Dershowitz: It's a Day After the Ruling and I Still Don't Know What the Crime Is – Merchan Took This a Step Further than Stalin – Supreme Court Should See This Case and Reverse This Case
[Gateway] Harvard law professor and author Alan Dershowitz weighed in on the Trump convictions by a corrupt court, a biased jury, and and criminal judge on Thursday.

Dershowitz pointed out what all of us are wondering — we still don’t know the crime President Trump allegedly committed.

As the Democrat operatives’ case against President Trump wound down last week the prosecution still had not defined the alleged criminal act that President Trump allegedly committed. But it didn’t matter. The court was ready to find Trump guilty and send him to prison.

Corrupt anti-Trump Judge Juan Merchan told the jury during instructions before their deliberation that they can consider whether the defendant violated any of the following laws:

1. Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) (federal election campaign law)
2. Falsification of Business Records
3. Tax Laws

Judge Merchan also told the jury they need not agree to what crime was committed. They just had to feel like a criminal act was committed to find President Trump guilty. This was one of the greatest bastardizations of the justice system in US history.

We still don’t know what the jury decided. We still don’t know what crime was committed. It’s been two days now and the court has not defined what law was broken. The judge and jury never told us!

Alan Dershowitz pointed this out on Friday.

#2 Leftists belive in "the process." It's not about whether the charges were valid or even existed at all, the process delivered the desired - by the left - results and that's end of story. As far as the left and their squish GOPe courtesans are concerned.

#3 /\ Yes, many have been arrested and detained without knowing their charges. There is indeed a pattern to the madness.

#4 A new prisoner in the gulag is asked.....
"So how long are you in for?"

He replies, "Twenty years." The veteran prisoner is surprised: "Twenty?? What on earth could you have done?" The new man replies indignantly, "I did nothing, comrade! Honest!"

The veteran says, "But the sentence for doing nothing is only ten years."

#6 Some are comparing Bill Clinton’s payment to Paula Jones with Trump’s payoff to Stormy Daniels, but there are key differences. Clinton paid Jones to settle a public lawsuit after being elected. Trump secretly paid Daniels before the 2016 election.

#7 ^ If you are paying someone to be quiet, doing it quietly would seem to be a necessary component.

#8 and the checks made out to Michael Cohen were in 2017

how that could interfere with a 2016 election is impossible to imagine without positing a time machine
