Alan Dershowitz has written the book on reasons not to impeach President Trump ー and he thinks re-elected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just might follow his counsel.
"I think she is the adult in the room and she'll take my advice," Dershowitz told Cheddar on Thursday.
The retired Harvard Law School professor, a frequent critic of Robert Mueller's Special Counsel investigation, released his updated book, "The Case Against the Democratic House Impeaching Trump" on Wednesday.
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Ca.) said Thursday he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against President Trump on the first day the new Congress convenes, [CNN reported](https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/03/politics/impeachment-house-democrats-brad-sherman-trump/index.html). Sherman was one of three Democrats to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump back in 2017.
Pelosi [said in an interview with NBC on Thursday](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/nancy-pelosi-doesn-t-rule-out-impeaching-trump-n954116) that she was recommending Democrats wait until the results of Mueller's probe, but that she wouldn't rule out impeachment entirely.
“We shouldn't be impeaching for a political reason, and we shouldn't avoid impeachment for a political reason," she told NBC's Today.
Dershowitz argues that nothing revealed so far by the investigation justifies impeachment.
"The Constitution is very clear as to what the criteria for impeachment are: treason, bribery, other high crimes and misdemeanors. And unless you can point me to the statute and show me the crime, there shouldn't be impeachment," Dershowitz said.
Dershowitz said he hasn't seen evidence of a crime yet ー but didn't rule out that it may exist.
"If there were any evidence that Trump had told any of his people to lie to the FBI, that clearly would be obstruction of justice and a crime, and it would also be conspiracy, perhaps," he said. "I haven't seen any evidence of that."
Ultimately, the New York Times best-selling author thinks it's in the best interest of the American people to keep Trump in office.
"I think it will hurt the country if the Democrats vote impeachment," he added.
