Dershowitz to Newsmax: Neither Trump, Biden Will Be Criminally Prosecuted for Classified Docs
Newsmax ^ | January 12, 2023 | Solange Reyner

Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz predicts neither former President Donald Trump nor President Joe Biden will be criminally prosecuted for having classified documents at personal locations.

"I think in the end these allegations cancel each other out. I don't think anybody's going to be prosecuted and I don't think anybody should be prosecuted," Dershowitz said Thursday during an appearance on Newsmax TV's "Spicer & Co."

"Nobody took things home in order to sell them to the Chinese, probably it was mostly inadvertent, laziness, carelessness, maybe in some instances a desire to have material that they could look to help them write their memoirs."

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday appointed a special counsel to investigate the presence of classified documents stored at Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, and at an office based in Washington, D.C.

Some of the documents were "top secret," the highest level.

Classified records are supposed to be stored in secure locations. Under the Presidential Records Act, White House records are supposed to go to the National Archives when an administration ends. ***

Dershowitz told Newsmax that changes need to be made to "reduce the amount of classification and make it clearer what presidents can and can't do.

"But one thing I guarantee you, I very rarely guarantee predictions, but this one is a 100% certain prediction – unless new evidence emerges neither of these people will be criminally prosecuted. You'll get reports from the special prosecutors, they'll criticize them, perhaps, but there won't be prosecutions."

Neither is about criminal behavior, both are political maneuvers.

I’ll bet there are classified documents in Obama’s houses, Dubya Bush’s ranch and in Clinton’s Chappaqua, too.

They used the unspoken truth about all presidents doing this in a novel way to “get” Donald Trump this summer.

Now it is back-firing.

Of course they will clear Brandon and justifiably so. Brandon just took the documents to have something to read at Wilmington drag queen story hours and for dramatic readings with Hunter’s business associates when they come to visit.

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

I disagree with Dershowitz on this one. I think that given the Biden’s history with China that it is exactly what the Biden’s were doing or trying to do (i.e. sell info to China).

Alternatively, the Biden’s are being blackmailed by their communist partners. I think the same can be said of McConnell and probably Roberts.

Biden is no James Bond like he thinks he is.
