Alan Dershowitz Breaks Silence on Epstein Indictment:
Mediaite web site ^ | July 9, 2019 | Mediaite- Joe Piscopo radio show

Posted on 07/09/2019 2:24:30 PM PDT by ncfool

Alan Dershowitz is speaking out for the first time since Jeffrey Epstein‘s indictment.

The legal scholar — who was reportedly ticketed to appear on Hannity Monday night, but was not seen — broke his silence Tuesday morning on local radio in New York. Speaking with host Joe Piscopo, Dershowitz highlighted his top-line takeaway from the Epstein indictment.

“The indictment itself is fairly bare bones,” he said. “From my point of view, the important thing is that it doesn’t mention me.”

Dershowitz has been accused of participating in Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking operation. Virginia Giuffre, who is suing Dershowitz for defamation, claims she had sex with him as part of that operation.

I wondered what happened to him!
Last time I saw him on TV he was pitching dietary supplements for bodybuilders.

I believe Virginia. I wasn’t there when she was having sex with Dersh but I feel as though I were.

You’re getting to the heart of it. Flying on a plane is not illegal. Being friends with a slimebag is not illegal. Watching other people have sex with underage girls is (probably?) not illegal. Visiting Pedo Island is not illegal. And on and on.

To convict, they have to have evidence that will stand up to legal scrutiny and only time will tell whether such is available. The eyewitness testimony of the girls/women would seem to be pretty damning, but it’s got to be under oath and they’ve got to be able to withstand cross-examination by the best defense lawyers in the world.

Just saying. It’s one thing to post crap online and a whole nuther thing to build a case, prosecute it, and send the jerk to real prison. The difference is this time maybe it will get a proper test rather than being pulled by the bigwigs like the FL deal was.

That surprised me too. Had no idea he had a radio show.

I think Dersh was one of Epstein’s attorney’s in the last case a few years ago.

Whether you believe her or not is irrelevant when it comes to defending yourself in court when you get sued for defamation. Stating something as a fact that ends up being untrue can be very costly. You might want to consider indicating it is your opinion. Just saying,

Apparently one of them did. That is what started the ball rolling.
You can bet that they were selected and you can also count on they weren't taken out of Sunday School class.

But, as you so eloquently expressed it. they knew what they were doing, or in the chance that they did not, they got on the job training. I am old fashioned or just old, but 60 or 70 year old men having sex with 10, 11 and 12 year old girls don't seem right to me. I know and understand that happens.... but./p>

Yep. There’s a good indication right there, plus his past issues with controlling his libido.

Just watched NBCrap news. According to them it is all Trumps fault for appointing the Secretary of Labor that was the real criminal. More pictutes and comments about him the Prickstein.

I'm trying to get up to speed on all the backstory, but: '“From my point of view, the important thing is that it doesn’t mention me.” seems like a strange thing to say.

It seems to me that such a vaunted lawyer should simply have addressed any legal issues of the specific indictment. The article doesn't appear to indicate what question was asked to elicit that response...

Have never liked Dershowitz until he started defending Trump's positions on Fox news

This is the same RAT scum who has said repeatedly he didn't think Hillary should be prosecuted because she lost.

Lock him up too if it is proven that he too was participating in the Epstein/Clinton/etc. raping of children.

#LOCKTHEMALLUP and throw away the key.

“Mr. Epstein was part of the original group that conceived the Clinton Global Initiative, which is described as a project ‘bringing together a community of global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” lawyers Alan Dershowitz and Gerald Lefcourt wrote in the letter, according to Fox News, which first reported the matter in 2016.”

True enough. But does spanking your kid on the bum occassionaly when well deserved qualify you as a child abuser ?

Remember-—spare the rod, spoil the child.

And she is suing him for denying it, IIRC. Without other evidence, I’m not sure she has a firm legal basis.

Yes, she is speaking out when so many didn’t. But that does not mean she is right in all things. Evidence will tell.

In my opinion,no. I spanked my child when necessary. And my parents spanked me when they felt it was necessary. The term, “when necessary” is relative. It depends whether one is the spanker or the spankee. And, to tell the truth, it was my legs and not my bum that received the attention. My mother used a limber oak switch. My father used his belt.

“Have never liked Dershowitz until he started defending Trump’s positions on Fox news.”

It is strange how Dershowitz became a darling on Trump’s side (and our side) when everyone else around him simply hates Trump. Obviously I have no evidence to prove anything, but I wouldn’t be totally surprised if may have known something was brewing with Epstein and figured that being a Trump defender may help him out in the long run. (hopefully I’m wrong though, we need him just as he is)
