Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said Sunday he expects special counsel Robert Mueller's final report will be politically devastating for President Trump, but said he does not believe it will criminally implicate the president.
"I think the report is going to be devastating to the president. And I know that the presidents team is already working on a response to the report," Dershowitz said on ABC's "This Week."
"The critical questions are largely political," he added. "When I say devastating, I mean it's going to paint a picture that's going to be politically very devastating."
Dershowitz argued that Mueller is unlikely to accuse Trump of crime, but will instead lay out the facts of the case. He suggested that the president is more legally vulnerable in matters related to his business.
Dershowitz, who regularly appears on cable television and defends the president, said it remains to be seen whether acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker will make the special counsel's final report public. If he does, it will likely be released in tandem with a defense from the president's legal team, Dershowitz said.
Trump has repeatedly decried the Mueller investigation as a "witch hunt," and claimed that the special counsel and his team have conflicts of interest. He has not elaborated on the latter claim.
The president's legal team last week submitted written answers to some questions from Mueller, but Trump has indicated he is unlikely to sit for an in-person interview with the special counsel.
Mueller's investigation has thus far yielded four guilty pleas from former Trump associates, and he has obtained indictments against more than 20 Russian nationals for their alleged efforts to influence the 2016 election.
Exactly right. How can you not? Even a small mom-and-pop selling on eBay is going to “have dealings with Russians” unless they specifically block them and why should they?
“Witch hunt” often is used in reference to mass hysteria and that is certainly true today.
The ENTIRE supposed purpose of this investigation was to determine if Donald Trump colluded with the Russian Govt to steal an election..so far in 2 years we have NO evidence of that..Mueller would have found it in 5 seconds if there was proof of that..but NO, instead they are going to go after Trump for what, his previous business dealings LOL he’s been a businessman practically his whole life, yeah he’s dealt with A LOT of people, probably some shady people too, that’s life, its called business..so basically Mueller has nothing, figures
We have been renting our guest house in the back to a woman from Russia, I guess we are colluding too LOL
So you’re comparing the Russian GRU hacks with the US legal system granting access to communications under the rulings of a judge. That’s a fascinating and revealing comparison, don’t you think?
I say hell no they won’t.
Freeze WHOSE bank accounts?
Republicans? I’m not one.
Trump voters? Freeze the bank accounts of 63 million legal voters? For what purpose? An immediate depression for the entire country?
You’re nuts.
I see your point but my point is that we can put nothing past them. The Globalists want to crash our economy anyway.
Never met a mugger in my life who would be ballsy enough to shoot someone & not take what he came for.
I think this is basically right. Partisans of both sides will ignore what’s actually in the report, their minds about the situation being already made up.
Why would Hillary send her goons to mug him? There’s no way she or Podesta would feel satisfied with just a mugging.
They prove that Mueller's prize witness has perjured himself, and also that neither Stone, nor Corsi have any culpability.
Mueller's ‘investigation’ has assumed room temperature.
Support Stone's legal defense fund!

>> “You mean when Hillary and the dnc had Seth Rich murdered because he was the one who gave the emails to Wikileaks? <<
Obviously! But their thug screwed up and the doctor had to finish the job.
.
As if Trump does his own taxes.
Let the swooning concern goats retire to their fainting couches.
Muggers and robbers kill people all the time without getting away with any money or goods.
You and police have no idea what the attacker may have gotten just because his wallet was not taken. An apparent attempt was made to get his watch, and a leather watchband doesn’t tear without a good bit of direct violence.
Believe what you want but you have NO evidence this was a hit. The fact nothing was stolen isn’t evidence.
Agree on that. Eff the keebler elf
It’s amazing the stupid stuff people will believe with no evidence. And then move the goal posts to make things fit their fantasy. so now the assassin failed to kill from pont blank range and so a doctor killed Rich and is also in on the conspiracy!
Yeah, that’s believable. Glad that doctor was available and in just the right spot as attending physician and also to hide the killing from the rest of the staff.
Lordy, the only thing missing is shapeshifting aliens.
Complete lunacy. The only thing missing is shapeshifting aliens.
That might be what it takes to spark CWII. People will put up with the BS only for so long until they will take matters into their own hands.
TRUST SESSIONS. we got this. /s
.
There is LEO testimony that Rich was alive when he entered the ER.
If he is dead now, who did it?
His wound was not life threatening.
This is ancient history. You must be glued to CNN.
