Law professor Alan Dershowitz, an ardent defender or President Donald Trump, argued on Sunday that former Trump campaign Chairman Paul Manafort’s cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller is bad news for the president.

Dershowitz told NBC host that both Manafort and Trump had waited too long to act. Manafort should have cooperated before he was found guilty and Trump should have pardoned Manafort before the former campaign chairman agreed to cooperate, Dershowitz said.

[Manafort] knowns he gets a better deal if he can help support the narrative of the prosecutor,” he continued. “The deal says that Manafort will cooperate on anything the special counsel asks him about. There are no limits.”

Dershowitz pushed back against Rudy Giuliani’s assertion that Manafort’s cooperation had nothing to do with Trump.

“I understand why Rudy Giuliani wants to put this in the most positive light,” Dershowitz acknowledged. “But this was a very bad day for the Trump administration. It’s very bad because he doesn’t know what Manafort is saying and [Trump] can’t count on Manafort saying things that the special counsel already knows.

“If you don’t know what a cooperator is saying then it’s a bad day for you because you’re vulnerable.”
 
Dershowitz made it very clear to the listeners that Trump is much more at risk now that Manafort has become a trick pony for Mueller.
 
Daffy is making lots of mistakes. His incompetence is showing. He is rash and will do something stupid like too late pardons for all.

Yep. The crimes, charges, and indictments are nothing more than a pattern of Trump behaviors going back decades. Unfortunately for Twittler, this isn't like private enterprise where he can use his money to buy his way out of trouble, or to buy loyalty.
 
It’s bad because Trump doesn’t know what Manafort is saying? I love how this is enough to get you foaming at the mouth.
 
Dersh is not a Trump backer. He just believes the constitution prescribes an imperial presidency, He sees a president who cannot be forced to testify. One who has unlimited powers of pardoning. essentially a president who is above the law. Lots of constitutional scholars argue with him.
