Attorney Alan Dershowitz urged “everyone” to “keep an open mind” about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s cohort Ghislaine Maxwell after the FBI arrested her Thursday.
Dershowitz, who has acted as an attorney for notable figures including both President Donald Trump and Epstein himself, spoke out in defense of Maxwell in a Friday op-ed for The Spectator.
Dershowitz formerly helped negotiate a plea deal that gave federal immunity to Epstein and his co-conspirators in 2008, requiring Epstein to serve 13 months in jail in Palm Beach with practically daily work release.
The former Epstein attorney has been accused of sexual abuse by Virginia Giuffre and Sarah Ransome in civil lawsuits that allege Dershowitz had sex with them through Epstein when they were teenagers. Dershowitz denies that he did so and sued Guiffre for defamation.
“Everyone should keep an open mind about Maxwell as they should about others who have been accused by Epstein’s alleged victims,” Dershowitz wrote in his American Spectator op-ed.
He continued: “The truth-testing mechanisms of cross-examination and confrontation must be employed against these witnesses, as they are against other accusers. Only after a full trial, in which both sides are presented should reasonable people come to conclusions about Ghislaine Maxwell.”
A grand jury indicted Maxwell on charges of conspiracy to entice minors to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to these illegal sex acts, transportation of a minor to engage in illegal sex acts, and perjury.
The victims were as young as 14 years old, the indictment said, noting that both Maxwell and Epstein knew that certain victims were minors.

the plea deal that Mueller/Comey/DS allowed
that ignored everything, why?
what children were given to Mueller and Comey,
or did they just go to judges to be used later?
Dershowitz appears to be getting a tad twitchy.
Dershoitz don’t believe in lych mobs?
Comey’s daughter involved with Maxwell case
When someone as she has been so involved in the capture, rape, and torture of children, mob mentality is perfectly acceptable.
Civility doesn’t need to be civil to savages such as her.
chivalry demands that you treat others they way they treat others, they have by their actions shown what they consider acceptable treatment to be.
no double standards. no hypocrisy. no exceptions for age or gender. none.
How does Dershowitz feel about the cops in Atlanta and Minneapolis being hung out to dry by their PDs and pronounced guilty by the media? Haven’t heard much out of him about that.
Doesn’t look good.
Why did he have to say anything?
Dershowitz was Epstein’s attorney. There is NO WAY Dershowitz didn’t know that Epstein was an ongoing serial child rapist.
Dershowitz’s defenders will say that even an ongoing serial child rapist deserves representation. Maybe so. But it sure wouldn’t be me. No amount of money would be enough.
Alan Dershowitz can go to hell.
A reminder: If Clinton was President, and Comey still FBI director, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell would still be trafficking and raping young girls, offering young boys to Kevin Spacey, and other pedos, and nobody would be the wiser, and Harvey Weinstein would still be in the movie business.
Exactly!
For some reason this reminded me of Bill Cosby’s story about:
A high school shop teacher who was trying to find out who put the bullet in the furnace.
Shop Instructor: You know, if you put a bullet in the furnace, it
reflects badly on your mother.
You’d have to have a pretty lousy mother to put a bullet in the
furnace.
Student, bawling: I didn’t put no bullet in the furnace, and stop
talking about my mother that way.
LOL
Oh Dersh, you are well and truly in trouble now.
The next card he’ll play is anti-semitism.
I’ll bet he does
