Trump's Only Road to Victory

And if Democrats take the 2 Georgia Senate seats; the real hunt begins.
Let's see the look on all those naive progressive faces when they begin seeing "real" taxes scooped off their paychecks. Let's see their reactions when their freedoms are restricted.
And let's see their reactions when they later rebel against their progressive gods.

No good reason? How about the rough transmission Obama assured for Trump?

Well deserved payback.

This article summed up my position on the matter exactly!

While I respect his intellect & knowledge, not sure why Mr. Dershowitz sees the task as needing to be so laser like. He skips over huge potential factors.

1. Ms. Sidney Powell, a highly respected attorney, details numerous massive alleged mass-scale fraud. Historic fraud.
2. Late ballots counted past the deadline mean hundreds of thousands of illegal votes counted in PA, GA, MI, WI, and elsewhere.
3. Mass denial of equal protection - GOP Observers denied access to the vote counting process.
4. Ms. Powell claims some counties had 200%, 250%, and 350% of potential ballots cast!
5. Numerous mathematical analysis reveal mass voter fraud.
6. All of these allegations at least cover 6-7 swing states, but likely far more.

The esteemed Alan Dershowitz always presents the historical facts and Constitutional alternatives based upon experience. He is an honest broker.
I would further contend upon one statement made by him that the McCarthyism we've seen played out by the Democrats, has been on-going since the nominating process of Donald Trump. The one event that truly parallels the historical event Joe McCarthy is Adam Schiff before Congress declaring that in his hands he holds a piece of paper that is a transcript of President Trump and The President of the Ukraine. Whereupon he reads a made-up transcript that G-d knows who wrote, and he tries to pass it off as if it is an actual transcript of President Trump. It reminds me of Joe McCarty's I hold in my hands a list of Communists in government' when in fact he was holding a blank sheet of paper.

* having the Trump administration cooperate with the Biden transition team *
. . . . is just what Joe & Co want to happen.
No matter that it makes some practical sense, it would be hailed as concession.
Best not to go there until really necessary . . .

NO! The Trump admin should NOT cooperate with the transition given the extent of the alleged voter fraud. Let the judicial challenges continue until the courts have addressed issues confronting the alleged fraud.
Mr D: should it be necessary that a court of nine choose the president? or a voter process that satisfies the majority of the population?
I suggest that without the fraud being perpetuated:
Dems would have a difficult time proving their case to the public. I do not accuse the Dems of fraud, rather attribute the fraud to the Left; who may be any combination of various political parties intent on bringing down the USA. God help us all.

Don't cooperate with cheaters, fraudsters, Socialists and Communists. Simple.

I agree with people saying that if Biden is not legally President elect, plus we cannot ignore all criminality of Biden Family, we have to keep Biden out of White House as long as possible. I just hope that Professor Dershowitz will help us recognizing the terrible crime that Democrats performed in this election. And we have to send Petition requiring Biden to do the COGNITIVE TEST.

There is a good reason why the Trump Administration should decline to cooperate with the Biden presumptuous "transition team." As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo indicated with his promise of a "smooth transition" to a second Trump term, there is a strong expectation of Trump's ultimate victory. Dominion computers used in battleground states, according to Sidney Powell, were originally created and used to rig Hugo Chavez's elections in Venezuela. Powell claims the statistical evidence on the use of these computers in this presidential election is "dispositive" which I believe in legalese approximates "case closed."

Powell has as one witness, a former high ranking Venezuelan official, who signed an affidavit about the origins of the computers used by Dominion. Beyond that, it seems irresponsible to engage in premature intelligence sharing with the Biden camp given revelations concerning Hunter Biden's laptop and corruption allegations made by Hunter's former business partner. If Hunter Biden's business partner is telling the truth, Joe Biden poses a national security risk. At this early stage in the election dispute, offering intelligence sharing to the Biden team would seem to reward a credibly accused, dirty campaign which has been working in feverish tandem with the media to give a false assumption that the election is over, and to bury ongoing fraud investigations.

