Constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Friday that the Jan. 6 committee's public hearing on Thursday night was ''not a fair proceeding'' in that it was ''one-sided'' and ''unethical.''
''Take, for example, President Trump's speech on Jan. 6,'' Dershowitz said on ''Spicer & Co.'' ''He said at the end of the speech he wanted people to show their voices patriotically and peacefully.
''They doctored the tape,'' he continued. ''They edited those words out. If a prosecutor ever did that, they'd be disbarred. You can't present part of the tape and deliberately omit the rest of the tape in order to mislead the audience, especially when the other side has no opportunity to cross-examine, no opportunity to present its own evidence.''

This “committee” is a joke.
There’s a reason for “AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH’.
The rats are liars and cheaters besides standing for insane policies…a plague on the US…
This “committee” is a joke.
Is any shocked?? Anyone? Anyone at all??
Nope. The dems shamelessly edited video in the same manner during the 2nd impeachment hearing.
There is a reason that Pelosi, Biden, and Schumer (and their minions) distort the truth. It’s “Because they can”. Why do they use handcuffs and leg irons for misdemeanors? Why do they lie by omission? Why do they lie? Why do they send SWAT teams to arrest political opponents?
It’s because they not only do they get away with it, they are usually praised for it.
So they left out 18 minutes??
Prof Dershowitz is that rarest of birds...a liberal with a sense of decency...of fairness.It’s my understanding that Jonathan Turley also qualifies for that label.
There’s nothing stopping them, so expect more of it. All of that money donated to Trump to stop the steal is still sitting on the sidelines doing nothing to defend himself or those arrested, which now makes him sort of complicit to it all, in my mind, unfortunately.
BTTT
If that's intended to be testimony under oath, wouldn't what they did be considered perjury.?
A show trial is designed to deflect the blame for those failures to someone else
In this case Donald Trump & MAGA Republicans
A show trial is designed to influence the general populace to dislike and condemn the designated subject(s)
Justifying their destruction
Except that no one is stopping Trump from presenting any evidence he has that the election was stolen, or that the people there were mostly peaceful and setup by the FBI, etc.
He’s not really even lifted a finger to combat any of this, including leaving now-broke Giulliani to defend himself in his disbarment trials. Trump is a shadow of his former self, and should be doing more than a few tweets while our whole movement is being labeled traitors.
However, listen carefully to Jonathan Turley....in my opinion he's a snake in the grass, usually playing both liberal and conservative sides in a subtle manner.
Leni.
As I said, “A show trial is designed to influence the general populace to dislike and condemn the designated subject(s)”
Looks like this one is working on .......some.
Have a good day.
It’s the 14th Amendment right to confront your accuser that is missing in this “trial.”
