He’s a nut too! Considering he spends all day on Twitter proclaiming he’s never been on the Lolita Express.

[It will be unfortunate that the original logs appear to have been lost in the subsequent fire, too.]

It appears the pilots were victims of a "botched robbery". Oh, and a "botched arson" too.

Nah, typical lawyer ethics...

As long as you personally didn’t see it, or your client admitted they did it, you assume they are innocent... force the government to prove their case.

Dershowitz did his job, the fact the Feds agreed to the light deal they did was either one of two things... they didn’t trust their case.. or they didn’t want the case to go to trial to protect others...

Given that Epstein’s behavior was an open secret for decades, it’s almost certainly the latter...

Terribly sad; so terribly sad

When Mr. Cothran shot Mr. Stonegal - or was it the other way around? Terribly sad.

(Max, here is Colin Fox in that movie - not it’s not a $100 million dollar budget so....lol)

The ethical thing, for the lawyer to do, is defend his client, not help with the prosecution.

Of course, and that is exactly what the liberal media said about Hillary Clinton's work on behalf of the alleged perpetrator of a violent rape against a 12 year old girl. Clinton may have stepped over the line in her advocacy, using tactics and attacking the victim in ways that are now considered inappropriate. But no one in the liberal media said that disqualified her from office, as they are now saying about Labor Secretary Acosta, or that it indicated she was guilty of something.

Alan Dershowitz is a very skilled lawyer, and it would really be surprising to hear that he was personally involved in any inappropriate behavior of the sort alleged of Mr. Epstein.

Or the news reports that Epstein was a CIA asset are true.

Re: He is also listed in the pilots’ logs as flying on the Lolita Express. Good Luck Alan.

The new indictments make no reference to “Pedo Island.”

As to Epstein's plane, I don't recall seeing any references to that, either - but I will go back and look.

Dershowitz said in the interview that he never saw Epstein commit any crime with a minor female

I never saw the Night Stalker (Richard Ramirez) kill or rape anyone when I lived in Orange Co., but I'm pretty sure he did it.

Allen Dershowitz’s name must be on the Pedophile Island’s visitor log. He too is a registered Democrat. Re the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings; Of course we all know that only conservatives are rapists and pedophiles and must never believe any female who accuses a democrat of same. /s

Dershowitz possesses that one requisite quality ... he cares absolutely nothing about the truth. He made that very clear at the O.J. Simpson trial.

“Just days after his former client was convicted on charges of sex trafficking minor females, attorney Alan Dershowitz is defending the convicted pedophile.” He’s a democRAT! Apparently his seeming empathy for Trump recently was merely for the camera time he was getting on FNC. They always revert to type. Dersh is no exception.

This is entirely what is wrong/evil about the U.S. justice system/U.S. legal profession today.

While I agree that the accused must absolutely get the full extent of legal argument and representation; nowadays there is NO concern for justice, just whatever DEAL can be made.

Alan Dershowitz said that he still believes Jeffrey Epstein is innocent and never saw the convicted pedophile commit any crime with an underage female

I didn't *see* it so it never happened.

What a disgusting excuse for defending a pedophile.

Comments at the link are interesting.

I guess even pedos and their scumbag lawyers are too much even for most liberals, although a few tried to drag Trump and *right wingers* into it.

What a strange thing to say, as if whether or not he actually was on hand to see Epstein sexually abusing underage girls is the question, here.

Sounds to me as if he’s speaking more to his own benefit than defending Epstein.

“I never saw it?” That’s not about his client, that’s about Dershowitz.

I re-read the indictment.

The indictment does not mention Epstein's private island.

The indictment does mention Epstein's plane, but there is no allegation that any unlawful actions took place on the plane.

What exactly was Dershowitz doing on the island? Nothing but sipping pina colatas under palms trees by himself?

The Professor wants to be on the legal team, not on the witness stand.
