Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard professor-turned President Trump hype man, broke from his customary Trump-boosting during an interview with NPR on Thursday and struck a more ominous tone: That Trump “should be worried” about the White House counsel’s impending departure.

“I think it has everything to do with the fact that he met with Meuller,” he told NPR. “How can you be representative, or have your White House represented by somebody who might very well turn out to be a crucial witness against you. … Even if McGahn didn’t deliberately incriminate the President, he’s probably filled some gaps, he’s probably provided them with some information immediately.”

“(Trump) should be worried,” he said.

    I heard that interview, If you’re innocent, you don’t have anything to worry about ! Right ?

    It does not occur to Dershowitz that if anyone on the white house staff is a potential witness against the president in a criminal proceeding we’ve got a bigger problem on our hands than whether trump should be worried.

  3. Again, the idea that he isn’t fucking guilty of everything isn’t even worth lying about.

    They haven’t bothered to lie about that for 6 weeks at least.

  5. Low energy! Sad.
