Dershowitz: Criminal Cases Against Trump Are ‘Among the Weakest, Flawed Cases I’ve Ever Seen’

‘This is really election interference’

EXCERPT:

DERSHOWITZ: “In 60 years of practicing criminal law, I have always said, if you’re going after somebody like this, who is running for president and half of the country supports him, you better have the strongest, the most airtight case imaginable if you are going to try to interfere with an election, try to tell people that they should not vote for a candidate of their choice. You better have a slam-dunk case. And these four cases that have been generated against him are among the weakest and most flawed cases I have ever seen. The New York case, which is going to be the first one tried, is laughable. It is not a felony. It is not a misdemeanor. It’s not a federal case. It’s not a state case. It is a completely made-up case. And now we have a case in Georgia, which is falling apart. The only criminal case that should exist in Georgia is whether or not Fani Willis and her boyfriend should be indicted for perjury for lying to the court and lying in affidavits about the nature and the starting time of their romantic relationship. And as far as the case involving the classified material, my God, the classified materials case is the same case that the special prosecutor refused to bring against the president of the United States. You can’t have a double standard. You can’t have classification cases brought against one person running, who is the incumbent, and the other person who is running, who is not the incumbent. You have to have a single standard and we do not have a single standard. I think all of the four cases, every single one of the four cases, is deeply flawed, but they are designed to influence the election. The purpose is to get down-and-dirty convictions, like the one in New York — New York, they will convict a ham sandwich if its name is Trump — and then it’ll be reversed on appeal, but that’ll be too late. It will be after the election. This is really election interference.”
