Here's an interesting statement by Dershowitz made last December

“I believe the following,” he told The Post. “A president can be charged with obstruction of justice if he does anything unlawful outside the exercise” of his constitutional power as set out in Article II of the Constitution — if he pays hush money, for example, or destroys evidence. “That’s obstruction of justice.”

So--if the evidence unearthed when the FBI raided Michael Cohen's offices reveals that Trump paid the $130,000 to Stormy, then will Dershowitz reverse himself and declare on Fox News that Trump should be impeached?
