Free speech for me but not for thee. Equal protection for me, but not for thee.\u2019 That\u2019s the direction in which the pendulum seems to be swinging today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There seems to be a double standard at work, Dershowitz said.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to the treatment of Sandy Berger, a national security advisor to President Bill Clinton, who was fined and sentenced to two years of probation in 2005 for unauthorized removal of classified material from the National Archives, and Hillary Clinton, who kept classified intelligence community emails on an unsecured private email server in her home. She was not prosecuted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are different standards being applied?\u201d Dershowitz said. \u201cWhy did they arrest and shackle people like Peter Navarro and Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, instead of just calling their lawyers and saying, \u2018Have him show up for an arraignment in a day or two.\u2019 That\u2019s the way it\u2019s usually done. What we\u2019re seeing is probable cause that a double standard has been applied to Trump and to Trump loyalists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Protecting the Right to Vote <\/p>\n<p>Although Dershowitz represented Trump during his 2020 Senate impeachment trial, he says he is not a Trump loyalist and didn\u2019t vote for him. But he does not want to see Trump disqualified from running, because voters have a right to vote for the candidate they want.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to see the American system<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The raid on former President Donald Trump\u2019s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, may become a key moment in history\u2014with implications felt by all Americans\u2014depending on where the pendulum next swings, according to civil rights attorney Alan Dershowitz. \u201cRight now, the pendulum is swinging against the Constitution, against free speech,\u201d Dershowitz told The Epoch Times. \u201cIf I had [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":2315279,"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-1607047","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\/1607047","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\/104"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1607047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1607047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1607047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1607047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1607047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
