Dershowitz: Trump defense must avoid 'trap' of debating election fraud during Senate trial

"It's a trap to have them talk about electoral fraud, because if they do, they'll lose McConnell and other senators," said Alan Dershowitz, a member of Trump's 2020 impeachment defense team.

Key legal allies of former President Trump say his defense team must avoid the "trap" of debating election fraud during his Senate impeachment trial.

House impeachment managers Tuesday cited Trump statements challenging the integrity of the 2020 election in arguing that the former president engaged in a "months-long effort to incite" an "insurrection" which culminated on Jan. 6, when a pro-Trump mob forced its way past police lines into the U.S. Capitol.

House Democrats' move to frame Trump's electoral fraud claims as incitement in their impeachment narrative created an opening for Trump's defense to, in effect, put the 2020 election itself on trial before a nationwide viewing audience, as many of his supporters have urged.

Some Trump allies say his electoral fraud case has never received a full public airing due to legal challenges being tossed out on grounds of standing, timeliness and other technical issues rather than on merit.

But former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who helped lead the successful defense that gained Trump's acquittal in the 2020 impeachment trial, said this move would be "a terrible mistake" for Trump.

"It's a trap that the Democrats are trying to set for the Trump lawyers," Dershowitz told Just the News in an interview Wednesday. "It's a trap to have them talk about electoral fraud, because if they do, they'll lose [Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell and other senators."

The "absolute trap," Dershowitz said, "was being set by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), who is leading the Democrats' impeachment case. Raskin studied law under Dershowitz, who called his former student "a smart guy."

Multiple news outlets reported that five of Trump's defense attorneys departed the case with little more than a week until the trial was set to begin because of differences with the former president over strategy. Reportedly, attorneys Johnny Gasser, Greg Harris, Butch Bowers, Deborah Barbier and Josh Howard opted out because Trump preferred that his legal team make the case that the election was stolen through massive fraud instead of focusing on the constitutionality of a Senate trial of a private citizen.

Agreed. Tattoos were a bad trend and we should tell young people to avoid such trends. We must teach our young people to lead wholesome lives.

Fix that typo or I will notify the grammar cat.

Not a huge amount of hair dye, and no visible tattoos, but this young lady should just get a good husband and stop posting revealing pics of herself on the Internet. Seriously, did this girl have a horrible relationship with her parents? Is that why she is acting decadent?

And then, one day, for no reason at all, the people of the Wasteland called for Vulpes Inculta…

>Maybe the why is actually Molech. The Chinese worship Molech..

No. You can object to a lot of stuff in Chinese religion, but the new year gets a different animal in a cycle of twelve years. The Ox Year is just a cycle designation. It has nothing to do with worshiping gods. If you insist on being ignorant, go do it somewhere else.

I don't think this is notable, but thanks for taking the "research" aspect of this board seriously. Chasing a tenuous lead is better than posting pictures of tattooed ladies.

>>12892027

I respectfully disagree. Not very notable. Still, if it is the only lead we have got, we have to pick up the pace.

>>12892028

Trump does not have to do everything personally. Let's hope he has planned this out, just like he has planned out most of his conflicts in his life.

>>12892042

Trump is strategically intelligent. That does not mean he never makes mistakes. Let's hope he has made enough good moves.

>Anyone who thinks Trump (or anyone) personally called a single shot or made a single decision on their own while president is a complete moran.

Even if one concedes that point, it doesn't advance any non-trivial argument. Suppose Trump consulted with advisors for every single decision. That does not prove Trump did no strategic thinking.

Burden of proof is on you, but don't bother writing your argument here. Go bother people who are not researching Q drops.

It is a distraction term invented by mainstream media.

The twelve guys were George Bush, Dick Cheney, Larry Silverstein, and their friends.
