Dershowitz: The 4th Trump Indictment Is ‘Very, Very Dangerous’
OANN ^ | 8/15/23 | Daniel Baldwin

Posted on 08/15/2023 10:53:35 AM PDT by spirited irish

“This changes the rules of the game,” Dershowitz said. “This basically says RICO is not just applicable to organized crime or to organized, commercial crime with hierarchies, but it also applies to protests against election results. It’s going to deter and chill people from challenging legitimate election results.”

Only Republican challenges. Democrat challenges will still be celebrated for their courage.

If applied appropriately, RICO would jail almost all democrat politicians.

Trump's team needs to copy this before it gets disappeared!

Joe Biden brags about having “the most extensive and inclusive VOTER FRAUD organization” in history.

Nearly all democrats would be in prison if they were held to their own standards. BUT, the democrats run the country now and will put their enemies in prison, or outright kill them.

The Democrats have not seen a Rubicon they are unwilling to cross.

They used RICO against pro-lifers back in the late 80's in an effort to financially ruin those who blockaded abortion mills so sidewalk counselors could more easily reach out to expectant mothers and their babies.

This country runs like an organized mafia themselves...

Yeah… I’d say the days of elections are nearing an end here for now. It’s about to be a ‘might makes right’ environment for a while.

I don’t see any Republicans challenging this. Where is GA GOP? Are any Red States asking Delta how they feel about this political lynching? How much business does Florida do with Delta? My bet is a lot. Seems obvious GOP is giving Dems a mulligan to attack Trump.

Legitimate election results are not the problem.

Illegitimate ones need to be challenged.

but it also applies to protests against election results.

I think most people have now figured it out, it's Trump VS evil. Plain and simple.

The following is the extent of the support for Trump over the
last seven years, provided by the Republican leadership.

And I quote:

"                                                  "

Does anyone believe for a second the Left would have
remained silent if one of their people were to be
treated as Trump has been? Look at the thugs they brought
out to defend Bill Clinton, if you dare.

It is so preposterous to act as if the GOPe is on our side.

We are alone in this with Trump, and anyone the GOPe and
their donor crew support, I'm not having it.

They're dead to me.

The Dems have challenged virtually every election since 2000.

The results? We did major investigations, stopped even inoffensive GOPers like Bush from getting a cabinet or doing any of the normal transition things, spent hundreds of millions of dollars on looking for hanging chads, etc. And the Dems still lost.

The problem is that there is nothing the Dems want less than an honest review. This is what Trump should be demanding and it is certainly not a criminal offense (since we let the Dems do it repeatedly).

He won a second term and was deprived of it...so let them prove he didn’t.

But the problem is that they can’t, they know he won, and thus they’ve decided that the best defense is a good offense.

That precedent will be knocked down in higher courts by overwhelming majorities....perhaps even in lower courts. 9-0 in the SC.

Getting these appealable issues fast tracked to higher courts is my concern.
