Alan Dershowitz says ethnic and racial composition of a D.C. grand jury hurts Trump

Famed defense attorney and Harvard University Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told a talk radio host on Friday that the large African American population in the District of Columbia could prove problematic to the Trump administration as special counsel Robert Mueller moves forward with his investigation of potential coordination between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia.

In an interview with WABC Radio host Rita Cosby, Dershowitz said Washington has always been solidly Democratic and “has an ethnic and racial composition that might be very unfavorable to the Trump administration.” Mueller has reportedly impaneled grand juries in Washington and Northern Virginia as part of his ongoing investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Hey Dershowitz, please tell everyone exactly what happened in 2001, when the U.S supreme court stepped in to stop a count.

And from this article you think that because if a possible crime has been committed in the DC district, and in a federal court, that somehow that this grand jury system should be court shopped to get the results that you and some outlets are now seeking to a friendly court and district, or you serious, and that somehow race is the driving force, did you forget that there are 23 individuals on that panel.
So when the Pravda propaganda cable station (Fox) spews this format are you speaking the same thing?
After all the Pravda cable station (Fox) with the former woman judge and there other attorney spewing this stuff, and said basically the same thing, and from the impression I am reading in this article that this a attempt to try and to bastardized the judicial system
