Well, True_George came across an interesting interview on Vlad T.V. The host, D.J Vlad was interviewing the fame Lawyer Alan Dershowitz. The interview touched on a few subjects, after all he was on the inside representing infamous controversial figures, such as Mike Tyson, handling Tyson’s rape conviction appeal. Dershowitz was also a member of the O.J Simpson’s infamous dream team of Lawyers, that represented Simpson during his infamous murder trial.

Dershowitz was also involved in high profile cases that involved that likes of Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange. Sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein, even Nelson Mandela and of course Donald Trump. To talk about each of those personalities, it would be a separate discussion. Right now, this discussion would be focused on Donald Trump.  

Yeah, we all know that Trump is gearing up to face the courts on multiple charges in various states. Dershowitz, being a legal analysis, advisor and teacher of law, he understands the inner workings of the judicial system. Plus when he is featured on CNN and gives his predictions on the outcome of high profile court cases, he is batting 100%. This brings a unique outlook on Donald Trump’s situation.

The first case in New York City concerns the payment of hush money to Stormy Daniels. It is a thirty-four-count indictment of falsifying business records.

Dershowitz stated that from a legal standpoint, it’s the worst case that he has seen in 60 years of practicing law. That he has never seen a weak prosecution such as this case.

The theory of the case is that if you pay “hush money,” that is paying money for the purposes of making sure that a scandal doesn’t publicly come out that you have to reveal that you’ve paid that money in a corporate way. Why would anyone pay hush money if they have to publicly reveal it?

In the history of the United States or perhaps the world, no one has been prosecuted for not revealing that they legitimately and legally paid hush money. It is absurd and is an embarrassment to the New York legal system.

The indictment should have ended up in a dismissal of all charges, but it won’t because there is a large percentage of people in Manhattan where the case is being tried, are anti-Trump. They not only voted against Trump, but they hate him and are afraid of him. Plus they are very emotional about their hate and fear. It is going to be very hard for Trump to get a fair jury, or even an impartial Judge.

The second case is a Federal thirty one count indictment under the espionage act for willfully retaining documents that contained nation defense information. One count of making false statements, and along with a personal aide one count of obstructing justice by withholding government documents and corruptly concealing documents from a federal investigation.

Dershowitz stated that this is the strongest case against trump as far as the facts and law is concerned. They have evidence, including a video of Trump waving a document at a Journalist that is claimed that they can prove that its classified and that Trump knew it to be classified. That Trump uttered that he could have declassified the document, but he didn’t so it is still secret.

That will surely get a conviction. But the problem is that this isn’t a serious case. You know that President Biden had classified material, so did Vice President Pence. Dershowitz will bet that other former Presidents also had classified material at home.

There should be a conviction in the classified material case, but the charge isn’t serious. The obstructing justice charge is the serious charge. However, the evidence that they have, seems to be very weak.

They don’t have direct evidence of Trump telling someone to erase the tapes, and to top that off the tapes were never erased. It is going to be a hard case to prove.

 But let’s say that Trump was found guilty on all charges, what do you think will happen. He may get probation, a suspended sentence or maybe a fine. There has never been a case like this where a person has gotten prison time.

Then there is the Federal case in Washington D.C for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. This is a four count charge which includes conspiring with unarmed co-conspirators in front of the United States. Obstructing the certification of the electoral college votes, and depriving people of their civil rights to vote and having their vote counted, as well as obstructing an official proceeding.

Dershowitz states that the case is strong if it can be proven that Trump believed and knew that the election was fair. If they can prove that Trump actually told someone or wrote a letter or E-mail or something that proves his state of mind of believing that the election was fair and that he just deliberately lied to everyone in order to regain the presidency in a corrupt manner, it would be a strong case on the facts and law, and the charge would be serious.

The only problem with this is that Trump actually believes and still asserts that the election was stolen. It may be wishful thinking or delusional, but its an actual belief that he has and if he has it and the government can’t disprove that belief its going to be a hard case.

The jury can be given two types of instructions. The first if the members of the jury find that Trump honestly and subjectively believed the election was stolen, then they must acquit. 

The second instruction would be if Trump believes that he won the election, that the belief must be reasonable.

You’ll find that even though the jury will find that Trump believes he won the election, that the jury will not find the belief reasonable. Probably because the jurors may believe that the election was fair, given that most people in Washington D.C voted against Trump.

Then there is the Georgia RICO case; this is a forty-one-count charge with eighteen defendants which includes Rudy Guiliani.

Dershowitz states that the indictment is very, very weak. First of all everything starts with a blatant lie. The prosecutor goes on television, look America in the eye and says that she is going to bring this to trial in six months.

The prosecutor was lying through her teeth, she knew dam well that this type of trial wouldn’t come into fruition within six months. It was a malicious and calculated lie and a hell of a way to convict someone of lying when you’re lying yourself.

There is no excuse for not knowing that the trial will not be taking place within six months when you’re dealing with nineteen defendants, fifty Lawyers and a ninety five page indictment, and hundreds of thousands pages of documents. It will be a miracle if the trial will take place within a year. Dershowitz goes on to say that he has no confidence that the Georgia prosecutor will give a fair trial to Trump and the other nineteen defendants.

Dershowitz believes that Trump will be convicted in New York City and Washington D.C, simply because the jury pools are overwhelmingly anti-trump. But there is a good chance that the convictions will be overturned on appeal.

Dershowitz feels that the greatest obstacle that Trump will face will be in Georgia where he is being charged under the RICO act. A conviction under the RICO act carries a mandatory prison term sentence. In all of his cases it is unlikely that Trump will ever serve time in prison.

Dershowitz stated that all the charges are political motivated that why would they go after a man who is running against the incumbent President, that unless you have a slam dunk case against the opponent, a confession, or an admittance of overwhelming evidence, then all of it is just a vendetta. Otherwise, it is a political action when the person running against the current President is imprisoned.

On a whole America needs to be careful that it doesn’t start to imprison or even assassinate candidates running against the current President, just like what happens in some countries. Otherwise, America will just be another banana republic.    

Incidentally Dershowitz’s book “Get Trump” will go into details of what Trump is up against.
