Alan Dershowitz said there was currently enough evidence to indict former president Trump based on his reading of the highly redacted FBI affidavit.

“Any grand jury in DC would indict Trump on the evidence that he had classified material in violation of various statutes,” Dershowitz, 83, told The Post by phone Saturday — but cautioned the Department of Justice from pursing the case.

The Harvard law professor cited the failure of the probe to meet what he called the Nixon and Clinton tests, the former being the need to establish broad bipartisan support, and the latter being a demonstration that Trump’s conduct is materially worse than Hillary Clinton’s own past mishandling of classified information.
 
“I don’t think they will find anything to indict him for,” Mr. Dershowitz said. “I certainly hope he doesn’t get indicted. That’s what banana republics do. They indict their presidents after the presidents lose an election. So let the president go on, let him finish his term.”

Mr. Trump is set to be succeeded by President-elect Joseph R. Biden on Jan. 20, at which point he will no longer be protected by precedent barring a sitting president from facing federal prosecution.

Alan Dershowitz seems to have taken a 180 degree turn, when it comes to Trump.
