Law professor Alan Dershowitz on Monday argued that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn should never have pleaded guilty in special counsel Robert Muellers Russia investigation because lying to the FBI is not a crime.
During an interview on Fox News, Dershowitz asserted that Flynns lie about speaking to the Russian ambassador regarding removing sanctions was not material to the Russia investigation.
