Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz and legal analyst Gregg Jarrett join 'Hannity' to discuss the latest on the impeachment inquiry into President Biden.'
You're now with Reaction Fox News legal analyst Greg Garrett along with Harvard law professor
I don't know if you want to even be called a Harvard law professor anymore Alan Dershowitz
I might say Hannity just introduced me as Alan Dershowitz
I don't want to be associated with that place anymore, but that's up to you. Let me know
I'm a meritus which means I'm a meritus that means formerly of Harvard Law School now on my own
You're on your own
Let's look at the big picture of what Joe Biden is facing here legally and also
Compare it contrast it to what the president is facing this this
Immunity issue and whether it's going to be taken up by the Supreme Court is critical professor. We'll start with you
Well, there's so much hypocrisy going around
They're now trying to impeach Joe Biden based on what he did as vice president now
Remember that in the past the shoe was on the other foot and that is it was the Democrats
Who were saying no, you can't you can impeach you can impeach a president when he's no longer
President the second the second Trump impeachment
So the the big issue in that case is can a person be impeached
For what he did when he was vice president now that he's president
We don't know the answer to that
but the sides have shifted on that now since the target is no longer Donald Trump and the target instead is
Joe Biden, so we'll have to wait and see whether or not that works out
The same thing is true. By the way with the Mayorkas impeachment the the same people who used to say
Oh, you need high crimes and misdemeanors
And and crimes like treason and bribery are now saying no. No, it's okay
If it's an abuse of office, whereas the other side who was saying it used to say
That you can have broad broad criteria like abuse of power and an obstruction of Congress and now saying no, no, no
It has to be specific
So there's so much hypocrisy and that always happens when either side
Weaponizes the criminal justice system and the Constitution and the loser is the American public
You know the interesting part Greg and the professor's right this
Question now whether the Supreme Court will take up the immunity case. This could very well affect Joe Biden
You can't indict a sitting president. Most people agree with that. That has been DOJ policy
However, if in fact Joe Biden as vice president took official actions that benefited his family members
You have said that fits within the bribery statute. That would be the crime of bribery
That would mean when Joe leaves office
He doesn't have
Executive privilege and that immunity from when he was vice president, does he?
Right that that is correct. And you know, look it is a crime
Under the bribery statutes. It's an impeachable offense known as bribery in the Constitution
I'm against the ideas, you know of
Impeaching a
President during an election year. That's election interference in my judgment trying to disenfranchise the voters
They should have the say on this now having said all of that
Conferring using your public office to confer a benefit in exchange for money to yourself or
Your family the money doesn't have to go to you is a crime and it's an impeachable offense
And so, you know, are there grounds for impeachment here?
Absolutely. I think the
impeachment inquiry
Continues to develop really critical evidence of the influence peddling schemes
That Hunter Biden was in charge of but Joe Biden was intimately involved as John Solomon
Just explained they were selling the Biden brand the brand
was access and promises of
Influence from Joe Biden. All right, and the promise egg alone
sustains a criminal charge
Exit question. Yes or no answer. I don't have the time. Will the Supreme Court take up the immunity issue? I believe they should
professor I
Believe they should and I believe they won't until after there is if there is a conviction
I think they'll punt on that one. I think they will take up some of these other issues, however
Great yes or no
They should now but they won't now but they will take it up later in the event of a conviction
That's right. You are both correct. I agree with both of you. All right, you get an a-plus professor good for you
