case against impeaching hillary clinton. i wrote the same book, but it is about donald trump. complying withon neutral, bipartisan principles, and that

first in miami alan dershowitz you and i probably couldn't agree on anything. on policies on politics you're a man from the left i am not but you are the only person on the left that came through this unscathed and i would even say enhanced so i appreciate your work and discussing this question first question is here most report donald trump says exonerates him maybe so but it's for me it is a searing indictment of the f.b.i. and how the f.b.i. conducted itself and how we got to having to have such a special report and end up with the results that we did what was the crime it seems like there was a conspiracy without a crime go ahead alan dershowitz in miami. well most f.b.i. agents are wonderful they devote their lives to protecting us and i have only the highest regard for the typical f.b.i. agent on the street there was a problem here of a leadership and there were people in the f.b.i. who were determined to make sure that president trump was not elected president even if he got more electoral votes than the other side and so i think we do have a problem and

i agree 100% with alan dershowitz as well, he did leave a dark cloud and he intended to do so. chuck schumer said last year in october, he said to president trump when you go after the intelligence community they have six ways to sunday to getting back at you. think about this, think about mueller's relationship with comey. what was the intention of mueller even making this statement? the only reason he did what he did today was to presumably put that cloud over president trump. but i've got something else to tell him based on what i'm hearing. the department of justice and others are investigating thoroughly including john durham what happened at the very beginning of the investigation into the russia election into the election, and 2016. to basically create a situation where they would find a somebody in the trump campaign. there has been no evidence of that, no collusion and no obstruction, and now they are going to the very beginning of the obstruction and they will find out what happened. and how they utilized those lies to create a disinformation campaign against the pres

for that, i offer my sincere appreciation to alan dershowitz. here is the contrast between barrow and mueller. mueller comeshe out and speaks r nine and a half minutes, does not take a single question. barr on the other hand sits down to an interview and takes questions. ath huge difference in somebody who comes out and says, i'm not going to say anything other c tn what's in the report, but i'm going to toss some red meat over to the democrats in congress. first it's the attorney general who says, sure, i will take your questions. i've got nothing to fear and nothing to hide. keep in mind that contrast. >> the other thing that barr was right about that it's not the proper role of special counsel to serve as an investigation for congress. he should not have said two of the things he said, number one if the evidence would've shown he was innocent, we would've said so, it's not what the prosecutor said. it's what comey said when he let the other branch of the government do the investigation. you aren't the handmaiden that shouldn't have said anyth

also tonight we will have alan dershowitz. he will discuss the horrific anti-semitic cartoons in "the new york times." we have a busy breaking news night, but we start tonight with the very latest n on this uprisg in venezuela. we have our own trace gallagher standing by with the latest. trace. >> sean, 9:00 p.m. in the capital of venezuela, still protests and clashes underway in what u.s. backed opposition leader juan guaido has dubbed operation freedom. a few hours ago guaido claimed the final phase was underway toe oust maduro, but so far there are no reports that guaido supporters have taken control of any military bases. and nicolas maduro, who has not been seen today, is claiming that the military has shown total loyalty. and there were graphic scenes today of military vehicles plowing into opposition protesters and if in true, in fact the military is standing by maduro, it would be a staggerinl change of events considering earlier secretary of state mike pompeo said that today maduro was about to fly to havana. watch. >

that was really interesting to hear from alan dershowitz. he made the case that those that were siding with robert mueller here might make the case that this was not an ordinary case. he said all the rules, same rules should apply here. final thoughts, andy? >> yeah. i think alan is right about that in terms of just narrowly what is proper for a prosecutor to do. the reason this investigation is screwed up from the beginning, sandra, is it's never been a traditional prosecutor's investigation. it started out as counter intelligence, which you don't need a prosecutor for. i have always thought the linear progression here is the counterintelligence investigation was a pretext to do a criminal investigation without a predicate crime. the criminal investigation has been a free to gather that could be impeachment information to get that to congress. and the impeachment inquiry is what this is really about, which is not removing president trump from power. that's never going to happen. what this is about is bruising him up, that is the president,

