Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz told MSNBC Friday that adding former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to President Trump’s legal team won’t cause much turmoil for special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
But apparently it’s sending a lifeline to Trump attorney Michael Cohen.
“I think this does send a powerful message to Michael Cohen,” he told MSNBC. “The message is, ‘Hey, stay strong, we have a really good lawyer in our team, on our team, to focus on the Southern District of New York where your problems are.’ So I think it was a very, very smart move.”

Dershowitz, Giuliani, Trump – these are the kind of people who give gerontocracies a bad name.
Hey Cohen - we have some really good, really old, really past their prime and out of their specialty lawyers – so stay strong.
Cohen’s choice right now is between flipping and getting run over.
Is staying strong really the way to go?
Cohen’s only advantage is that he knows most of the thugs who would do him harm, so he’ll recognize them when they come for him. Small comfort, but it’s the best he’s got.
Again with the lack of “Trump doesn’t have anything to worry about from Cohen, as neither did anything wrong”…
