I’m wrong yet again.
I was hoping to find out that Dershowitz was a white hat in disguise. Not looking good for that idea.
I always thought he made a lot of sense and had very rational arguments even when I disagreed with him. That was so unlike most of the Ds/libs. Most D/lib arguments are just an insane batch of lies mixed with anger.
Truth. Justice. Soon, please.
When Dershowitz started showing up on FNC I wonder if he was really acting out of conscience about how Trump was being treated, or if maybe it gave him a convenience excuse to re-position himself vis a vis the Epstein matter. Sort of like a suspected dope dealer who volunteers in a soup kitchen, to curry favor as a great guy who no one would ever suspect.
I’m sure there’s a better word or way to say it, but the best liars always bury the lie inside truth. So he could (and did) often admit that “sure I knew Epstein, worked for him, visited his properties” etc while insisting he’d never done or seen anything inappropriate. Good liars are so passionate about the part that is true that you tend to overlook the potential that they are lying or omitting other parts of the story. Maybe that’s why the oath commands people to tell “the truth, the WHOLE truth, and nothing but the truth”.
I thought so too until the impeachment debacle. He was in way over his head. Made himself look foolish.
