ALAN DERSHOWITZ RIPS ACLU's SILENCE ON THE RAID OF TRUMP LAWYER MICHAEL COHEN'S OFFICE

Alan Dershowitz reacted to a federal raid on the office of President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

Dershowitz said it is a "dangerous day today for lawyer-client relations."

He said that federal agents confiscated many items from the office, and predicted that they included confidential documents and files pertaining to attorney-client privilege discussions with Trump.

Dershowitz said that Trump's team, as well as Cohen, have thus far cooperated with the Robert Mueller-led probe into alleged Russian collusion.


"If this were Hillary Clinton [having her lawyer's office raided], the ACLU would be on every TV station in America jumping up and down," he said. "The deafening silence of the ACLU and civil libertarians about the intrusion into the lawyer-client confidentiality is really appalling."

Dershowitz said it is apparent that Mueller is staying within the confines of the Russian collusion case parameters and instead farming out extraneous developments like Stormy Daniels and alleged campaign finance violations to the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Southern District of New York.
Mueller likely obtained penultimate approval for the raid from Acting Southern District U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman in Manhattan - who sent the warrant to a judge for the final say, according to reports.

Berman was appointed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, replacing Acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim, who himself replaced U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara who was fired by Trump.


That's not a "partisan" evaluation, M E M. That's a liberal attorney and professor, one of the most acclaimed legal scholars in the legal profession.

And all this is related to the Russia investigation that the Meuller special investigation (14 of the 17 investigation lawyers are Democrat, 8 of the 17 are donors to the Obama and Hillary campaigns, 3 of the 17 were directly employed in the service of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation).... HOW?

It's a witch hunt. It's an abuse and twisting of the law to grasp at ANY rationalization to impeach and depose Trump. A greater abuse of power than Watergate. Nothing short of an unconstitutional political coup.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
