Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz predicted that Donald Trump will be convicted on some charges before the 2024 presidential election.
Trump currently faces 91 felony counts following his fourth round of indictments in August.
Dershowitz, who represented Trump during his first impeachment trial in 2020, told America’s Voice that some trials would be completed before the 2024 election.
“Oh yeah, that’s the problem,” he replied when asked if Trump would be charged before 2024.
“We’re going to have some convictions of Donald Trump because he’s being tried in districts where you can’t get a fair trial, and then these convictions will be reversed after the election,” he said.
“That’s the strategy,” the defense attorney continued.
“The strategy is down and dirty, unlawful convictions to influence the election, and then we don’t care if they’re reversed after the election because, by that time, it will have had the intended impact on the election,” he added.
“So yeah, I think we’ll see some convictions,” Dershowitz said.
The defense attorney highlighted the New York case brought by Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, alluding the president had falsified business records during the 2016 presidential election.
“New York, they can convict a ham sandwich whose name is Trump,” he said.
Dershowitz also said there would be a similar case in Fulton County, Georgia, where DA Fani Willis charged Trump with trying to subvert the 2020 presidential election.
Special counsel Jack Smith also indicted Trump for allegedly mishandling classified material and attempting to subvert the 2020 election results.
The New York Times reported that Bragg’s trial and Smith’s election subversion case are set to begin in March 2024, with the classified documents case is set for May.
However, the trial date for Willis’ prosecution has not been set.
Alan Dershowitz argued that the documents case should be put off until after the 2024 election due to the massive volume of material defense attorneys would need to go through.
He noted that DC District Judge Tanya Chutkan said the public has a societal interest in seeing a speedy trial for Trump.
“Read the Constitution,” Dershowitz said of that notion.
“It’s the right of the defendant to a speedy trial.
“The defendant also has the right to prepare for a trial adequately, and if you have 12 million pages of discovery, no lawyer can prepare for a trial within several months,” he added.
“This trial definitely ought to be put off until after the election,” he charged.
Dershowitz is correct.
The prosecutions against Trump are based on politics, not justice.
If Trump was not running for President, Democrats would not have brought the cases.
Besides indictments, there are also efforts to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot.
Earlier this month, a write-in presidential candidate from Texas filed a lawsuit this week in a sad attempt to try and keep Donald Trump off the 2024 Oklahoma ballot.
As The Daily Fetched reported, John Anthony Castro, who is literally a nobody, mimicked other lawsuits filed by liberal groups to try and stop Trump from becoming the GOP nominee.
As The Washington Times reported Mr. Castro hopes will force courts in 11 states to consider the substance of the lawsuit — that Trump committed insurrection in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol and thus cannot hold political office.
Previous attempts to torpedo the Trump campaign had run aground on the matter of standing — courts had ruled that the people bringing the lawsuit were not harmed by the Trump campaign and thus could not bring a lawsuit.
