“DEMS LOST PATHETIC WITCH HUNT”
Video transcript
Jared, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz. One thing I forgot in my laundry list there, Greg, was, you know, using the dirty Russian disinformation dossier for not one but four Pfizer warrants to spy on candidate Trump, later President Trump. That went on for a full year. But when you look at it all together and then you look at what happened today, I'm 99.999% certain this will get thrown out. But what is your reaction to all of it? Big picture. Oh, this case will not stand up on appeal. It'll get tossed out the conviction reversed. And, you know, you saw this today, this Orwellian theater of the absurd with the prosecutor condemning Trump and using the kind of language that's normally referred to hardened criminals or serial killers, not somebody who is convicted of a bookkeeping error and then the DA through his own little pity party in court because Trump accused him of lawfare and he whined how they were being attacked for enforcing the rule of law. Now, what they did was they abused the law. They distorted statutes. They shredded Trump's due process rights. This was the most abominable and oppressive act of lawless abuse by a prosecutor and a judge that I have ever seen. It was shameful. It was disgusting. And so Trump was right when he told Michonne today, this was a political witch hunt to damage his election chances. And by the way, that is a crime. 18 USC 241 and 242, conspiracy against rights, deprivation of rights under color of law. You are not allowed to conspire with others to injure someone's constitutional rights. That is a felony. And I think it's imperative for the incoming Department of Justice to launch a comprehensive investigation into this because I think there was a lot of collusion going on between these lawfare prosecutors. I'd like to get to the bottom of that big picture, everything that happened today, professor, and and all that has gone on since the day this man came down that escalator at Trump Tower. Well, first, I want to thank you for urging Republicans not to sink to the level of what the Democrats did and to use only the law and the Constitution. Nobody's above the law, but nobody should be prosecuted just because of who they are. So thank you, Sean, because you carry an enormous amount of weight with the Republicans. And this is so important. What we saw today was a scam, a ploy. It started with Judge Marchant telling in advance what his sentence was going to be. I've been doing this for 62 years. I've never been told by a judge what the sentence is going to be. When I go into the courtroom with my client, I tell him to bring his toothbrush because he doesn't know whether he's going home or going to Rikers or some other lockup. The only reason Marchant said in advance what he was going to do is to try to persuade the two justices of the Supreme Court not to take the case now. And they use that fact. And they said the reason we're not taking the case now and stopping the sentencing from going forward was because the judge said in advance that he's not sentencing him to prison. So this was a ploy and the two justices, unfortunately, fell for the ploy. This is the worst thing that's happened to the American criminal justice system since McCarthyism and the civil rights abuses back in the 1950s and the victims of the American people. Trump, yes, it was hard. He said very honestly that it was tough for him, but he prevailed. He won and the American people won because they rejected lawfare. You know, I invented that term back in the 60s. I'm proud or ashamed of it. Yeah. It's a little bit of a miracle that all this did go away. And I also mentioned the Russia hoax. I also mentioned FISA abuse. I also mentioned top secret classified information that Hillary Clinton had and Joe Biden had. And they did not, they were not covered under the presidential records act. Their homes, their offices were not rated. They were not spied on. If there was Russian disinformation, it came from Hillary Clinton. She bought it. She paid for it. The government used it when they were warned not to use it. This, these are not small levels of abuse here. This is systemic abuse of the legal system we're talking about weaponization. That's the right term. That's the essence of lawfare, that it doesn't look at the crime. It looks at the person. And if it wants to see the person defeated for office, it goes after him. That's Stalin, that's Lavrenti Beria. Show me the man and I'll find you the crime. But they couldn't find the crime. They searched high and low to find the crime in New York. They made him up. They couldn't find one. So they made it up. That's even worse. Yeah. Because it could happen to any of us. Greg. Trump won the lawfare of war waged against it because Americans were paying attention and they're smart and they saw this for what it was. It was a contemptible weaponization of the law by Democrats to win an election. But in the process, Sean, they destroyed themselves with their own blatant corruption. Voters resented it. They vented their anger at the ballot box. This is the ultimate jury verdict in America. So Trump should actually be sending a thank you card, Alvin Bragg and Juan Marchant for unwittingly helping him win reelection. But the real loser in all of this is the New York legal system. It is now in tatters. All right. We appreciate you both. Thank you, Greg Jarrett. Thank you, professor. We appreciate it.
