    Lying to the FBI is only a crime if the lie was “material”. If the FBI already knew the answer to the question— if they have tapes— and ask it only to elicit a lie, should that lie be deemed material?

        Lying to the FBI isn't a crime becuz tribal "if you can do it we can, too"? How pathetically childish of you.

        Your analysis is speculative and opportunistic, just like all the others. You know full well the integrity of Mueller’s work and approach. Move on.

        Professor, you know perfectly well that courts have repeatedly answered this question, even if we may think they got it wrong. Why are you promoting ignorance about the law?

        Like many of Dershowitz's recent statements, this appears to be a deliberate effort to mislead the public.

        This scumbag is looking for protection from Trump on his teen sex scandal. He can not be trusted to speak legitimately ever again.

        Here’s another hypothetical, Mr. Dershowitz: If a highly respected legal scholar is implicated in a child sex scandal & then suddenly starts spouting intellectually dishonest arguments that benefit people who might be able to blackmail him, should his rhetoric be taken seriously?