The election is far from decided. As an election observer in Angola in 1992, I heard of candidates who saw their vote totals descending on the communist regime's counting screen; the regime's fraud wound up returning the country to civil war and resulted in a government-led pogrom against Jonas Savimbi's freedom fighters.

The two highest officials at both State and DoD accepted consulting contracts with the Angolan communist regime in the wake of the electoral aftermath's carnage, while our leftist media dishonestly blamed the rebels for being poor losers. I had an early glimpse of the "deep state" then. It is deeply embarrassing as an American to realize that our great nation, the world's only superpower, held Venezuelan or Angolan-style elections, deeply marred by fraud accusations that surfaced during the count, and which are still pouring forth as Powell said, "like a fire hose."

Cheaters NEVER win ! They will get caught soon or later.

The fact that President Trump was ahead, and then suddenly two states came down cutting his winning off with so called higher votes. And wonderful attorney Sidney Powell along with Rudy Giuliani, pointed out voter fraud by software from foreign countries of a socialistic nature... isn't that enough to admit there was fraud against our President? And Biden has not been officially declared President-Elect.

It's over with. The cheaters planned VERY WELL. They closed all doors. This country is dead. (When, and how, does the military decide that a "foreign or domestic threat" is facing the country?)

Dershowitz lost me when he said "Lawyers are entitled to advocate all reasonable and ethically permissible strategies that serve the interest of their client".
From what I see and read, most lawyers are withdrawing exactly because they see Trump's actions as unreasonable.

While I generally respect Professor Dershowitz's expertise in the law, I have to speak out about the obvious fraud of the entire national voting process starting with machines and software manufactured and owned by British oligarchs and aided and abetted by Democrat sycophants. Our Republic is at risk of dissolving. Financiers and bankers worldwide are planning a "reset" of national currencies in favor of a globalist digital take-over. The crisis is real.

I have heard from othe sources regarding Alan Dershowitz summing up of this election fiasco the most important point for President Trump is that he must not make a concession speech if he does that then it definitely is over and the current assumed result stands..

And of course we have the Epoch Times spreading nonsense everywhere. When we leave reality, it's like walking on ice, too little grip. Trump has revealed his late-Roman dictator qualities, time to leave the stage.

IMO, if Biden wins, it will be God's judgement on America. (2 Chronicles 7v14).
Trudeau is already God's judgement on Canada.

Lawyers are not allowed to knowingly formulate false and fraudulent claims and present them as true to a Court. In doing so, the lawyer breaches the Cannon of Ethics and could well violate criminal statutes such as obstruction of justice. Improper conduct depends upon the facts of each case. Large fines, Contempt of Court, criminal or civil conviction for contempt, and license loss or suspension can be the penalties for such conduct. As a federal criminal defense attorney, I know full well that the power of the judicial system can be vast and merciless to those who violate our American system of justice. As such, the attorneys filing many of the cases challenging various aspects of the Presidential voting in the 2020 election walk upon thin ice and could find themselves in a world of hurt if they are not careful of what they claim. There is no right to lie under oath nor is there a right to present false claims to a judicial body. Once the new president is sworn in, there could be actions taken against some attorneys who have acted in violation of their oaths by their promotion of false evidence. In my opinion, there should be.

"... has been coronated by the media, by politicians and by most Americans."

I see no evidence for "most Americans" accepting Biden as president. Perhaps your point was that even if most had, we would still have to go through the process?

