But that doesn’t make Dershowitz’s commentary any less valuable, and he dropped some truth bombs on us this week with a stunning op-ed in The Hill about the outrageous FBI operation that took place in New York on Monday.
“Justice Department officials must be careful to limit the searching of lawyers’ offices to compelling cases involving serious crimes,” Dershowitz argues. “We don’t know at this point what the prosecutors are looking for but, if it relates to payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels, that would not seem to justify so potentially intrusive a search of Cohen’s confidential lawyer-client files.”
After noting that there are exceptions to attorney-client privilege, Dershowitz said there was ample reason to believe that the raid of Michael Cohen’s office and home did not rise to the level of those exceptions. He said that this brought forth a circumstance that should concern everyone – not just those who support President Trump.
“I believe we would have been hearing more from civil libertarians — the American Civil Liberties Union, attorney groups and privacy advocates — if the raid had been on Hillary Clinton’s lawyer,” he argues. “Many civil libertarians have remained silent about potential violations of President Trump’s rights because they strongly disapprove of him and his policies. That is a serious mistake because these violations establish precedents that lie around like loaded guns capable of being aimed at other targets.”
As Dershowitz makes clear, when we stand aside and allow law enforcement officials to get away with illegal activity because we don’t like their target, we set a precedent that could one day be used against someone we do. Including, he warns, ourselves.
But Democrats, including those that run the ACLU, are too busy celebrating every move Mueller makes against Trump to see the damage this investigation is doing to our justice system, our civil liberties, and our very democracy.
