Dershowitz : Mueller Is 'Very Zealous'
Alan Dershowitz
On Tuesdayâs broadcast of the Fox News Channelâs âAmericaâs Newsroom â Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz stated Special Counsel Robert Mueller is âvery zealous.â He later added that Mueller wonât be content until he gets to President Trump or those âvery closeâ to him and this is the danger of special prosecutors.
 Dershowitz  said that both parties are guilty of arguing that everything they disagree with is criminal and this behavior started with Republicans during the campaign with Hillary Clinton and then continued by Democrats.
 Dershowitz  then recalled  his  experience with Mueller.  He  stated that  he  talked to Mueller about prosecutorial and FBI misconduct and Mueller stated âItâs a non-starter to talk to me about FBI misconduct or prosecutorial misconduct. Itâs a non-starter.  He  doesnât want to hear about that.  He  is in the business of protecting the FBI  protecting prosecutors  at all costs. I donât suggest  he âs unethical  but  he âs very zealous.â
 He  added that this makes Mueller âeffective at  his  job  but the job of a prosecutor is to do justice  not to get as many notches on his belt as possible.â
 Dershowitz  further stated Mueller is ânot going to be satisfied until  he  gets to the president  or people very close to  him . Thatâs the danger of a special prosecutor.â
 Dershowitz  also stated the tactic of finding someone to prosecute in order to get them to talk is âdangerousâ because people will âcomposeâ and make things up to get a better deal.  He  continued  âLook  if an ordinary person walked over to somebody and said  âUnless you give up your rights  Iâm going to have you criminally prosecuted â weâd call that extortion. But itâs allowed by prosecutors. And Iâve been railing against this for 53 years. now  Republicans agree with me. â¦ Which side are you on has become so important.â
