Pressure to Prosecute Donald Trump 'May Be Irresistible': Dershowitz - NewsweekWriting in his latest book, Dershowitz argued: "The 'Get Trump' camp is making it difficult for Merrick Garland to do and to appear to be doing justice. These extremists not only don't care about the equal application of the law, but they also demand a double standard against Trump precisely because they believe that Trump is more dangerous and more evil than Hillary Clinton was. (Many anti-Clinton zealots believed the opposite.)
"The pressure on Garland to prosecute Trump, especially from the left of his party, may be irresistible. At the very least, it will subject any prosecutorial decision to the accusation that it was influenced by the 'Get Trump' zealotry."

Because rule of law?
They had their chance with Hilary and investigated her over and over and over for years. They would have prosecuted if they had any crime committed..

(15,568 posts)12. Newsweek is a RW trash rag
They gave space to John Eastman to write a column claiming Harris wasnt eligible to be VP because her parents werent born in the US.
Despite folks fond memories of the Newsweek of the 80s, they are no longer a reputable news source.
