Law Prof Alan Dershowitz on the Alaska Sullivan Scandal: ‘It Crosses the Line to a Crime’ (VIDEO)

Famed Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz offered his thoughts about the Dan Sullivan scandal in Alaska during a recent appearance on Newsmax.

Host Greta Van Susteren asks if this was nothing more than a dirty trick, but Dershowitz says it crosses the line to a crime and even cites a court decision to back up his opinion.

According to him, this falls into the category of conspiracy and a civil rights violation.

More details from Mediaite via Yahoo News:

Alan Dershowitz warned that an alleged Democratic scheme to confuse voters in Alaska’s closely watched Senate race could amount to a federal felony, insisting the suspected conspiracy is already complete regardless of whether it changes the election result.

Appearing on Newsmax’s The Record with Greta Van Susteren on Thursday, Dershowitz backed the Justice Department’s escalating investigation into allegations that Democratic operatives recruited a candidate with the same name as Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) to split his vote.

“I think it crosses the line to crime,” Dershowitz said when asked by host Greta Van Susteren whether the alleged operation was merely a “dirty” political trick or a violation of the law.

He continued: “There is a second circuit opinion that basically says if you get a conspiracy – and here there’s clearly a conspiracy, you had all these Democratic operatives working together, a conspiracy to deny people their civil rights or to defraud voters and mislead them into voting for the wrong person – that could rise to the level of a felony, a five year felony.”

Will anyone go to prison over this?

They certainly should. People need to be held accountable.
