Dershowitz predicts Bannon’s condemnation of “Trump Haters” won’t stand

After former Trump adviser Steve Bannon was found guilty Friday of contempt of Congress, attorney and former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz was on Newsmax complaining about the jury, calling the conviction a “total violation of the Constitution” and predicted that a higher court will. “very likely” cancel it. “The only provision in the Constitution, which appears basically twice, is trial by jury in and before a fair jury. First, he didn’t have a fair jury. Number two, the judge took away his defenses,” Dershowtiz said. Bannon’s legal team chose not to call any witnesses in his defense. The case’s jury, made up of Washington, D.C. residents, took just three hours to reach his conclusion. After Newsmax host Greta Van Susteren said the district is “94 percent Democratic,” Dershowitz said, “Well, not only that, but probably 97 percent of Trump haters.” He added, “And all you had to do was say, ‘Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this man Bannon worked for Trump.’ That’s the end of the case.”
