"Yes, it's possible [but] I don't think it's going to happen," Dershowitz said on Newsmax's "Wake Up America," adding that those who believe that an indictment and prosecution would keep Trump from campaigning are "dead wrong."
"He can run for president even if he's indicted, convicted, and wearing striped shirts, prison garb," said Dershowitz. "The Constitution provides only four bases for disqualification for president, and being convicted of a crime is not one of them. Congress can't change the criteria that are in the Constitution for the election of the president."

"That is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard a law professor say, and yet, it's praised because if you want to get Trump, any stupid statement, any violation of the Constitution, it all becomes acceptable," he said.
Dershowitz Tuesday also said he thinks the affidavit used to justify the search of Trump's home should be released, as the former president has asked that it be made public.