. >> i agree with that too but professor dershowitz was so dead on accurate, that's only one side of the story. they don't go to the other side. we have both been reporting extensively, now that this is really over, they denied the truth of the mueller report, the avalanche of power and abuse of corruption that is coming. >> laura: remember when thesepo people, these individuals with transparency and government, you remember that morning about that, notice how they are silent now? john brennan can cook up these sources that provide this dossier and we can all think that these sources are reliable and we are supposed to look the other way. imagine if this was happening to an obama era official, the same facts pointed the other way. they would be freaking out right now. but it's trump, so you can do anything. it's the the double standard is clear, and i know you will have a great show. thanks for joining us for a little extra. >> laura: any time. i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle."ea from a buzz in washington tonight, stay for the entire hour as we dissect every aspec

>> i will get a green from professor dershowitz. this is a fox news alert, donald trump making moves to deliver on two core campaign promises, building the border wall and overhauling trade agreements he calls terrible for america. mike emanuel has more on the president's efforts to get this job done but without congress. >> tired of waiting for congress to act donald trump is taking a go it alone approach on some of the most difficult issues baffling leaders of both parties, immigration and better trade deals. tomorrow the president will rollout his immigration proposal. >> not one more american life should be lost because our lawmakers failed to secure our borders. >> stopping illegal immigration was on donald trump's might at the annual peace officers memorialize he seeks to initiate legal immigration. the president's plan would boost employment and immigration and reduce the emphasis on family-based immigration, recruiting people with extraordinary talent and professionals in specialized vocations and exceptional students but th

joining me via skype from new york his lawyer and harvard law professor emeritus alan dershowitz on thanks for coming on the show what do you make of julian songe in the u.k. court tomorrow via video link on extradition charges to the united states for violating the has been a huge act i think ringback the united states government made a foolish tactical blunder by indicting him and the espionage act merely publishing material that was classified and stolen by busy others had they maintained their original indictment for helping to break into a password and helping to steal classified information i think the extradition would be open and shut and britain would under the tree of extra doubt but now they raise the problem of whether this is a political prosecution whether it's prosecution that could not occur in great britain whether it's a prosecution that great britain in its discretion would prefer not to be part of so i think they made it harder to extradite by this 2nd indictment which was utterly unnecessary they could have given him a whoa sentence if he had been convicted under the 1

dershowitz.nt. democrats do this and continue to drown out anything that they are doing in country and they will drive the independents reluctantly away from the democratic nominee and into the republican column in any opinion, this is a big mistake on their part if they continue to proceed. i couldn't agree more with dr. dershowitz. maria: what are they doing, are they doing anything other than investigating, karl, what has gotten done in the first 130 days? >> they've sent a series of bills to the senate, ethics bill, health care bills and so forth but nobody in america knows about it because what's more interesting to the press and to the public and what juices passing ethics bill or saying impeach president trump, obviously the latter. maria: sounds like you feel that yesterday was victory for the president, is that a fair president? >> well, it wasn't intended as victory to the president but mueller did absolutely backfire and in the end would help the president unless the democrats come to

>> i think professor dershowitz is right. what mueller did yesterday, you know, a lot of people say he didn't say anything that isn't already in the report. but the report is 450 pages long. the speech was about nine minutes long. he picked out the parts and emphasized the parts that he wanted everybody to hear. here's what he wants everybody to understand. i could have indicted here, but i didn't. that's because there was this office of legal counsel justice department guidance that prevented me from doing so. and by the way, in this system it's for congress to deal with the misconduct of a sitting president. so essentially -- that's why i don't think -- if jerry nadler is as savvy as i think he is, he won't push for mueller to testimony. it doesn't get better than what mueller gave him yesterday. >> harris: that's interesting. you were hear walking out when i spoke with congressman mcclintock of the house judiciary committee. its focal point potentially could be this president. >> right. >> so it's important to understand w

