Alan Dershowitz to Newsmax: Letitia James 'Undignified,' 'Disgrace' to Law

New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, has exposed herself as a biased and unfit prosecutor by promising to go after former President Donald Trump, and she should be investigated, disciplined and potentially disbarred, legal expert Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax.

''The role of the prosecutor is not to get people, it's to do justice,'' Dershowitz said on Tuesday's ''Spicer & Co.'' ''She is not in the justice business.

'' Dershowitz pointed to the lawsuit brought forward by Trump's lawyers against James and her past comments during her campaign for attorney general, when she vowed to go after Trump - and now she has.

''You cannot allow the criminal justice system to become weaponized for political purposes,'' Dershowitz continued.

'' Dershowitz said the Trump case against James has merit because she acknowledged running for attorney general on the promise of going after Trump.

'' Still, Dershowitz acknowledged that it will come down to a court ruling in the liberal state of New York, even if ''this is a situation where what she is doing is clearly unethical, unprofessional, and in violation of the obligation of prosecutors.

'' ''Will the courts have the courage to stand up to a prosecutor and say, enough is enough? I don't know,'' Dershowitz said.
