Quote from: seoulbro post_id=396659 time=1609872909 user_id=114'No Crime There, Period': Alan Dershowitz Says Trump Phone Call Taken out of Context
News outlets took President Donald Trump's comments to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger out of context during a phone call that was later leaked to the press, said Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz.
"Well, every major media is taking it out of context," Dershowitz told Just The News, adding that there was no apparent crime being committed on the phone call by the president.
Mainstream outlets initially reported on Trump's remarks to Raffensberger as an attempt at a shakedown to "find 11,780 votes" in Georgia for the Nov. 3 presidential contest.
But the full transcript of the call showed that Trump asserted that he won the state and asked the election official to probe election irregularities—like he has been doing for weeks.
"He's not saying I want you to create the vote," said Dershowitz in the interview. "He's not saying I want you to manufacture or concoct the votes. He's saying, and he's been saying this for months, on Twitter and his statements and his campaign's, he thinks that people voted for him and those votes weren't counted. He's entitled as a citizen, as a candidate, to say, 'I want you to find those votes, I want you to find the votes that will pass for me and what weren't counted, I want you to find votes that were cast against me that shouldn't have been counted—by people who are dead people, who are out of state."https://www.theepochtimes.com/no-crime-there-period-alan-dershowitz-says-trump-phone-call-taken-out-of-context_3644256.html?utm_source=newsnoe&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2021-01-05-2"> https://www.theepochtimes.com/no-crime- ... 21-01-05-2">https://www.theepochtimes.com/no-crime-there-period-alan-dershowitz-says-trump-phone-call-taken-out-of-context_3644256.html?utm_source=newsnoe&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2021-01-05-2