and alan dershowitz said he did this with the motive to help the democrats.ouldn't he just say we couldn't determine if he committed a crime. he did say that at some point just the phrasing of that if we had confidence clearly the president didn't commit crime we would have said that. pete: he went out of his way to talk about the russians being indicted the russians are innocent until proven guilty the russians. he never went out of way to say about a sitting president. brian: the president has been brilliant so far being reserved. came out immediately with this. nothing changes from the mueller report there was insufficient evidence and, therefore, in our country, a person is innocent. the case is closed. thank you. as an american citizen i wanted to know if the president or anybody was colluding with the russians to sir couple venting our elections process. after moo reading the mueller report i'm drawn to this. if you thought vladimir putin had direct lines to the president of the united states or visa versa. would this have happened this? this is in the

alan dershowitz is a retired harvard hot law school professo professor. he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. summarize if you would, i know you are paying close attention, the attorney general's behavior in this process. how has he done, do you think? >> the bottom line is that barr is right and mueller is wrong. he defended that there was no obstruction of justice, that a president cannot obstruct justice by firing, pardoning or doing anything that the article two of the constitution authorizes him to do. mueller and report take a different view of that. barr gets the better of the argument historically in the best precedent comes when barr was attorney general when he pardoned caspar weinberger on the eve of his trial and the special prosecutor said he did that to obstruct the investigation. he did that to prevent the culmination of the iran-contra investigation and yet, nobody suggested that a president can obstruct justice by pardoning. and so i think after you put aside about did he or didn't he mislead, or didn't he misstate something, bottom line is didn't obstru

accuse the attorney general taking special counsel's investigation into his own hands but alan dershowitzharvard law school professor says at the end of the day bar is right and mueller is wrong. >> he defended very articulately his conclusion that there was no instruction of justice and the president can't obstruct justice by firing, by pardoning, by doing anything article 2 of the constitution authorizes him to do. mueller and the report take a different view of that. an interesting constitutional legal issue. the best president when barr was attorney general for george hw bush when he hardens caspar weinberger at the special prosecutor said he did that to obstruct the investigation. he did that to prevent the culmination of the iran contra investigation but nobody suggested a president can obstruct justice by pardoning. the president can obstruct justice by firing, he is right and mueller is wrong, the president did not obstruct justice. >> the house has called on robert mueller to testify before may 23rd. in the senate, chuck schumer is demanding judiciary chair lindsey graham do the

jillian: harvard law professor alan dershowitz says mueller exposed a bias for democrats. >> when hewe had confidence the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. it was worse than anything comey said when he exonerated hillary clinton and then said but she engaged in extremely careless conduct. everybody condemned that. this is much much worse. it does show that he had a motive to help the democrats that went beyond the authority of special counsel. rob: democrats first official impeachment efforts were initiated by congressman al green and brad sherman in 2017. >> tornadoes touching down from the midwest to the northeast and several twisters ripping through iowa after unleashing fury in texas and illinois. >> come here, there is a tornado. there is another one forming to the left over there. rob: you can see the funnel cloud in pennsylvania forming above that woman's home as she shot the video and to the south and the west it has been the worst year for tornado alley since 1950. jillian: not far from where i live. aishah hasnie has more. >> tornado sirens go

. >> that is the statement that changed alan dershowitz's mind about a special counsel.ntil today i have defended mueller against the accusation that he is a partisan. by putting his elbow on the scale of justice in favor of impeachment based on instruction of justice mueller has revealed his partisan bias. national security tenney bradley maas and assistant attorney tom dupree here with expert analysis. pleased to have you with us on a busy legal day. i will start with you. there has been a lot between bar and mueller and what they said and didn't say. the question becomes is a prosecutor supposed to go in and say i can't exonerate this person, can't not prove the crime, what are prosecutor supposed to do? >> normally they have sufficient evidence to pursue an indictment or pursue prosecution they would do that. the problem is to mueller faced that he was trying to outline was he had a procedural obstacle that prohibited him from doing so. he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. he had enough evidence to justify pursuing the charge but couldn't do so. he was block

