Dershowitz Denounces Jan. 6 Committee Referrals – Intercessors for America

The Jan. 6 committee has recommended prosecuting Trump, but is that really the right thing to do? We have to have faith in God right now, not in Congress.

From The Washington Times. Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz denounced the Jan. 6 committee as a “kangaroo court” that produced a worthless report that should be “thrown in the wastebasket.”

Post a prayer for your state!

In an interview Monday evening on Newsmax TV, the eminent lawyer said that “not only is [the Justice Department] not obligated to do anything, it is obligated not to do anything” in response to the panel’s recommendations Monday that former President Donald Trump be prosecuted.

According to Mr. Dershowitz, the panel operated against the spirit of one of only two civil-liberties provisions in the original Constitution, before the Bill of Rights was added — a ban on “bills of attainder.”

That provision banned Congress from passing indictments of unpopular people by name. …

The committee members … voted unanimously Monday to refer four charges to the Justice Department for prosecution: inciting the attack on the Capitol, obstructing an official proceeding of Congress, conspiracy to defraud the government, and making false statements on fake presidential electors.

Mr. Dershowitz … suggested that “the Justice Department should reprimand Congress for even trying to suggest who should be prosecuted.” …
