According to Alan Dershowitz, the Justice Department has “enough evidence to charge Trump,” but will refrain from doing so since her handling of State Department emails pales in comparison.
The former attorney for President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein based his assertion on what is referred to as the “Nixon-Clinton standards.”
He said that the Justice Department won’t charge the former president because the case must be “more severe than Clinton’s case,” who was not criminally prosecuted, and must be “so overwhelmingly strong that even Republicans support it,” as was the case with Nixon.
On Hannity, he said, “There is enough evidence here to charge Trump, but Trump will not be indicted, in my opinion.” But in my opinion, Trump won’t be charged because the evidence doesn’t meet what I refer to as the Nixon-Clinton criteria.
Dershowitz, 83, who defended Trump in his first impeachment trial, said that US magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart made the correct decision in approving the search warrant for Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
He said that Reinhart made the proper decision in signing the search warrant. Based on this affidavit, “every single judge and magistrate would have found probable cause.”
Other judges “may have reduced the search,” he said, but insisted that he had “absolutely no question” that there had been probable cause.
