Legal scholar Alan Dershowitz told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Wednesday that if President Donald Trump fired Special Counsel Robert Mueller, it would not be an impeachable offense.
Carlson prompted the response by asking about the oversight of the special counsel.
“So every person who wields power in our society by design has some sort of oversight,” Carlson began. “We can defeat our election representatives in elections, we can recall or impeach or president or judges. The special counsel, we are told, can’t be fired because that itself would be an impeachable offense. So, is there any oversight of any kind of the special counsel?”
Dershowitz replied: “First of all, firing the special counsel would not be impeachable offense, because it wouldn’t be a crime. The president would have authority to do it but it would be politically very damaging to do it.”
He then further explained, “Technically there is oversight over the special counsel” through the attorney general.
However, Dershowitz added, the attorney general is not supposed to “micromanage the work” of the special counsel.
