Donald Trump seems to be in another world as he continues to yell on Twitter about how innocent he is and how the “fake news” is making something out of nothing in his Russian investigation. But back in reality, the experts are saying something VERY different.
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz, who has occasionally defended the president, issued a startling warning to the Tweeter in Chief about what’s to come in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Dershowitz stated that he thought Mueller’s report would be “devastating” to the president. He said:
I think the report is going to be devastating to the president. And I know that the president’s team is already working on a response to the report,. It will be made public probably with a response alongside. The president will say ‘Ah look it’s political.’”
Stephanopoulos noted that Dershowitz has previously criticized Mueller and said, “For you to say it’s devastating is really something.”
Dershowitz clarified:
When I say devastating I mean it’s going to paint a picture that’s going to be politically very devastating. I still don’t think it’s going to make a criminal case because collusion is not criminal.”
The last thing Trump needs right now is for something politically devastating to happen to him. He’s already got an horrific approval rating that he will never recover from, and was recently rated as the worst President in all of U.S. history by political scientists. It’s hard to imagine that things could possibly get politically worse for Trump, but Dershowitz seems to believe that’s entirely possible. If Trump still believes that he’s up for re-election in 2020, this is definitely going to put a damper on that.
