It\u2019s arrested people, denied them bail, put them in handcuffs \u2013 used all kinds of techniques that are not usually applied to American citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI suspect it has to do with some investigations leading toward Donald Trump and some of his associates,\u201d he theorized. \u201cAgain, the law is clear: You don\u2019t engage in a raid unless you\u2019ve exhausted all of the other remedies, unless you believe that the person you raided will destroy the evidence. Raids are not a first recourse in America; they\u2019re a last recourse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so the government will have to show a court eventually that they exhausted all other possibilities or they had a reasonable basis for believing that the evidence would be destroyed if it was sought in the normal legal course of events through a subpoena,\u201d he explained. \u201cRaids are a last resort, but today, in many instances, it\u2019s being used as a first resort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dershowitz opined that many raids conducted by current law enforcement are impelled by a desire for celebrity, as he stated, \u201cIn order to get on television, they have a lot of these raids where people are arrested, put in handcuffs, sometimes put in leg shackles, bail denied. Presumption of innocence still applies, but it\u2019s applied only in theory, not in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Referencing the reported FBI raid at Trump\u2019s home, he proclaimed, \u201cUnless there is evidence that we\u2019re not aware of, this is improper, and it is misconduct. We have to find out what the facts are. But we have to make sure the shoe fits on the other foot \u2013 that we want to make sure what\u2019s being one here is something that Democrats would not oppose if it were being done to Democratic operatives, as well. I don\u2019t think it passes the test.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>In November 2019, Dershowitz was <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JCats2013\/status\/1193552789038911494\">asked<\/a> by radio show host\u00a0John Catsimatidis, \u201cDo the Democrats today think that the American public is so stupid on some of the things they\u2019re doing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dershowitz replied, \u201cThey\u2019re very scary. They\u2019re very frightening to any civil libertarian. Whether you\u2019re a Democrat or Republican; whether you come from New York or the middle of the country, you should be frightened by efforts to try to create crimes out of nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz weighed in on the reported FBI raid on former President Trump\u2019s Florida home at Mar-A-Lago on Monday and slammed the Biden administration for weaponizing the justice system. \u201cA raid is supposed to be a last resort,\u201d Dershowitz pointed out. \u201cBut this administration has used the weaponization of the justice system against &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1595554,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1595508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1595508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1595508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1595508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1595554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1595508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1595508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1595508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
