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.

On point yes, but if he is so outraged every time he complains about how the democrat party abuses the Constitution, then why does he preempt his comments by reminding readers that he is a Democrat and has always, and always will continue to vote Democrat?
What would it take for him to vote otherwise?
Kind of like voicing support to blm while complaining about the trail of destruction left in their wake.
Willis needs to be slapped down hard by the Courts. They used to laugh about indicting a “ham sandwich” but these Soros funded Dem AG’s are the worst of the worst.
He’s not a fan of modern progressives. He’s old and it’s ok if he wants to stay and fight for his party.
The media has so conveniently forgotten how algore disrupted the ‘peaceful transfer of power’ in 2000—he almost caused a civil war over chads and bogus recounts.
In other words, he’s a true liberal, and not a Communist who hijacked the term “liberal”.
All while Al-Qaida was getting their ducks in a row without the same kind of inner struggles.
Good questions. I dunno.... maybe he thinks it gives him more credibility to criticize these phony indictments.
Gore tried to get votes disqualified that were from military service people serving oversees because they arrive a day late. Fortunately, a Democrat judge slapped it down. I’m old enough to remember Gore’s attempt to steal the 2000 election.
but in his own defense he reminds viewers in his interviews that he voted for biden in 2020 and will do so again in 2024.
So in essence he is saying, what the democrats are doing to defend election theft and interference is unconstitutional. And he continues to rant and rave because he is such a defender of the Constitution, BUT will continue to support the offenders to that which he CLAIMMS to defend.
IF he were really a defender of that which he claims to defend, he would follow his comments by stating, “As a defender of the U.S. Constitution, I can no longer support the candidacy of unlawful violators of the Documents I defend. Therfore, beginning in 2024 I will be voting for those who were wronged and I encourage the same for all who hold the Founders Documents in high regard.”
No doubt Algore's election shenanigans made Bin Laden's job easier.
Dershowitz also went on to say:
“And if you’re going after the man running for president against your person, you have to have the strongest case. Otherwise, it becomes a banana republic. Anybody can prosecute anybody. And we’re opening the door to prosecution of Democrats by Republicans, Republicans by Democrats. It’s what Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist is the most dangerous threat to democracy, and we’re seeing it unfold in front of our eyes. Very, very tragically.”
Question is this: Will the Republicans fight back? Or roll over and lose the country?
I suspect the latter.
“These are political actions that the Constitution prefers us to take rather than going out on the streets and rioting.”
The real question is:
Are the Democrats too stupid to realize what will happen if they do make those political actions a crime?
Or do they realize what will happen and they want it to happen?
Now that their crimes have become indefensible, the most effective response is to declare lockdowns. The last time it was declared was following an outbreak of an engineered virus. The next time will be marshal law following an engineered civil war.
We are in the midst of an engineered coup.
Simple put, Trump was following the law on how to contest a fraudulent election. If this lawfare perpetuated by Willis, Smith and others is allowed to stand, then the Republic will fail. There will be no more legal challenges to elections which directly translates to massive future election fraud.
Joe Biden brags about having “the most extensive and inclusive VOTER FRAUD organization” in history.
Democrats have now fully weaponized the justice system.
Under current Georgia law, the Georgia Governor does not have the power to pardon Trump or any of the others who were indicted by the democrat DA unless they are first convicted and five years pass after completion of their sentences.
The Georgia Governor (Brian Kemp) is a Republican and Republicans control both houses of the Georgia General Assembly. It seems to me that they should be looking at changing the law to give the Governor full pardon power, regardless of how they feel about Trump. Otherwise, they can look forward to far left-wing democrat DAs indicting every Republican that they want to get rid of.
