MSNBC legal analyst mocks Dershowitz's 'collusion isn't a crime' statement: 'He gets paid to say that'

MSNBC legal analyst Cynthia Alksne on Monday mocked frequent Trump defender Alan Dershowitz for claiming that the Mueller report wouldn't name the president in any criminal activity, saying he was paid to make the statement.

Alksne was dismissive after host Katy Tur read Dershowitz's comment that while the political consequences for President Trump would be "devastating", he didn't believe there would be criminal charges because "collusion is not a crime."

"Alan Dershowitz is a defense attorney who is frankly paid to say that," Alksne said. "He's a very smart guy, but I completely disagree with him".

"What's coming down the pike is not only the report but either an indictment which is sealed, which will be unsealed after Trump's no longer president or he will be an unindicted co-conspirator on a speaking indictment," she continued. "I would predict that going forward."
