Dershowitz Explains How Rod Rosenstein Can Be Replaced in Mueller Probe

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz says that Rod Rosenstein should be replaced in the Mueller probe because he is not only overseeing the prosecution of the case, but he is also a central witness. The conflict of interest disqualifies him. An ethics charge can be filed against Rosenstein with the bars that he is a member, or a lawsuit may also be used to challenge him.

Liberal law professor Alan Dershowitz on Saturday criticized Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s continued supervision of the Robert Mueller investigation, citing “conflict of interest” as a reason he should be replaced.

“There is no surprise that this one is taking a long time,” Dershowitz said on “Fox & Friends” on the length of the investigation so far. “What is surprising is that Rod Rosenstein is still supervising it. More and more information is coming out about his conflict of interest. We have now seen stories in the New York Times about how he may have regretted writing a letter and he felt he was used writing a letter.”

“He is a central witness in this entire obstruction of justice if it involves the firing of Comey,” said Dershowitz. “How can he still stay on the case? I wish they would focus much more on that because he is recused. He is disqualified. He ought to be replaced. That will, however, slow the process down even more probably.”
