Dershowitz: ‘When You Defend the Civil Liberties of Donald Trump, You’re Defending the Civil Liberties of All Americans’

By Grabien Staff

DERSHOWITZ: "It’s so interesting because, of course, this is what I predicted from the very beginning in my book “Trumped Up.” Once you unleash this business of trying to lock him up, it’s going to come back and bite you in the rear end. Today did you go after Trump. Tomorrow they goal after Democrats. You cannot unleash this weapon of expanding the criminal law. And targeting people without it coming back. You know, there is that great line from a man for all seasons about one of the greatest lawyers in history, Thomas Moore when when they say would you give the devil the benefit of the law? The answer was yes, because if you don’t give the devil of the benefit of the law, when the law comes for you, you will not have it and, of course, the German philosopher said the same thing when they came for the Jews, I didn’t do anything. Because when they came for me, there was no one left to tell. When you defend the civil liberties of Donald Trump, you are defending the civil liberties of all Americans and people have to come to understand that."
