Alan Derschowitz: Trump Shouldn't Fire Rosenstein. Instead, He Should File a Motion to the DoJ Requiring Rosenstein to Recuse Himself

Interesting.

Derschowitz says that if the DOJ refuses to recuse Rosenstein, then Trump could/should seek a similar order from a judge, but why not start with the DOJ motion first?

"If I were a lawyer for Donald Trump, and I am not, I am just saying what I would say about anybody, I would be making a motion in front of a judge," he explained. "First I'd make it in the Justice Department, to recuse Rosenstein. Then I’d make it in front of a judge. You cannot be a prosecutor and you cannot be a witness in the same case."

Meanwhile, now that the Electronic Communication (EC) that sparked the Trump probe has finally been released to Congress, people can start making judgments about it.

Here's a Republican representative from New York:

Make no mistake...Trump-Russia probe was launched, bc @RealDonaldTrump won GOP nomination for Pres. It's clear why DOJ/FBI didn't want to turn over memo opening the investigation. They didn't come up w/ a sufficient alternative justification to start the probe.

Trump-Russia probe was continued, bc @RealDonaldTrump was about to possibly win Presidency. It's clear why DOJ/FBI didn't want Nunes memo released. They broke rules and misled a FISA court to improperly secure a warrant to spy on a U.S. citizen.

Trump-Russia probe became a Special Counsel probe, bc @RealDonaldTrump won the Presidency...so the FBI Director then illegally leaked classified info to the media to trigger a Special Counsel appointment.

DOJ/FBI shouldn't be opening/continuing/expanding investigations simply for winning election w/out evidence the candidate committed a crime to win the election. To be a tad more candid: This is an insider, dead end hack job still w/out a case for collusion.
