Alan Dershowitz: Trump Tweets Help Thread Obstruction Needle
(Fox News' "Fox & Friends") By Eric Mack | Sunday, 12 August 2018 09:58 AM hare While President Donald Trump's tweet calling for Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's text messages is an effort to open up transparency, it might also be weaponized to help special counsel Robert Mueller "stitch together" and "concoct" an obstruction of justice case, civil rights expert Alan Dershowitz said Sunday. "I understand the president's frustration — these should be public records, there should be transparency — but I'm sure the president's good lawyers are advising him personally to stay out of this," Dershowitz told Fox News' "Fox & Friends Sunday." "Remember, that according to The New York Times report, Mueller is trying to stitch together an obstruction case based on tweets, based on statements he made, based on other things, they're trying to concoct an obstruction case. "And you just don't want to play into their hands. You didn't want to give them anything that they don't already claim they have." Dershowitz indirectly advised the president to seek other ways to open up Justice Department transparency, including instructing his attorney general "to vigorously seek to get the materials." "That would be entirely proper," Dershowitz added. "He can instruct his White House counsel or even his private lawyers to figure out a lawsuit that would entitle the courts to mandate the kind of transparency that the president is seeking. "But I think for the president to get into the weeds on this one, the cost benefit analysis I think would favor having his legal team to it." read more _________________________________________ Whiskey Politics Published on Jul 7, 2018 Ep. 129 – Brandon Straka, Founder of the viral #WalkAway social media movement joins Dave Sussman for this special Independence Day edition of Whiskey Politics. “The #WalkAway Campaign is a true grassroots movement dedicated to sharing the stories of people who can no longer accept the current ideology of liberalism and what the Democratic Party has become.” Brandon discusses his personal story, how the movement is growing, how the Left has reacted to him as a threat to their power, his thoughts on leaving the Democratic Party and why other’s should follow.
