Alan Dershowitz called out the "double standard" he's seeing from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler and other Democrats in advance of the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report.



Monday on FNC's "America's Newsroom" Monday, Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law professor emeritus, talked about how Rep. Jerry Nadler and other Democrats were furious with then-FBI Director James Comey when he cleared Hillary Clinton of criminal wrongdoing in her handling of classified information but are now angry with Special Counsel Robert Mueller for similarly clearing President Trump.





"People like Nadler and others went after him, saying, 'That's not the role of the prosecutor. The role of the prosecutor is to say indict or not indict,'" Dershowitz said. "You don't start expressing opinions about the bad things people did about which there wasn't probable cause or proof beyond a reasonable doubt."



"The double standard is unbelievable," he added. "Now, we want to hear everything about everybody who was in the report, even though they haven't been indicted. Where does that double standard couple from?"



Host Bill Hemmer responded, "That's Washington, D.C."



Dershowitz agreed and predicted that lawmakers will get access to a version of the Mueller report with minimal redactions, with just grand jury material and other highly classified information removed.
