Dershowitz to Newsmax: NY Prosecutor Ran on Promise to Get Trump

New York Attorney General Letitia James ran for office on the promise that she would bring criminal charges on former President Donald Trump, and that's unheard of, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said to Newsmax Saturday.
"That's how she got elected," said Dershowitz on Newsmax's "Saturday Report." "If she doesn't get Donald Trump, she's not gonna be reelected. That's not the way prosecutors should operate. "
New York prosecutors have convened a grand jury that will, over the next six weeks, hear evidence to determine whether to indict Trump and his business organization on charges of fraud, but Dershowitz said it's not hard for any prosecutor to get an indictment.
"If a prosecutor is determined to get somebody, particularly a businessman who has complex business dealings over the years, it's not so difficult to get an indictment," said Dershowitz.
He added that judges and prosecutors should not be elected people or political jobs.
