Why the Jan. 6 hearing is a sham
Dershowitz: 'Never Believe Anyone Who Is Not Cross-Examined'Retired constitutional law professor Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Tuesday that to be credible, witnesses must always be cross-examined, and that none of the Jan. 6 committee hearing witnesses has been.
''As a professor of criminal law for many years, and as one of the most experienced litigators, never believe anyone who is not cross-examined,'' Dershowitz said on ''The Chris Salcedo Show.''
''And none of these [Jan. 6 committee] witnesses are cross-examined.''
'It's as if a basketball team was sent out on the court, and the other team is held back and not allowed to present its defense of the players,'' he continued. ''It's one-sided. Don't believe it.''
Dershowitz said that the House select committee tasked with investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol building breach would have been much more credible had it accepted the Republicans initially selected to serve on the committee.
''They would have asked hard questions, they would have cross-examined, they would have presented contrary evidence and then the American public could make a decision,'' he said.
Instead, the hearings are being conducted in an entirely partisan way, Dershowitz said, much as the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings were.
He said that the goal of the Jan. 6 committee is to ensure that former President Donald Trump cannot run for president again.
''Although I voted against President Trump twice, I want to see a fair process,'' said Dershowitz, a self-proclaimed liberal Democrat. ''I want to see a fair election. I want to see no partisan misuse of House committees.''
Earlier in the show, Dershowitz said that when he watched the Jan. 6 committee hearings, the discussion revolved around threats that were made to people during the events of the day.
In light of the threats to conservative Supreme Court justices and their families over the potential overturning of the landmark 1973 abortion case Roe v. Wade, Dershowitz said that ''it’s so hypocritical.''
''Threats only seem to matter to Democrat politicians if they're directed against them, not if they're directed against people that they oppose,'' he said. ''We shouldn’t tolerate a double standard: A threat is a threat, violence is violence, no matter who it is directed against.''

The only way the cross exam can be removed: if it's a Military Tribunal
Is this the case, are the Deep Staters getting revenge for the Military Tribunal's
that the The American States have proffered?

Does someone pay you for being ignorant or just pay you for saying ignorant things.
I see it time and again when I try to talk to them about the core of what they accuse Trump of... and it always seems to end with calling him names.
To be honest I personally think not one leftie (anti-Trumper) can ever show Trump having done anything remotly as bad as when Biden on tape said "they will not get ther billions if they don't fire that (Ukr) prosecutor" who was investigating Burisma where his son was on the board.
Goes unnoticed by all..{ .save One..
The sheer size of the Government-- at all levels- was the big story of the 20th Century...now made remarkably worse by warp $peed & UN| WHO / world bank.
Jamie Raskin is a constitutional law professor. Schiff, Lofgren, Thompson, Cheney--they're all lawyers.
They have the legal chops and they have the evidence and the witnesses.
Texts, tweets, emails, recorded phone calls, sworn testimony from GOP witnesses and others--they have the receipts.
Remember McCarthy had a list of demands before he would take part in any investigation. Dems said okay fine, but McCarthy still refused. So no one can gripe about the committee now.
About 60% of Americans want Trump charged with seditious conspiracy. That's up a few points from before the hearings.
Clear and convincing evidence Trump is a traitor. Never thought I would see a president worse than Nixon.

Once again this is not a trial, it is simply a gathering of evidence. It is making the public aware of the facts. Even your own party is becoming aware of Trumps vile sedition.
Taking Dershowitzs statement out of context- he was talking about a trial. Now go back and grunt with your fellow baboons
Sum of you are so ready & willing to believe everything you see on TV. All the people suffering or killed from Jan.6 ..were Republican. Prove me wrong... should be easy...since I don't have TV.
BIG RED WAVE COMING THIS FALL, AND IN 2024!
Dissociative disorders are mental disorders that involve experiencing a disconnection and lack of continuity between thoughts, memories, surroundings, actions and identity. People with dissociative disorders escape reality in ways that are involuntary and unhealthy and cause problems with functioning in everyday life.
Prior leftist induced scandals:
Russia Hoax- after 35 million spent over 2+ yrs results------Full Exoneration
Impeachment #1-----The House adopted two articles of impeachment against Trump: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate acquitted Trump of these charges
Impeachment #2-----One of the charges...."Incitement of Insurrection" Trump being acquitted of the charges.
Media Show #3 In progress used as a distraction for the upcoming 2022 elections.
Those with Dissociative disorders are not able to understand and or comprehend what their brain is communicating to their tongue.......we call this the Rizargo syndrome. A constant stream of anti-mitigation tactics used to dissuade the readers. As I've said before: Terminally Stupid or Fundamentally Dishonest........I vote for their impeachment

..from the ripping of the Terrific speech, to
Prez. Elect porn Cop..to warp speed medical malpractice, the Name brand Republicans have distinguished themselves as the wimpiest creatures under the Sun.
The beast has gone from inside your TV living room..and with malice aforethought-- into the body & soul of your DNA, and into 1st grade, yeah, pre school, with gender policy pronouns & UN restricted warfare upon you...and you take it all in stride & rather non Chalantly..per the TV program.
At sum point, the raw physics of my reports will overtake you... standby. )..
