Dershowitz: Trump's lawyers could force Rosenstein to recuse himself from Mueller probe thehill.com/homenews/media…
Dershowitz suggested Saturday that "what [Trump] could do very plausibly is have his lawyers go to court and make a motion to recuse Rosenstein from any involvement in any case involving the president."
"Because he has a conflict of interest," said Dershowitz. "He has two conflicts of interest: First, he wrote the memo ... authorizing the firing of Comey. You can't both investigate obstruction of justice and be part of the obstruction of justice."
"But second, he has a conflict now because the Times reports that his goal is to be 'vindicated,' and the way he can be 'vindicated' is by putting all the blame on President Trump," Dershowitz added in the interview.
"If he's smart, he'll take advantage of this and not fire … any of these people, not [special counsel Robert] Mueller, not Rosenstein, and not [Attorney General Jeff] Sessions," he said, while urging Congress to hold "hearings" about the attempted "palace coup."
"No president ought to have to tolerate someone in their midst who may have attempted to pull off a palace coup," he said.
