Dershowitz: Georgia Indicted Trump for Doing What Democrats Did for Gore in 2000
Breitbart ^ | 08/15/2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Monday that District Attorney Fani Willis had indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 others for a “conspiracy” that was exactly what Democrats did in challenging the 2000 election. The tactics of the Trump team, including claims of fraud, were neither more nor less than what Democrats had done in claiming that the election had been stolen from then-Vice President Al Gore by Republicans pushing for then-Governor George W. Bush. Fox News reported: Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, speaking to Fox News Digital, criticized the pending indictment, calling Trump’s actions “very similar” to that of Al Gore’s legal strategy in the Bush v. Gore case that decided the 2000 presidential election. … “We challenged the election, and we did much of the things that are being done today and people praised us. I wrote a bestselling book called ‘Supreme Injustice. Now they’re making it a crime,” Dershowitz said. … “You cannot start making crimes out of things that the Democrats did — Tilden Hayes, John Kennedy election 2000 election 2016 election, Jamie Raskin gets up and does some of the same things. These are political actions that the Constitution prefers us to take rather than going out on the streets and rioting. We’re supposed to go to court. We’re supposed to go to Congress. You can’t make those things crimes. And you can’t expand the RICO statute to now include political objections,” he said.

Dershowitz is speaking out lately. Hope his kevlar vest is always on firmly. Dems do not allow freedom of speech.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Job one is uncovering the abuses of the constitution that are degrading civil society. Starting with prosecutorial abuses.

Not someday, but now. History will judge us harshly if we don’t. President Trump is just the tip of the spear. Let’s not waste the opportunity.

The Democrats have been challenging every Republican won election since Dick Nixon.
