Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz Friday described reports that Jared Kushner discussed a secret communications network with Russia as "another example of a political bombshell that doesn't rise to the level of criminal conduct."

He said that special prosecutor Robert Mueller, who is conducting the FBI's Moscow probe, "is supposed to be investigating only criminal conduct.

"They're not supposed to be investigating evildoing or bad acts or things that would incline you not to vote for [President Donald] Trump's re-election," Dershowitz told Wolf Blitzer on CNN.

"They're supposed to look for evidence of criminal conduct and violation of federal criminal statutes."

The Washington Post disclosed that Kushner, Trump's son-in-law who is now a senior White House adviser, suggested the back-channel network in a December meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak.

The report said that the Russian told his supervisors of the suggestion in Moscow – and the network would have used Kremlin diplomatic operations to circumvent U.S. monitoring.

The White House declined to respond to the report.

Kushner's attorney, Jamie Gorelick, said Thursday that her client would cooperate with any scrutiny of his Russia contacts.

"This is another example of very important information the public has the right to know but not necessarily information that will lead to a criminal investigation, criminal indictment, or criminal prosecution," Dershowitz said.

He pressed his case for an independent commission to examine any possible contacts between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

"It's very dangerous to have reports to conduct fishing expeditions or giving them general commissions to see if they can find crimes," Dershowitz told Blitzer. "This is very appropriately done more by a Congress, if they want to change the law, or by an independent commission.

"That way, the public sees everything, we learn the answers, everything is done in public, the witnesses have lawyers.

"The investigation being conducted now is being conducted in secret, behind closed doors, in front of a grand jury – where the witnesses don't have lawyers.

"We'll probably never end up finding out the truth."

Good luck selling that one Comrade Wipz.  Who knows, maybe there was nothing criminal at all.  But you can damn sure bet that It is going to be scrutinized very, very closely and if there is even a small mole on his ass the Chump Crime Family is going down.  Just curious as to what you think the chances are that this is an innocent nothing?

Ted Kennedy needs to be tried in Absentia..

Feel free to do that Dimboy.  But I don't think that will save the Chump Crime Family.

[Jim]

 
No, that would be CNN and MSNBC.

[Truman62]

In your dreams, Jim.

Why do you want a dictatorship Jim? 
Why do you HATE America that much?

Dimboy and the rest of the Benedicts are willing to turn America into a Soviet satellite if they can achieve their agenda to Make America White Again.

 

[Truman62]

Dah, kill off the minorities, but end up speaking Russian...

[gwboolean]

If nothing but whites are left then being Soviet is just fine with the TrEA$on/NSSA Benedicts.

Why do you HATE America that much?
 
Why did you hate America so much that you voted for someone who hated America so much he decided he needed to "Fundamentally Change" it?  Please don't try to insist you had no idea what the words "Fundamentally Change" actually meant.  You don't Fundamentally Change something you claim to love.

I assume you are referring to Hillary Clinton.  Yes I did vote for her.  She is a good patriotic American who has spent her whole adult life working to make America better.  You can play all the semantic games with Fundamental change you want, but that doesn't alter the fact that she is a patriotic America who has always worked for the good of America and Americans.  By the way, if you really want to discuss fundamental change, I would be happy to do so.  If you knew anything about fundamental change, and what it means, you would know that everything, no matter how good, can be improved and always requires fundamental change.

So don't try to use word parsing and semantic games to explain and excuse your agenda.
