Just before the news broke that former President Trump was indicted on federal charges, famed attorney and Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, who represented Trump in his first impeachment trial, blasted the seemingly endless investigations into Trump.
Trump was indicted for allegedly violating the Espionage Act because of the way he handled classified documents. Although some of the charges are under the Espionage Act, that does not mean Trump is accused of spying.
“What I worry about is if it becomes Turkey, or it becomes Iran, or it becomes a country where a suspicion is equivalent to conviction of guilt on one side of the political spectrum, rather than the other,” Dershowitz said in an interview on Newsmax, pointing out the danger of a legal double standard. “But the key is, you have to have one system and one standard of law enforcement.”
