Liberal lawyer Alan Dershowitz weighed in on the Cohen plea deal laying out how it will turn out to be less damaging to President Trump than Democrats want to believe.

According to The Daily Caller:

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said Michael Cohen’s plea deal is “not nearly as deadly” to President Donald Trump as it seems to be, on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

“Remember as Judge Ellis said it, when they squeeze people like Manafort or Cohen, they squeeze them not only to sing but sometimes to compose and it’s very easy to embellish a story,” Dershowitz said Tuesday. 

“All he has to do then is say, ‘And the president directed me to do it.’ That’s the kind of embellishment that people put on a story when they want to avoid dying in prison. When the prosecutor says to them, ‘You have two choices. You’ll die in prison, or you can give me a story that I can use to go and get the president.’”

…

“If somebody else pays the money in order to influence the outcome of the election, it is technically perhaps a violation of the election laws,” he continued. “Every administration violates the election laws. Every candidate violates the election laws when they run for president. Usually, they pay a fine or something like that happens.”

Dershowitz went on to explain that the Dems will want to make this an impeachable offense which he thinks is quite the reach. It will ultimately take way more than this claim by one person to impeach President Trump or any president for that matter.
