Constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax Wednesday that the photo of classified materials at Mar-a-Lago that the Department of Justice attached to a 36-page motion it filed late Tuesday night shows it is selectively editing what it releases to the public.
"It proves one thing: that they're cherry-picking what they release," Dershowitz said during an appearance on Newsmax's "The Record With Greta Van Susteren." "This is classified material, and they're putting it out and giving it to our enemies because they want to — because they can. On the other hand, they redact other material."
"They know that The New York Times and CNN are going to show the picture without comment," the retired law professor continued. "Thank God for you, Greta. You at least have the willingness to say it may have been staged, maybe the Justice Department lawyers put it out there to be photographed."
FBI agents raided former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate Mar-a-Lago Aug. 8 searching for boxes of classified documents he allegedly took with him when he left office. The 45th president has claimed that he declassified the materials the FBI recovered while he was still in Washington.
Discussing the legal filing photo, Dershowitz said, "You have to look at everything the government and the Justice Department does critically.
"The government uses classification and sealing to serve its own ends," he said. "They redact selectively. That's been my experience for 55 years. Nothing has changed.
"Do not trust the government to guard itself," he continued. "'Who will guard the guardians?' is an old Roman statement, and it's just as true of the Justice Department today as it was in ancient Rome."

Who
would
have
guessed
???????
The US government is illegitimate.
I would say more precisely that the US government when run by democrats is illegitimate.
So, we agree that at this point in time, it's illegitimate.
This has to be a setup. Look at the ‘EVIDENCE MARKER. 2A “ IN the bottom right of the picture!!!
Why would Trump trash his files and then put a 2A marker in the pic.
Am I missing something????
Have you ever seen a FBI or drug cache photo where every gun, every drug bundle every stack of dollars were not exactly lined up like a military parade? And now this coming from President Trumps office looks like a teenagers room.
The department of inquisition is getting sloppier by the day if they had anything they would have released it with out the bogus warrant and sniffing panties.
“The US government is illegitimate.”
The FBI goons’ going into a woman’s underwear drawer, displayed actions that go beyond the pale.
Actually, those goons should be dunked in a big pail of shit!
No justice since Obama appointed Holder, AG.
We are so screwed. Hopefully we get a special master at a minimum.