In the light of what has been happening in the the United States since Trump was elected President four years ago, including the Russia collusion hoax, the judicial persecution of some of his associates, the attempted "soft coup" by the FBI and the "deep state", the behaviour of the mainstream media and up to the most recent events, such as the proposal by AOC to create a "black list" of "undesirables", the petition of some lawyers to disbar their own colleagues who have worked for Trump, the tweet of one Professor at Berkeley suggesting the burning or books expressing ideas different from his, to Harvard students "demanding" that the University should ban forever the presence on campus to anybody who worked in Trump's administration, to the very idea of "cancelling people", censoring ideas and so on and so forth, do not seem to fit what Mr. Dershowitz calls "the American way". I fear, however, that the traditional "American way" is a thing of the past. The present, what he calls "McCarthyism", it is seems to me, is better to call it for what it is: Fascism. Sad, very sad indeed.

Mr. Dershowitz:

While I agree that an attorney should not be disbarred for advocating "reasonable and ethically permissible strategies," an attorney has an obligation to make reasonable inquiry into the facts underlying his or her claim and abandon advocacy of a claim that is not supported by the facts. Every time I submit a pleading in New York, I make a representation, as an officer of the court, that I have made such an investigation. However, it is apparent that the Trump lawyers, in at least some and probably most, if not all, of his cases, are failing in that duty. I specifically note the claim in Nevada that people who were not residents were allowed to vote when it was apparent from their own lists that substantially all of their alleged wrongful votes were from military members and college students temporarily outside the state who were permitted to vote. The attorneys conducted NO investigation at all and should be sanctioned for that behavior.

Alan Dershowitz is excessively generous in his opinion.
This is not the proper time to suggest a transition of power to a corrupt team deserving to be declared a national security threat and thoroughly investigated.

I think Trump has enough evidence to end this tomorrow, if he wanted to. There is striking evidence all over the place that he knew all about Dominion and its electronic vote switching way before the election, and planned for it. Right now he's just weeding out all the other massive voting fraud - the ballot stuffing, unmatching signatures, dead people voting, Dem operatives outside voting locations filling out ballots in the middle of the night, etc. Once he exhausts and weeds out all of that, then he'll drop the electronic vote switching bomb evidence. It runs deep, and a lot of people in high places are going down. [N]othing [C]an [S]top [W]hat [I]s [C]oming!

If presumptive president-elect Joe Biden ends up failing to obtain the 270 electoral votes needed to win the election outright and the House and Senate are required to elect the President and Vice-President respectively, will the Democrats calmly sit by and allow the selections to proceed in a dignified manner or will they cry foul and attempt to shame or bully enough Republicans to join them to elect Biden and/or Harris?

If the past four years are any indication, we can expect the Democrats to pull out all the stops and leave no holds barred in an attempt to elect Biden and Harris. If the Congress should fail to elect either Biden or Harris, look for the Democrats to blame systemic racism for the loss. Also, I would not at all be surprised if a few radical Democrats went even further and claimed that the Constitution needs to be "revised" since they believe it is an outdated document that was created by slave-owning, White supremacists.

Biden will NEVER be my President. There will be NO "coming together". I will NEVER forgive the media and the Democrats for their malignment of MY President.

Biden and campaign were complicit in enabling the election fraud; they are subject to prosecution, not transition.

If Trump cooperates with Biden now, it will imply in the minds of the people and the blaring media that he is essentially conceding to Biden. That is the wrong message to send at this point in the game!
What he SHOULD say (politely) is that he would be glad to concede AFTER all the balloting software and other voting discrepancies are legally resolved and the full Constitutional electoral process is complete with Biden the legitimate winner. Please, let's let that Constitutional process go to completion and not jump the gun!

The right to use the Constitution does not include the right to abuse it. That is undemocratic. While you have a right of free speech, you do not have a right to yell " fire" in a crowded theatre. That is an abuse. There are limits. Trump is our employee, not our boss. He appears to have broken his contract with us by failing to engage in the transition process while he pursues his efforts to maintain the presidency. This indicates that he is working in his own best interests while he is in breach of his contract with us, especially where he is likely to loose. This article admits that such a loss is probable.

There are holes in both Amendments 12 and 20. The framers of those amendments did a poor job of drafting, but who in their right minds could have anticipated a president such as Trump? Well, a couple of our founding fathers did, but seem not to have protected us on this issue. The drafters of 12 and 20 didn't, either.

