WATCH: Dershowitz Reminds Democrats of 2000 Election And THEIR Efforts To Overturn It - 'Are They Going To Come After Me Now?'

Alan Dershowitz, a former member of the Trump legal team, avowed Democrat, and Harvard Law School professor emeritus, pointed out an uncomfortable truth to Democrats nationwide Monday. He reminded them that Fulton County, Georgia DA Fanni Wallis just indicted Donald J. Trump and 18 of his supporters on 'RICO' (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act charges for challenging the 2020 election in almost exactly the same way they challenged the 2000 election.

The acclaimed legal scholar told Fox News that the post-election strategies of the Trump legal team, including its allegations of widespread voter fraud, were almost analogous to what the Democrat Al Gore team had done when claiming the 2000 election was 'stolen' by then-Governor George W. Bush (R-TX).

He told Fox, Trump's actions were "very similar" to Gore's strategy in the landmark Bush v. Gore Supreme Court case that decided the hotly contested election.

“We challenged the election, and we did much of the things that are being done today and people praised us. I wrote a bestselling book called ‘Supreme Injustice.' Now they’re making it a crime.”

He added, "You cannot start making crimes out of things that the Democrats did — Tilden Hayes, John Kennedy election 2000 election 2016 election, Jamie Raskin gets up and does some of the same things. These are political actions that the Constitution prefers us to take rather than going out on the streets and rioting. We’re supposed to go to court. We’re supposed to go to Congress. You can’t make those things crimes. And you can’t expand the RICO statute to now include political objections."

Dershowitz speaks from experience, after all, he was on Al Gore's team. "It’s pretty much the same thing I did and Professor Lawrence Tribe did, and those of us who were on the Al Gore team," Dershowitz said. 

"I was representing the voters of Palm Beach County, and we were saying ‘please check this county, check that county, find this vote find those votes. We think there are more votes,’" Dershowitz told Fox. "We did the same thing and Professor Tribe wrote a legal memorandum essentially laying out a strategy very similar to the strategy for which these folks are being indicted today."

"So if you look back at the 2000 election and the protests, I still think to this day, and I'll say it here on television, that that election was stolen from Al Gore by Bush, that he won the actual election," the renowned legal expert claimed. He then issued a challenge to Democrat prosecutors, "I'm saying that -- are they going to come after me now?" 

Dershowitz told audiences that the indictments shouldn't be taken seriously at this point in light of DA Wallis' accidental posting of the indictment document before the grand jury vote even occurred.

"Nobody should take the indictments at all seriously, because they announced the indictment before the grand jury even voted," he explained. "So the grand jury is just a rubber stamp. And so, nobody should say, ‘Oh, the grand jury indicted, so it must be serious. It's not the grand jury who indicted, it's the prosecutors," he told the outlet. 

Posting to Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump scoffed at the indictment writing, "Can you believe it? This failed District Attorney from Atlanta, Fani Willis, where murders and other violent crime soars daily to new record highs, is charging me with 2020 Presidential Election Interference. No, Fani, the only Election Interference was done by those that Rigged and Stole the Election. Those are the ones you should be going after, not the innocent people that are fighting for Election Integrity!"
