Alan Dershowitz BLASTS U.S. Justice!

Former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz blasted the U.S. justice system during a Wednesday appearance on Fox News, condemning those who use it to sway elections.

During his appearance on “Hannity,” Dershowitz described the justice system as “unfixable.” He expressed concerns after Judge Juan Merchan’s third refusal to recuse himself from the case involving former President Donald Trump, highlighting what he perceives as entrenched double standards that could impact the upcoming presidential election.

Trump’s sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 18 after being postponed from its original July date. The delay followed the Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents are immune from prosecution for “official acts” performed while in office.

“The one rule that we had violated is the most important rule of all. A single standard of justice without regard to who the person is. You know, the Bible commands judges do not recognize faces. Do not recognize political parties. Do not recognize partisanship. By the standards used by Judge Merchan to convict Donald Trump of a noncrime. You called it a novel crime, it’s not a crime at all. By that standard, the Bidens would be in jail for the rest of their lives,” Dershowitz said. “I don’t think any of them should be prosecuted. But if you apply the Merchan standard, the standard of the New York case where there’s no crime at all, where there’s an expired misdemeanor, where they turn that into a felony. By that standard, the kinds of crimes that Hunter Biden has committed are rampant and without a doubt prosecutable.”

The professor also voiced a preference for dropping the charges against Trump, forecasting that while Judge Juan Merchan may sentence Trump to prison, it is likely that the sentence will ultimately be suspended.

“He’s going to say, I’m sentencing you to prison. You deserve imprisonment for this, but I’m going to suspend the sentence, or I’m going to delay the sentence. So that way he gets his cake and eats it.”

Dershowitz maintained that nearly all legal proceedings are being manipulated to sway the outcomes of elections.

“It’s a manipulation of our justice system to affect elections, and that’s wrong,” Dershowitz said.