But for the fact that Trump is our president, a court system would likely have classified him as a vexatious litigator by now: someone who just throws "stuff" against a wall with no facts to sustain any of it. With all of his cases, every court reviewing them has dismissed them based upon no facts being presented. One of his cases was even voluntarily dismissed. Most all of his lawyers have quit.

Our court system is not designed to have every unhappiness litigated. Let the current cases proceed to their appointed demise. Let every legal vote be counted. Let us proceed to certification. Let the transition process be insisted upon by every Republican who loves this country, this for the sake of this country, and this before recount or certification. None of us want to see our country damaged in this political process. While Trump may pursue his goals, he is not acting in a way which protects our democracy. This must change, now. Every Republican needs to contact his/ her senator and insist upon this, now.

With respect, Prof. Dershowitz, if cooperation with the transition team meant the Biden camp would do anything other than complain, object and obstruct what the Trump administration is doing with any issue, the call for transition cooperation would have some merit. But, like the lame and disingenuous plea for unity, we can expect nothing but abuse from the Biden team on every issue.

Professor Dershowitz is close. If one looks closely at the contested election of 1876 it will be found that no state or federal lawsuit needs to be won to interject chaos into the Electoral College. The House will decide if the Electoral College final tally will be validated or rejected. Buckle up and you might want to get a helmet.

Mr. Dershowitz contradicts himself in this article. In one part, he says:"Let us remember that as a matter of law and constitutionality, Joe Biden is not yet the president-elect." And, in the next paragraph, he says: "But let us move forward with the transition by having the Trump administration cooperate with the Biden transition team." If Biden has not been elected according to the Constitution, why would President Trump cooperate with him? At this point there is no transition to be made yet. If he isn't elected officially he may be made privy to sensitive information that could be used against our country and/or We, the People. I agree that for now there should be no cooperation.

Let's assume Trump makes it to an election in the House. The House is under the control of its Speaker, who in the new session of Congress we can reasonably assume will be Ms. Pelosi. If Pelosi, at that time, attempts some parliamentary maneuver to prevent a rollcall vote of the states, what mechanism exists, if any, to compel her to schedule that vote? I see nothing in the Constitution on this point. Any parliamentarians out there?

Catch-22. "But let us move forward with the transition" could compromise national security if top secrets of the conservative Trump team are exposed to the leftist Biden team. It's not going to happen because President Trump is a patriot. Biden isn't even president-elect, so no transition is required to someone who hasn't technically and legally won yet.

Let us remember that as a matter of law and constitutionality, Joe Biden is NOT, (take the yet part out) the president-elect. He has been coronated by the media, by politicians and by SOME Americans. What he is, is candidate Joe Biden. Since we don't have kings, his pretend coronation is a LARP and nothing more.

Get it done and best of luck.

Professor Dershowitz uses his considerable standing to claim that Trump's attempt to overthrow Biden's election victory by pursuing a intricate if improbable win in the electoral college is normal and perfectly constitutional while at the same time he disagrees with Trump stonewalling the transition process.
But in defending this "balance" between defending and criticizing Trump's acts he overlooks one giant fact. If successful, it would overturn Biden's popular vote victory which is now close to 6,000,000 votes. This would be rather different than Bush's 2000 victory when he held onto a margin of 532 votes.
Does Professor Dershowitz think a Trump victory on such terms would be good for the rule of Democracy, and morally legitimate in the eyes of the American People and the rest of the world?
Ron Thompson

Trump could be holding security/intel briefings/updates from Biden because of it being a national security risk because of Hunter and the Big Guy's dealings in Ukraine and China. Along with real quid pro quo he pulled off live on TV. Sounds like a good reason to me.

