Harvard legal professor and Trump legal defender Alan Dershowitz made clear that former President Donald Trump is wrong in his baseless and consistent claims that the 2020 general election was stolen. The fact that he made these claims to Fox News host Sean Hannity, in full view of millions of Hannity viewers who likely disagree, is no small thing.
Hannity started the conversation by discussing ongoing audits of elections in key swing states that went for President Joe Biden, arguing that the audits were a healthy exercise for the body politic as people need confidence in the results. This ignores the fact that many people see the audits as a politically motivated effort designed solely to undermine that very confidence, and that the results in Arizona and Pennsylvania had already been certified and vetted and recounted during the end of 2020.
Dershowitz followed Hannity’s intro by making two salient points. “Number one, there’s never been a perfect election,” he said. “JFK’s election wasn’t perfect, George Bush’s election was imperfect and the current election wasn’t perfect.” He then added, “Number two, the evidence seems to strongly suggest that it wasn’t stolen and that the outcome was right.”
Gregg Jarrett then opined with his signature Gregg Jarrett-style analysis, after which Hannity noted: “a lot of these states were very close.” He then hypothetically asked Dershowitz “what if an audit shows that a state would flip, and what would the remedy be, professor?”
“The answer is crystal clear, no one knows,” the Harvard professor replied. “It’s never happened. The supreme court would duck the issue in the way it ducked to the issue in 2000, in the way it ducked the issue in 2020 and 2021.”
And then Dershowitz doused any embers of hope some Hannity viewers might have that Trump could be reinstated as president. “There would not be a reversal of fortune, a reversal of the election. That would not happen, unless we found — unbelievably — it didn’t happen here, massive, massive, deliberate fraud. But it’s just not going to happen.”
“I think we have to look to the future,” he continued. “We have to accept the fact that Joe Biden is the President of the United States, he will be the president of the United States until the next election but we have to make sure that future elections are transparent.”
“It’s a very unhealthy thing in a democracy if 30 million, 50 million people don’t trust the outcome of an election,” he said. The election has to be trusted and for that we need transparency and that is why I’m in favor of audits,” he claimed because he is confident they will show “lack of perfection” and that the election wasn’t stolen.
Stop it. Communists destroy everyone who isn’t a rock-ribbed totalitarian. Labels matter little.
He ended that very quickly because it became clear to him that winning a presidential election as a third-party candidate was impossible. It still is.
The blindman has maintained that right along. He has scales over his eyes. He is almost sane and rational, but not quite
Remember the Lolita Express.
Remember he kept his shorts on.
74,000 ballots counted but never mailed out is not massive fraud?
Dervishowitz is raising the old argument that people with no rock solid code of ethics raise when trapped. That is: Everything is not black or white...there are shades of gray.”
Where that may be true in minor matters, in most matters it is wrong...an escape for the weak minded.
Murder, robbery, fraud and destroying the country are not properly discussed as shades of gray.
He would never be my lawyer.
Fox News won’t allow a discussion about the election being stolen. They are complicit in it. Both guests and hosts are given their marching orders. Any real discussion will result in termination from Fox News.
I was disappointed in Greg Jarrett last night. He needs to remove himself from Fox News if he wants to preserve his creditability.
Always view Dershowitz’s “comments” as filtered through the information held and known (to Trump and several inside “justice” people) about Dershie’s cavorts with little girls on Paedo Island with his pal (and don’t forget his ATTORNEY at one long period of time inclusive of these actions) Jeffery Epstein, his pimp Ghislaine Maxwell still in custody and in legal trial proceedings for human trafficking).Dershie was Epstein’s attorney— has a LOT of testimony in question he’s tried to wriggle out of from the original charges against Epstein. The information is ALL over the internet.
Dershowitz, when Trump was President was singing a DIFFERENT tune— now he is (foolishly) confident he can say all kinds of crap thinking the demonrat machine party (which includes all of his Clintons and their buddies) is in control, thanks to JoeBama. They are not— they are losing their a@@es.
And Hannity is a supreme a@@ kisser to the people that own him at Fox. No sense having dershie on whatsoever. Unless Trump asked him to do so— to continue have Dershie weave his own rope.
Didn’t he ride on the Lolita Express?
lol.. did you just call me a commie?
What do Phoenix, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit and Milwaukee have in common, 5 areas controlled by Democrats for years where cheating has gone on for years, the difference this time is how massive it was, it was so massive that when Trump was so far ahead at one point that all shutdown and realized how many votes they needed to manufacture that made the cheating so massive
Dersh has said a few Conservative things of late and he has to re-establish his leftist creds or he gets banished from mainstream TV = no more paid appearances. Always with the “no evidence” sing-song. There is a kiloton of evidence showing election integrity was attacked from multiple angles, by multiple players, and virtually all of it succeeded. But no leftist will look at it nor acknowledge it exists.
And nobody ever, not once in 9 months since the election, not one person has ever asked “OK, what might be a piece of evidence YOU would consider suggestive of fraud, if not probative.” WTF do they expect, a signed purchase order from the DNC for 178,500 bogus ballots?
>>> winning a presidential election as a third-party candidate was impossible. It still is.
Only because of what we now KNOW about the “Sytem”.
Trump was so far ahead at one point that all shutdown...
They shut down all at the same time. Hmmmm.
Dershowitz is an idiot. It was stolen. Dershowitz wanted to get rid of conservative talk radio in the 1990s, but now he guests all over it. Watch his anti-talk radio speech in 1996 at the Talkers Convention: go to the 50 minute mark.

Dershowitz is embroiled in the Epstein mess and must align with the powers that be or else they will find enough to roast his behind. He said he voted for Biden. He said he is a friend of Billary. Why even have him on? A ventriloquist’s puppet would be less likely to tout the party line on his own than the revered “Dersh”.
“Someone got to him.”
Probably evidence of his trips on the Lolita Express to Epstein’s Island. That’s the first thing that popped up in my mind. I was looking for Hannity’s reaction, he didn’t have any. Dersch is and will always be a little Rat.
See my post re: Dershowitz. Dershowitz is OWNED by his own old pal and all the down line— Jeffrey Epstein..
He just doesn’t want Harvard to fire him.
The machine underestimated Trump in 2016. They didn’t think he could overcome their normal levels of cheating. They vowed never to let it happen again. In 2020 they cheated at a level never seen before. It may turn out to be a Pyrrhic victory.
The Deep State must have reminded Dershowitz prior to going on Hannity that they have lots of very disturbing photographs of Dershowitz doing very disturbing things and they are not afraid to use them.
Yawn...two has-beens on a has-been network.
