The deck is really being stacked.
Alan Dershowitz knows courtroom battles. And this is a warning that should be taken seriously.
Legal scholar Alan Dershowitz exclusively tells WABC Radio Host Rita Cosby that the new D.C. grand jury impaneled by Special Counsel Robert Mueller is bad news for President Trump, not because of its existence, but because of WHERE it’s located… Washington, D.C. “It gives the prosecutor a tremendous tactical advantage… the case now can be brought not in Northern Virginia, which is a swing area, sometimes Democrat, sometimes Republican… but the District of Columbia, which is always solidly Democratic and has an ethnic and racial composition that might be very unfavorable to the Trump Administration.”
Generally jurors do their job. They overcome biases and if they err, it's on the side of innocence. Usually. That's why Obama's police lynch mob fell apart when it hit the courtroom. African-American jurors did the right thing despite the politics. So I would worry more about a white leftist than a black Democrat. These days the left has thrown aside any respect for process and has turned into a lynch mob.
But even overall, we are now in a very politicized period where the idea of setting aside your emotions and listening to the facts is becoming utterly alien to so many people. Objectivity has been tossed aside leaving only agendas. I would not want to see the future of this country riding on the decency of a grand jury in one of the most political parts of the country.
It would be nice if the Mueller coup were stymied by the inherent decency of ordinary people. But I wouldn't want to bet our last hope of freedom on it.
