Alan Dershowitz is an elderly intellectually impaired homely man who has discovered that spouting

"unique" interpretations of US law which favor the pariah-in-chief gets him face time on the tube. Nothing more.

Harvard should be embarrassed.

his appearance only to indicate that he is not a "pretty face" and may be feel in need of some attention.

I can't think of any other lawyer who shares his educational background that believes that orange-tinted lunatic is innocent. Dersh stands alone in his feelings.
