Dershowitz On Special Counsel: The Investigation Should End (video)
2018-03-31
[CBS] "That's What They Did In The Soviet Union, 'Show Me The Man, And I'll Find You The Crime'"

Civil Liberties attorney Alan Dershowitz said Wednesday that he is fearful of the criminalization of political differences in today’s discourse and that he doesn’t think special counsels are the right way to approach criminal justice.

Dershowitz spoke to CBS 11 political reporter Jack Fink about Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians to affect the outcome of the 2016 election.

"I think the investigation should end and I think the Congress should appoint a special non-partisan commission," said Dershowitz. He said he thinks a Congressional committee would be too partisan.

"That’s the way it’s done in other western democracies," he continued. "They don’t appoint a special counsel and tell them to ’Get that guy...’ that’s what they did in the Soviet Union. Lavrentiy Beria, the head of the KGB said to Stalin, ’Show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime!'" That’s what special counsel does."

#3  He just doesn't want any special counsel looking into the deeds of Baraq and the Beest.

He sort of missed the transition to the oligarchy back a decade or three ago.

#1  Admits voting for the Beest and having democrat friends. Was involved in the defense of OJ. Perhaps he's had a religious experience. You decide.
