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.

But there is no Torah and no light in that zip code..
And there are zero non wimpy R's.
the demonrats have not disappointed on that fact. with all of the editing done so far, it can't be any other way. it's not a gathering of evidence. it's a communist approach of " here's what we want the evidence to be". and so it shall be done.
also starting to get more and more of these reactions myself, you know these:
I suppose that is a hint to miself that I don't have to go in and argue.
Yea, think I can safely let those remarks go untouched.
His applications on appeal were turned down by the lower courts so his allegations have not been adjudicated
none the less Trump's allegations remain unheard
