Rudy Giuliani Takes in Yankees Game With Lawyer Alan Dershowitz Who Is Against Impeaching Trump

In the midst of President Donald Trump's Ukraine scandal, his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani had no reservations sharing a photo of himself at Yankee Stadium Friday night with a constitutional law scholar who has spoken out against impeaching Trump.

"'Once there was a time' that Democrats & Republicans could debate and respect each other and remain friends," Giuliani tweeted with a picture of himself wearing a Yankees cap standing next to Alan Dershowitz, a former Harvard Law professor and lifelong Democrat.

"Even Red Sox and Yankee fans could bond over their love of Baseball. The Professor may know more about sports than law," Giuliani tweeted. "And he knows constitutional law better than anyone."

Some Twitter users interpreted the outing as inappropriate and suspected they could have talked politics. But Dershowitz told Law & Crime on Saturday that the two lawyers did not converse about Trump's impeachment inquiry at the New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins game.

"We talked baseball," Dershowitz said. "Yankees-Red Sox. Not politics."

The media outlet asked Dershowitz if he talked to Giuliani about how to handle the impeachment inquiry or provided any advice to him, the president or the White House.

"I am not conferring. I love baseball, as does Rudy, who I've known for more than 40 years. We compared rings. My Red Sox and his Yankees World Series rings," Dershowitz responded. "He told me how much he enjoyed a politics-free evening with a fan who knows as much about baseball as he does. I asked him a trivial pursuit question: how can there be four outs in an inning? He loved the answer."

As Democrats called for removing Trump, Dershowitz defended him, saying there were not grounds to impeach the president.

Giuliani admitted to asking Ukraine's president to investigate Joe Biden for corruption, which is the center of Trump's scandal. House Democrats subpoenaed Giuliani for documents linked to his communications with Ukraine and he has until October 15 to provide them. Giuliani called the subpoena "prejudged" by Democrats but said he will give it "appropriate consideration."

Giuliani reportedly may assist in building a case against impeaching Trump.

Dershowitz wrote the 2018 book The Case Against Impeaching Trump. He said that special counsel Robert Mueller should not have been chosen to probe possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians in the 2016 presidential election.
