Dershowitz: Cohen Doesn’t Understand The Difference Between Wrong And Illegal

Always ready to set the record straight, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz is poking holes in former Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s claims that the then-candidate illegally instructed him to pay hush money to his alleged paramours for the campaign.

In an exclusive interview with ABC on Friday, Michael Cohen not only told George Stephanopoulos that President Trump instructed him to pay off his mistresses but also knew it was the “wrong” thing to do.

“I knew what I was doing was wrong. I stood up before the world and I accepted the responsibility for my actions,” Cohen told Stephanopoulos. When asked if Trump knew it was wrong as well, Cohen said, “of course.”

On Wednesday, Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for a whole host of crimes, including tax evasion, lying to Congress, and campaign-finance violations.

Speaking with Fox News on Friday, Alan Dershowitz picked apart Cohen’s case, asserting that he does not seem to understand the difference between “wrong” and “illegal.”

“Reasonable people can disagree about whether it’s wrong to pay hush money to somebody to stop them from disclosing alleged improprieties sexually. Reasonable people can say that’s wrong or that’s right,” Dershowitz said. “It’s not illegal.” – READ MORE
