Dershowitz: Jan. 6 Panel 'Doctored the Tape,' Edited Out Trump's Words
Newsmax ^ | June 10, 2022 | Nicole Wells

Posted on 06/11/2022 3:39:09 AM PDT by McGruff

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.''

There’s a reason for “AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH’.

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.

If they can get away with it they will try to.

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.

''They doctored the tape. You can't present part of the tape and deliberately omit the rest of the tape in order to mislead the audience."

If that's intended to be testimony under oath, wouldn't what they did be considered perjury.?

SHOW TRIAL
Same as show trials in the Soviet Union and other communist countries.
A show trial is designed to deflect from their failure(s).
Inflation
Empty shelves
High fuel prices
Stagnant economy

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

SHOW TRIAL

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.

You're spot on about liberal Democrat, Prof. Dershowitz....he's a decent and fair commentator.

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.

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.”
