Dershowitz to Newsmax: Trump Needs to Fire His Lawyers
Newsmax ^ | Mark Swanson

Posted on 05/30/2024 7:18:09 PM PDT by joesbucks

“I'm going to predict that the first thing Trump does is fire his lawyers, which he should have done before the trial rather than after the trial," Dershowitz said on "The Record With Greta Van Susteren."

His lawyers did not do a good job. And what worries me, as an appellate lawyer, is that they didn't do a good job preserving the record for appeal. They focused exclusively on the trial, which is what many trial lawyers erroneously do," Dershowitz said. "But you can't win an appeal if the lawyers below didn't create a record for appeal. And they didn't do that here, particularly the missing witness, the issue of, the failure to allow the expert witness to testify."

He's been flying under the radar till fairly recently.

"Trump has had a fair trial" - what a load of cowplop.

He has the same opinion as Nicolle Wallace and Joy Behar-har.

Oh please you could have dug up Johnnie Cochran and he wouldn’t have been able to win this case it was decided a long time ago

Exactly

The American judicial system poured a can of gasoline over its head today, and set itself on fire.

Dershowitz is trying to mitigate the damage.

What is important now, whether he keeps his attorneys or hires new ones, is that he picks winners.

Given the stalinist state NY has turned into, what attorney is going to risk his license defending Trump on appeal? He won't be able to get a top firm because they will lose business and their own business practices will be put under a microscope.

This is the same dope who was claiming yesterday that the judge was going to replace a holdout juror.

There's no evidence that there even WAS a holdout juror.

He should just shut up, he’s been wrong about everything in every way . Just another podcast talking head in it for the buck

When OJ hired him, he seemed to just be along for the ride. He may have just been paid so that he wouldn't be a talking head for the other side.

LOL, maybe Trump's lawyers should have used The Chewbacca Defense.

And to keep the Epstein files Trump has on Dershowitz out of publication. This is the truth for this Democrat who was on the OJ defense team— we should remember.

Didn’t matter how good or bad Trump’s lawyers were. The trial was rigged by the corrupt judge and biased jury from the get go.

And the actions of the Colombian and the hired gun Prosecutor ARE documentation for Appeal. The disallowing of the FEC Head Bradley is a matter of the Court Record of the Trial. People do not remember this— apparently Dershowitz. The FEC former Head removed the “predicate crime” which was Federal in the first place and not prosecuted in that arena in the 2nd place.

Dershowitz is full of it.

Trump's lawyers did a very good job working in a highly unfair forum with a cheery picked corrupt Judge who was in the tank with a conspiracy to rail road Trump.

The jury was either similarly in the tank to convict Trump or they were so biased that they were going to convict Trump no matter what.

The two lawyers would never work again in NYC if there was hung jury and the rest of the jurors would be ostracized if they held out on a conviction.

Most have dreams of lucrative book deals recounting how they got Trump and they may have been noticed of potential book deals before the trial even started.

Conviction was a foregone conclusion before the trial even started. Any false hope that there might be a hung jury was due to the insane trial and the fact that any normal person could not in their wildest dream believe any self respecting juror would convict on the case the prosecution presented.

As it is, this trial is and always has been a bad joke and a side show to the more serious litigation in the SCOTUS and in the Florida trial. The Bragg Case pretty much validates all the concerns about potential political prosecutions by political enemies raised with and by SCOTUS and I think it is safe to speculate that this fact was not lost on Trump's lawyers. .

Allan is a joke like Woody Allen. The primary force in his soul is to be with his tribe in Martha’s Vineyard. The rest is just fun time and footnotes.

Who knows. But it is true, that issues must be preserved for appeal. On appeal, the lawyer has to do much more than show the judge/jury got it wrong. They must show not only legal error, but also that timely objections were made.

“they didn’t do a good job preserving the record for appeal”

Good question, with whom should they be replaced? Isn’t there enough recording from court reporters to put forth as much evidence as you need?

It’s not like this case wasn’t meticulously reported on by all sorts of news outlets whose correspondents were in the courtroom.

Plus official courtroom transcripts.

Lawyers didn’t matter. The outcome was predetermined.

[[”Trump has had a fair trial”]]

Liars lyign about liars- and the liars and their supporters all know that we know that they are lying- but they don’t give a crap anymore because they wield all the power- corrupt as it is!

The Wheels of justice grind slow, but exceedingly fine- the corruption of the left will be exposed and slapped down because pride goeth before a fall- and the left are all full of pride today because a corrupt judge and jury falsely convicted a man
