“They’re going to get on the bandwagon,” Dershowitz said of prosecutors. The “approach is to get him before the election, convict him before the election, and he wins on appeal.”
“They’re all going to raise it,” said Eric Segall, a law professor at Georgia State University. “Trump is going to argue that he and all his merry people were simply ensuring the integrity and fairness of federal elections, something they had an obligation to do, and therefore he has immunity.”
Segall said the laws protecting federal officials from state prosecution serve an important purpose. Consider, for instance, federal officials working to desegregate the South during the civil rights era being thrown in jail by state officials opposed to those efforts. But Segall stressed that he doesn’t believe the facts of Trump’s intervention will warrant immunity.
He saying that’s their approach. Ultimately might come down to the Supreme Court which hasn’t favored Trump and similar cases so far.

Everyone just needs to take away his platform. Stop giving him what he craves
What does this look like in context? Not charging him for crimes? Not covering this extremely newsworthy event?

Dershowitz is a well known legal expert. He believes there will be convictions but overturned in appeals.
No he didn’t.
He saying that’s their approach. Ultimately might come down to the Supreme Court which hasn’t favored Trump and similar cases so far.

That’s not what Dershowitz said.
