“I think there’s fault on both sides,” Dershowitz told “American Agenda.” “The prosecution has targeted [Trump], as evidenced by what happened in New York, where the most outrageous indictment I’ve ever seen in 60 years of practice was issued by a district attorney [Alvin Bragg] who had campaigned on the promise to get Trump and then a special counsel [Jack Smith] is appointed not to investigate the problem of former officials taking documents home with them, but focusing specifically on Donald Trump. That’s one side of it.” …

“He made statements to his lawyers, which I’m sure he now regrets,” Dershowitz said. “He made a statement to a reporter, which was recorded by his own staff, saying, ‘See this? I could have declassified it, but I can’t now, it’s secret. I shouldn’t show it to you, but it deals with the attack plan on Iran.’

“He wishes he wouldn’t have said that. … They’ve both done wrong things.”

[Dershowitz also made a similar argument on his Substack yesterday, which I linked in both the Headlines and my post about the Presidential Records Act. It’s an argument that is political in one way and legal in the other — and that doesn’t exactly help Trump. Courts take a dim view of the *legal* argument about selective prosecution, although it is undeniably a powerful political argument at the moment in regard to the Biden administration and the 2024 election. It seems like a tacit admission from Dershowitz that Trump’s in real trouble, and largely of his own making in this instance. — Ed]
