BREAKING: Mueller Busted In Nasty Plot, This Is Urgent.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been raising eyebrows since he began his investigation
into Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 election.
Many have been concerned that he would exceed his mandate and look into matters unrelated
to Russia.
According to Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, Mueller is doing exactly what many have feared.
In an appearance on Outnumbered Overtime on Fox News, Dershowitz, a lifelong Democrat,
stated that Mueller is "going well beyond his authority as a prosecutor."
According to Dershowitz, Mueller is treating President Donald Trump's constitutional
actions as if they were crimes.
This is part of his attempts to determine whether or not President Trump obstructed
Justice.
The Special Counsel recently requested documents regarding the firing of former-FBI Director
James Comey from the Justice Department.
He is also looking into Attorney General Jeff Sessions' recusal from the Russia investigation.
Mueller plans to interview a number of White House officials.
Dershowitz repeated his assertion that the constitution gives the president the authority
to fire the FBI Director.
"The President is entitled to fire the head of the FBI," he said.
"The president is entitled to direct his attorney general who to investigate, who not
to."
The law professor also stated that presidents have possessed this authority for hundreds
of years.
"That's what the law has been since Thomas Jefferson," Dershowitz said.
He argued that if this is to be changed, it must be done through legislation.
"I don't see that the prosecutor should have a right to turn a constitutionally protected
act of the president into a crime by speculating on what his motive might have been," he
said, adding, "These are political sins if they are sins at all.
They are not crimes."
Dershowitz believes that Mueller is going to try to find evidence of wrongdoing through
one of Mr. Trump's associates.
He stated that the Special Counsel would indict people with knowledge of the Trump campaign
and pressure those people into disclosing potentially damaging information about the
President.
If Dershowitz is right, Mueller is playing a dangerous game.
The law professor stated that when people are targeted in this way, they may make exaggerated
claims to get a better plea deal.
He says this happens because these individuals know that "the better the evidence, the
sweeter the deal."
Dershowitz also argued that there is no reason to investigate either President Trump or Hillary
Clinton, but he does believe that a bipartisan commission should look into Russia's influence
on elections.
Traditionally, Special Counsels have taken great latitude in their investigations of
specific issues.
Has Special Counsel Mueller's investigation gone outside his authority?
Is Robert Mueller Over-Stepping His Authority?
If Mueller is going beyond the scope of his mandate, it could cause problems for the Trump
administration.
As seen previously, special counsels tend to investigate matters for which they were
not appointed, and it could lead to serious issues.
Many have expressed their concerns that Mueller's investigation is designed to damage the President,
not discover more information about Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.
If Mueller's investigation is politically motivated, it may not only cause problems
for President Trump, but also for the Special Counsel himself.
As time goes on, Mueller's actions show that this probe could be nothing more than
the witch hunt many already believe it to be.
This could mean that the results of the investigation might be questioned by the GOP as well as
others.
Either way, that knowledge is unknown until the Special Counsel concludes his investigation.
