Alan Dershowitz, the attorney who represented Al Gore when he objected to Florida’s presidential vote in 2000, has slammed the prosecution against former president Donald Trump as a politically motivated witch hunt.
According to Derswhowitz, “Al Gore, his legal team and I tried to find uncounted presidential votes, lobbied officials and fought in the courts in 2000. The only difference now? The candidate’s name is Donald Trump… That’s why this prosecution is an outrage.“
“Electoral challenges have long been part of American history,” Dershowitz continued in the Daily Mail. “Only now are they being criminalized.”

“I was one of the lawyers involved in objections to Florida’s presidential vote in 2000. A margin of less than 600 ballots determined that Governor George W. Bush rather than Vice President Al Gore won the state and, thus, the electoral college vote.
“I was convinced then and I am convinced now that this result was wrong. No one was indicted, disbarred, disciplined or even much criticized for those efforts, yet here we stand today.
“President Donald Trump and 18 other defendants has been charged with election fraud, conspiracy, racketeering and more, under a law designed to take down criminal organizations, known as the RICO Act.
“Should Al Gore have been charged in 2000? What about me?”
“Now, Trump and his attorney Rudy Giuliani, along with others, are accused of conspiracy to commit forgery and false statements for drafting their list of alternate electors.
“In 2000, Florida state officials were lobbied to secure recounts in selected counties in which we thought the tally would favor us. We were trying to find at least 600 votes that would change the result.
“This new indictment features Trump’s phone call with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, which was captured in an audio recording. In the conversation, Trump asks Raffensperger to ‘find’ 12,000 votes.
“In my mind, this call is among the most exculpatory pieces of evidence. Trump was entitled as a candidate to ask a Georgia state official to locate votes that he believes were not counted.”
“In my mind, this call is among the most exculpatory pieces of evidence. Trump was entitled as a candidate to ask a Georgia state official to locate votes that he believes were not counted.
“In 2000, attempts were made to influence various Florida officials to recount the votes.
“Now, the former president’s request that Georgia’s Republican Speaker of the House reconsider the count is being charged as soliciting a public official to violate his oath.
“But if similar behavior was legal in 2000, how could it be illegal in 2023?”
“In the end, all those efforts in Florida failed when the Supreme Court in a five-to-four vote ordered the recounts stopped thereby turning the election over to President George W. Bush.
“I wrote a book entitled Supreme Injustice, condemning the Supreme Court’s decision and insisting that the election had been stolen from Gore and improperly handed to the candidate who received fewer votes.
“The book was a bestseller, featured in front page reviews in the New York Times and other major publications. Most Americans thought that those challenging the Florida vote had acted in good faith, even though the courts ruled against them.
“What’s different today is that many observers do not believe that Trump and his advisors were sincere when they declared that he had won the election. But that doesn’t make what they did a crime.
“The Georgia indictment hinges on the allegation that Trump was lying in order to corruptly prevent the inauguration of the candidate who won the election fair and square.
“Conspiracy and RICO violations are specific ‘intent’ crimes. In order to secure a conviction, prosecutors must prove a personalized agreement to join a criminal activity.
“That will be an incredibly difficult case to make, especially regarding Trump himself who — to my knowledge – has never wavered from his belief that the election was stolen.”
Yep, the truth hurts. It won’t end well for these corrupt cabal flunkies trying to keep PDJT from winning again as prez & for trying to convict him on false charges.
Theatre.
The first point is that the election results were contentious and heaps of people wrote affidavits to say so . Certain states I think overturned election results ,but I can’t recall which ones .
Claims were lodged in multiple states .Point being no one does that unless they believe the election results were questionable. So that’s clear and therefore its not guilty .There was no racketeering or corruption by Trumps team in seeking the truth
Now the little witch in Georgia s DAs office is guilty of criminal conduct and demonstrably by her releasing the indictments before the grand Jury had supposedly finished deciding the matter That’s contempt of due process.
Second 180 unarmed citizens does not constitute a credible insurrection of the most powerful military nation on earth. Simple common sense
The allegation that it is in fact is an offence against the Bill of Rights and possibly a
Criminal conspiratorial act to pervert the First Amendment. As is Violating the Confidences of the Grand Jury by pressing send instead of save . Unintentional but still prosecutanle .as contempt of the criminal courts in her capacity as Officer of the Court At the least she needs to be removed as incompetent and unfit for office. Which justbtakes 9ne look to know she’s been put there not only her bring the most competent person for the job but on biased prejudiced discriminations and favour from corrupted actors .
Bottom line her messing up means the Entire Set of Indictements are Dismissable.
That’s all the hoohah, anyway ,but signs and symbols rule Now, ifvyounknow, pearls are for tears and the DA s wearing a 3string row .
That tells me it’s all a show .Like a 3 ring circus.
What’s the intentions of the Producers, the ring master?
I’ve researched some more legal precedents and delved into racketeering and organised crime. That’s the curiosity. Fundamentally every government that I know of is guilty of RICO beyond any reasonable doubt .Further all of the “well respected members “of any community are also .That’s something they would never like to admit or accept They justify themselves by the old fight fire with fire storyline , which of course is a convenient corruption .
Anyway it seems to to me to be that they want the public globally to all feel the same way about their governments and their well respected member’s of community Therefore removing them, confiscating their wealth, and silencing them permanently so that elections are no longer needed The l7cky public are free from the corruptions that are their governments and have been saved by powerful individuals who now will govern them so that they are happy . Like popular Constitutional monarchiesempoweting their selected government’s maybe ,Something like that.
