“I have some bad news for you guys,” renowned liberal Attorney Alan Dershowitz is telling leftist prosecutors, juries and politicians who want to indict and convict former President Donald Trump on false charges, in order to keep him from running in 2024.
“The purpose behind this prosecution is to stop him from running for president and stop him from becoming president,” Dershowitz explains in Monday’s episode of “The Dershow,” examining liberal Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s determination to indict and convict Trump.
The Harvard Law professor emeritus says he has “some bad news” for D.A. Bragg, and those like him who want to unjustly use the law as a political weapon against Trump:
“I think you’re enhancing his chances of running for president and getting the nomination and, perhaps, even winning. I don’t think it’s going to hurt his chances of becoming elected.”
What’s more, D.A. Bragg’s abuse of the law to serve his political agenda is turning America into a banana republic, Dershowitz warns:
“But, boy, I have to tell you:
“When you start indicting people who are running for president – forget about the past – people who are trying to unseat the incumbent president, you’re entering Banana Republic Land.
“That’s what they do in banana republics in some parts of South America, where one of the dictators said, ‘For my friends, everything. For my enemies: the law!’ That’s what they’re doing. They’re trying to use the law to prevent Donald Trump from successfully running for president.”
Dershowitz has even more “bad news” for D.A. Bragg and his political cohorts: even if they succeed in sending Trump to jai, he’ll still have the Constitutional right to run for president:
“Well, I have some bad news for you guys:
“He can run for president if he’s indicted, if he’s convicted, if he’s sentenced – and if he’s in prison!”
Trump meets all of the Constitution’s requirements for being president, Dershowitz says: he’s at least 35 years old, he didn’t fight for the South in the Civil War, he’s lived in America for at least 14 years, and he was born in the U.S.
D.A. Bragg is “changing real felonies into misdemeanors, when it comes to predatory crime, and then he’s changing misdemeanors into felonies when it comes to ‘Get Trump,’ Dershowitz says, warning that Bragg’s unlawful attempt to jail his political opponent “will become the newest way of trying to win an election” in America:
“It will hurt the rule of law. It will hurt precedent. It will mean that every time somebody is running for election, whether it’s for D.A. or for president, his opponent, if they’re the incumbent, will find crimes against him. It will become the newest way of trying to win an election.
“It will divide the country even more. And, the last thing we need is a more divided country.”
