Liberal lawyer Dershowitz says no Trump crime in Georgia call, just bad media reporting
just the news ^ | January 5, 2021 | John Solomon

"Well, every major media is taking it out of context," Dershowitz said during an interview Monday on the Just the News television show "The Watercooler with David Brody" in which he discussed reports that Trump's comments to Georgia officials amounted to a request to manufacture votes and overturn the election

"He's not saying I want you to create the vote," said Dershowitz. "He's not saying I want you to manufacture or concoct the votes. He's saying, and he's been saying this for months, on Twitter and his statements and his campaign's, he thinks that people voted for him and those votes weren't counted. He's entitled as a citizen, as a candidate, to say, 'I want you to find those votes, I want you to find the votes that will pass for me and what weren't counted, I want you to find votes that were cast against me that shouldn't have been counted — by people who are dead people, who are out of state."

"I've been teaching criminal law for over 50 years," he added. "I went through every word of that transcript, there is no crime there, period."

The corrupt media took the president’s comments out of context? No way. They’d never do that. https://t.co/gFgEP9DsJW— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 5, 2021

This tape of the Trump phone call is amazing. Unless you’re drunk on the Kool Aid, it’s glaringly obvious they just want to cheat. That’s it. Nothing clever. Nothing about patriotism or some higher calling. They’re just trying to cheat.


Dear Jeb Bush And Family. How about a retweet of this John Solomonm article? Stop believing everything the fake news media tells you. Put this in your pipe and smoke it!!!!!!

Calling it bad reporting is sugar coating the so-called “news” media’s corruption.

But they only tweeted fragments of it, carefully edited to make it sound as if Trump wanted the governor to manufacture votes. He was actually just asking him to use his investigative powers to find the votes that mysteriously disappeared from his count, something which everybody agrees actually happened.

But people would never know that from the fragments released.

How is Trump going to cheat with his own party hating his guts and wanting him gone? Impossible.

“People hear whatever they want and act accordingly.”

************************************************************

Not just “hearing” what they want. Much more sinister than that. They twist what Trump says, then lie, playing out of context snippets cleverly implying “proof” of their reporting. All done with evil intent.

Quite the opposite of innocently thinking they heard something scandalous, then reporting what they “believed” was said.

You've gotta give Dershowitz credit...he's a democrat but his loyalty to the Constitution is stronger than his political leanings.

Reminds me of my favorite joke -

Trump goes to the zoo and he is walking by the lion cage when a little girl falls in. The lion approaches the little girl menacingly. Without hesitation, Trump jumps into the cage, punches the lion on the nose, and returns the little girl to her mother. The onlookers cheer.

Headline in the New York Times the following day....

Trump assaults African immigrant and steals his lunch

It is normal for Democrat operatives - needing “x” number of votes to close a gap late on election night - to fan out over the landscape to look for votes in every nook and cranny, sometimes taking days to do so, and eventually finding just a few more than the needed number of votes in a place that had already been checked. Kind of like that Georgia video of the election workers pulling suitcases of votes out from under a table.

Here’s a summary:

Trump: We have found several hundred thousand bogus votes in your state, in a variety of forms, many of which are each of a large enough size to exceed the purported victory margin. We don’t need to beat you up for every last bogus vote, and are willing to drop it once we confirm enough that the main result is corrected.

Counter argument: Your figures are wrong, but I’m not going to show you where, or look where you’ve complained there are issues.

The DC area thinks it is the master of the Country. It masters the news reporting. As pointed out; they actively “prepare” the news and season it for the leftie appetite. They don’t care if you drove 1,000 miles, 5’000 miles. They are in their bubble.
