Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law professor emeritus, told Newsmax on Monday that the legal battles in the courtrooms over Jan. 6 cases were worse than any riots in or around the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
"What happened actually four years ago, it was a terrible, terrible thing. It will never happen again. But the worst thing that happened on Jan. 6 was the development of lawfare that grew out of it. The prosecutions — the persecutions — particularly against [President-elect] Donald Trump, the Washington, D.C., case, the Fulton County case, those will remain precedents on our books for a long, long, long time," Dershowitz told "The Record With Greta Van Susteren."
"And so there are two aspects of Jan. 6: the violence itself and ... the people who just walked in, mostly at the behest of the police, including one of my clients who I have a dog in this fight," Dershowitz continued. "They should be pardoned, and I hope they will be pardoned. But the worst thing that happened on Jan. 6 was not in the Capitol. It was in courtrooms around the country where lawyers have been disbarred, where The 65 Project has risen its ugly head and gone after lawyers who have themselves taken action to try to incorporate their beliefs that the election was not fair."