Mr. Dershowitz knows pretty well, just like the majority of Americans, as well as the outside world, that massive fraud has been implemented to steal the elections. Saying that the "majority of Americans consider Biden an elect is well beyond the exaggeration. The fraud has been proved, so the Supreme court's decision should be obvious.

Release the Republican KRAKEN and see 10's of Thousands of Democrats and Republicans go to Prison.!!

If it's true that Biden/Harris has "won" by hook and crook, which to me seems to be the case, I don't blame President Trump for not yet cooperating in an illegitimate transition exercise. If Mr. Trump fails to overturn this abomination of an election, I expect he will eventually cooperate, however grudgingly.

This article summed up my position on the matter exactly!

In the electoral process in a country of 330 million people, no major widespread fraud has been found. Joe Biden received 5.6 million more votes than Donald Trump. (Hillary Clinton, by the way, exceeded Trump by 3 million votes in 2016.) If God forbid, the election is overturned through legal subterfuge, the political and economic consequences will be ugly.

A barmy system if I may say so, but beautifully explained by Alan Dershowitz as usual. I particularly like what he says about co-operation during these weeks for the sake of the country. And the same goes for civility: nothing can justify the sulking rudeness with which Trump has treated Biden.

Ok, Biden is not at all President elect. So, why would President Trump even accommodate Biden in any way shape or form? It's NOT the American way. These are not credible forms of any kind today, with all the corruption, fraud and illegal behavior and activity today. What a disgrace that our votes that we so cherish are being treated so fraudulently like they mean nothing cause of big tech oligarchs, elites and media lying

We see here dualism of the very smart, knowledgeable specialist and decent man.
If Biden is not president-elect and there is a dispute why transition should start now but not after he will become (if become) officially president- elect?

Well balanced and well articulated comments. But you didn't need me to say that. It is always a pleasure to read your commentary.

False re: "most Americans" want Biden. Most legal Americans want Prez. Trump.

What Mr. Dershowitz has again offered an excellent legal opinion. The conclusion one may arrive upon, the fact the DNC may have pulled off a perfect crime for which instead of heading to jail are headed to the White House.

If Biden is not officially the "President-elect" and Trump is forcefully contesting it, there's no reason for Trump to cooperate with the Bidenista regime as if that is the incoming administration.

How can one, in all good conscience, cooperate with someone you have very credible evidence that their election is not only fraudulent but illegal?

The deeply flawed addition of mail-in voting justified by a false necessity made a mockery of the voting procedure. It is impossible to certify the results.
The entire event, including the results produced by the voting machines, is not verifiable. How can anyone pretend we had an election?

I understand Joe Biden is receiving normal daily reports given to both candidates. If true, Mr. Biden doesn't need more at this time. He has been around D.C. and Government for quite awhile and should know what is going on with that information. IMO, this is no more than Democrat noise. I do not, and will never believe, Biden received more legal votes than HRC, the first woman Presidential candidate, nor BHO, the first black Presidential candidate. This election was nothing more than massive fraud.

The constitution says the winner needs a majority of the appointed electors. So I do not understand how denying Biden 270 (the majority of the potential electors) would stop him or for that matter Trump from getting a majority of those actually appointed. In a two-way race it can only go to the House if there were to be an exact tie.

I don't understand why he should cooperate with the Biden transition team if he does not accept or recognise the efficacy of the election process? This would only serve to reinforce the tsunami of orchestrated support for the swindlers to such an extent that the will to fight for what is right would be swamped.

As usual, Alan Dershowtiz presents a very fair argument and many useful facts -- historical and legal.

I just hope that Mr Trump WILL end up serving a second term.

He sure has earned it.

Joe Biden, on the other hand, is a trainwreck.

If these manoeuvres by Republican lawyers and politicians every succeeded it would surely lead to social unrest, a major health and economic crisis as well as signal the end of the American dream and image as the leader of democracy in the world. This would have severe repercussions around the globe and only accentuate the shift in political and economic power towards Russia,India and China where more than 50% of the world's population lives
