quote [ How a liberal Harvard professor became Trump's most distinguished defender on TV, freaked out his friends and got the legal world up in arms. ]
I've always thought this guy was a raging douchebag, regardless of whether or not he says something I agree with (and I disagree with almost everything he says here). The article mentions a lot of his celebrity connections (he's a bigger groupie than Pamela Des Barres), but Jeffrey Epstein is conspicuously absent.

Tho not mentioned at all in the Politico piece, I assume Dershowitz' defense of Trump is directly related to Trump's support for Netanyahu and Israel's national interests, over the US national interest.

In a kind of morbid way, I'm fascinated with how we're all still pretending this current course is sustainable. It's a bit like that one panel comic with the stock market guy sitting around the campfire with other survivors of the collapse. But, instead of talking about delivering returns to investors, we'll be congratulating ourselves for keeping up the illusion of a "democracy".

Yeah. I hear people say things like "A sitting president has never been indicted...criminal charges against Trump seem highly unlikely." (as Mandery does) or "What Trump has done isn’t appropriate for criminal charges..." (as Silverglate does, as if he even knows what Trump has done), it makes me want to punch them in the throat. It's like people in DC (physically or psychologically) are so busy telling themselves that there's nothing unusual going on that they can't even conceive of the fact that just because something has not been done before, that doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't. There is a very real possibility that we have a President who is an agent of an enemy country, and at the very least he's a corrupt money launderer for organized crime. And we're supposed to say "oh well, that's what impeachment is for, what can we do?" Have you not noticed that the Republicans are using the congressional investigations to protect him, rather than impeach him? This is exactly the situation where a special prosecutor is needed, and the idea that what's happening is some kind of witch hunt for political payback is fucking delusional.
Dershowitz claims, "if this were Hillary Clinton being investigated and they went into her lawyer’s office—the ACLU would be on every television station in America jumping up and down." Who does he mean by "they" - a highly respected prosecutor from her own party on the basis of legitimate evidence? The ACLU would be wrong, and you and I would be among the people saying so, and I know that because we supported the actual FBI investigation of Clinton. It may be impossible for these shitheads to imagine, but not everything is reducible to partisan politics. Cohen is a crook, the FBI raid was legitimate, Dershowitz is a shithead. And I'm really hoping Dershowitz is the next takedown by #metoo. That fucker is a creep. Thanks for letting me rant, a friend sent me the Politico thing this morning and I thought I couldn't hate the guy more than I already do. |

I forgot who it was, but they said the silver lining is that some creeps came out of the closet. This is one of them.

Rudy Giuliani while bitching out on a televised debate with Avenatti:
"I wouldn't debate him because it wouldn't be fair," the former New York mayor and US attorney continued. He added, "I debate, like, really intelligent, skilled people," pointing to the famed attorney and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz. "I know Alan Dershowitz," Giuliani said. "He's no Alan Dershowitz." |

He's right, it wouldn't be fair. Avenatti would destroy him.
