every time I hear about this case in the FakeNewsMSM worldwide, it is said to be the “MOST SERIOUS”.
examples -

veteran BBC reporter, Sarah Smith, doesn’t quote a single “legal expert” who thinks it isn’t the “strongest case”, but
gives plenty of space to a NYT/MSNBC hack (20 years WaPo) who backs her up!

3 Aug: BBC: Donald Trump indictment: Why these charges are most serious ones yet
By Sarah Smith, North America editor
Whether it leads to a conviction is unclear - some legal experts have said this is not the strongest case.

But these charges are, in my view, the most serious and potentially the most consequential that Donald Trump has yet faced. Not least because they relate to things that happened whilst he was still president...

Some US commentators have introduced another reason why they think these charges are the most serious. They see in Mr Trump’s alleged conduct a threat to the ideals that underpin the bedrock of the country.

Not since the nation’s founding has any president “voted out of office been accused of plotting to hold onto power in an elaborate scheme of deception and intimidation that would lead to violence in the halls of Congress,” writes Peter Baker in the New York Times.

He goes on: “As serious as hush money and classified documents may be, this third indictment in four months gets to the heart of the matter, the issue that will define the future of American democracy.”...

taxpayer-funded ABC Australia give all their space to media darling of the left, a Prof from UCLA!

4 Aug: ABC Australia: ANALYSIS: Donald Trump remains defiant, but this indictment over alleged 2020 election interference could be the most serious yet
By North America bureau chief Jade Macmillan in Washington DC
As University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) law professor Richard Hasen put it, this case “directly implicates American democracy”...

This indictment could be the most serious yet.

“Putting aside violent crime, these are probably the most serious political crimes that someone could commit,” Hasen said.

“And if proven, I think it would leave history judging Donald Trump as the person who tried to bring down American democracy. That’s why I think this case is so monumental.”...

The democrat party’s plan is not to convict, just to prosecute. They believe that the punishment is the process itself. This is called lawfare and it is the democrat party’s favorite weapon in this ongoing CWII.

Alan Dershowitz Explains Why He Sees No Smoking Gun In New DOJ Charges Against Trump I hardly think that matters.

LOL Should you ever get involved in a legal issue and Alan is one of the attorneys on the other side you'll change your mind fast.

He's a preeminent constitutional scholar and appellate lawyer. He takes on cases that are not popular but he feels everyone has a right to legal representation. He speaks his mind and he is driving liberals crazy right now.

Garland has NO POWER to lynch any one. All he can do is indict people. Then the case goes to lower court. Defendant has right to appeal. Then the case goes to next higher level court.

It can end up in supreme court where final decision is made.

Probably correct. But Dershowitz is doing more than GOP swamp people. They are all smirking watching Trump being indicted. Trump is their mortal enemy because he wants to kill their golden goose.

Do you for one minute think that Trump is going to get his case dismissed in little technicalities?

That is how our system is supposed to work. "Little technicalities" are supposed to count in our courts. Our laws are supposed to be applied uniformly for popular and hated individuals. Dershowitz and other lawyers with integrity firmly believe this.

If the Dershman keeps defending Trump, he’s going to suddenly find himself on the business end of government action against him.

It's unlikely he would be 'the' guy but possible he will be one of the guys on the team, maybe as an advisor. Or maybe he'll be on the team for the appeal. He's typically an appellate lawyer. He's represented and won many criminal cases on appeal including murder cases. I don't know what his win percentage is now but it's impressive.

Dershowitz is a big liberal, no doubt about it. But he also believes strongly in our Constitution and the integrity of our justice system.

You might find this article about him interesting.

He's a real liberal, unlike the Communists who hijacked the term "liberal" and use it to deceive people as to what they really are.

Even if the case was thrown out - or there was an extremely unlikely acquittal - there’d be another indictment waiting, and another…