alan dershowitz has it very interesting theory and i'm happy to pass that along. i hope that in very high regard. he's a great civil libertarian and his theory and it's simply a theory, is that bob did not want to overrule his staff. up ahead the less capacious view of the obstruction of justice. one person's theory, we shall see. >> we have about 10 minutes left and i know there are probably a lot of people itching to ask your opinions and thoughts on things so i want to leave time now for audience questions. if you have a question that you would like to ask please come to the microphones. >> i have a question about the privacy criteria for redaction so what are the parameters for that? what kinds of checks and balances exist on regulating that? >> those are fundamentally judgment calls for hill barr to say i think it would simply not serve the public interest for the following three sentences to be included because of embarrassment factors, unjustified notoriety. and checks and balances i think we will see that play out. we have the beginning of a pretty lively

by careful examination by the legal staff, they confirmed that alan dershowitz and others said on my behalf, it was an unjust verdict and i shouldn't have been charged and it was a bad rap. w he handed the favor side to his friends, there would be, you would have five ambassadors in every embassy. >> laura: people should note the prosecutor who had you in his sights was patrick fitzgerald u.s. attorney of chicago. he's now representing jim comey. and the echos of prosecutorial abuse and the use of government and state authority, to target people, any thoughts? >> yes, we found the prosecutors, including the fbi contribution, offering absolute untruths, almost every day. there was never any sanction for it. i have to say, lawyer, a i know are you a well qualified lawyer i'm a lawyer, i haven't practiced for 50 years but i am in theory a lawyer. any serious jurisdiction except the united states would disbar most of these prosecutors. it's absolutely outrageous what they do. as everybody knows, basically what they do, they target somebody, they round up everybody near them, in whatever

counts, and the white house counsel -- after examining the material submitted on my behalf by alan dershowitz was your reaction when you heard about the pardon? >> well, i was very satisfied and gratifieded, naturally. i mean, the whole thing was an outrage. from a-z, there was not a word of truth in any of it, and it's very gratifying after you've spent three years in prison for something you wouldn't have dreamt of doing in a thousand years to have the whole thing, in the president's own word, expunged. whatever the critics say, they're in favor of justice, so they should look at the facts of the case. elizabeth: sir, i read your columns for a long time, and you are an historian, you are interested in, of course, all things, a lot of things political. i'd like your reaction to what happened in the don mcgahn hearing today. here's republican congressman doug collins. let's take a listen. >> actually go read the rest of it that he has been offered to read which he has chose not to read. he left out what he doesn't want to have to come back to and the frustrate thing thing that has brought us

. >> that changed alan dershowitz's mind about the special counsel, until today, i have defended muellerhe accusations that he is a partisan. by putting his elbow on the scale of justice in favor of impeachment based on obstruction of justice, mueller has revealed his partisan bias. national security expert bradley moss is here, please to have you with us on a very busy legal da day. i'll start with you, there has been a lot of parsing between barr and mueller, what they said or didn't say, is a prosecutor supposed to go in and exonerate this person, i can't not prove the crime -- one of the prosecutors supposed to do? >> normal if they have sufficient evidence to pursue indictment and pursue prosecution they would do that. the problem that mr. mueller faced was he had a procedural obstacle, it was the olc memo that prohibited from doing so. he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. he had enough evidence that could justify pursuing a charge but he couldn't do so, he was blocked from doing it. what does he do? he knows this report is going to be made public, he outlines detailed fact

was that the white house counsel and their legal staff agreed with the legal analysis that alan dershowitzrs made on my behalf and i never should have been charged and unjust conviction and bad wrap. those are quotes from the president when he called me. trish: in some ways then sir you can certainly relate to what donald trump has been going through right over the last two years. >> that's why you're getting the reaction. no one would care about me particularly, but the fact is some of the players are the same and they managed to send me to jail or prison for three years, they were aiming for 105 years when they started but they couldn't do it to him. they tried to do it to him and it isn't working. trish: not working, and we may see some other folks heading to jail. i mean you know james comey's lawyer because he went after you. it's interesting how these things sort of become; right? >> look at what he did with scooter libby. it is not clear he basically warped and mistreated -- [inaudible]. patrick fitzgerald couldn't lie straight in bed. in any serious jurisdiction he would be disbarr
