Dershowitz: Don't fire Rosenstein, make him testify under oath In a thought-provoking segment, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz strongly advised against President Trump dismissing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Instead, he suggested that the President should compel Rosenstein to testify under oath regarding the allegations and matters surrounding his role in the ongoing investigations. This advice comes in the context of heightened tensions and scrutiny in the political landscape, especially following a recent report that raised questions about Rosenstein's conduct.
Key Points Discussed in the Video
- Dershowitz's Stance: He believes that it would be more beneficial for Trump to allow Rosenstein to clarify any misconceptions and to testify rather than firing him, which could lead to further complications and potential perceptions of guilt.
- Legal Implications: The discussion hinges on the potential legal ramifications that could arise from either action (firing vs. testifying) and what would serve the best interest of the President in the long run.
- Political Context: This advice is not only rooted in legal strategy but also in the broader political ramifications it could have during a time when public perception and voter sentiment are critical.
