Dershowitz writes panicky op-ed in anticipation of a New Yorker hit piece about him and underage girlsPublished 55 mins ago on July 18, 2019 By Brad Reed
Trump-defending attorney Alan Dershowitz has written an op-ed for right-wing publication Newsmax that reveals the New Yorker is working on an expose about him and women who have accused him of having sex with them when they were under 18 years old.
In the op-ed, Dershowitz accuses New Yorker editor David Remnick of commissioning a hit piece against me for the explicit purpose of silencing my defense of President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and the State of Israel.
Dershowitz then claims, without offering any evidence, that Remnick explicitly told people that I must be silenced because mine has been the most persuasive voice in favor of what Remnick feels pose dangers to values he holds dear, and that he will use the credibility of The New Yorker to accomplish this goal.
Four years ago, a woman who I had never met was pressured her word by her lawyers to falsely accuse me of having underage sex with her, Dershowitz writes. They expected a big payday, but I was able to prove from travel records that I could not have been on the Caribbean island, New Mexico ranch, or other places where she perjuriously claimed we had met Having seen the initial accusation demolished, her lawyer told people he was trolling for a second accuser because two is better than one. This time they found a real doozy: a woman who had tried to get the New York Post to publish her claim that she had sex tapes of Hillary and Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Richard Branson.
Dershowitzs op-ed concludes by warning his supporters to not believe anything written about him whenever the story is finally published. So when you read The New Yorker attack on me, read it with an understanding of its source, motive, and methodology, he says. Remember that you are not reading The New Yorker of old that had well-earned credibility. You are reading a glossy version of the National Enquirer, with partisan and personal agendas.

Meanwhile Netanyahu is attacking Barak for his ties to Epstein:
Epsteins Ties to Former Israeli Leader Shake Up Election Campaign
<snip>
"A former Israeli leader who is seeking to topple Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing scrutiny over his financial and personal ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the American financier charged with sex trafficking and abusing underage girls.
Ehud Barak, 77, a former prime minister and defense minister, received some $2.3 million in payments from a foundation associated with Mr. Epstein from 2004 to 2006, and Mr. Epstein invested a reported $1 million in a limited partnership established by Mr. Barak in 2015.
Mr. Netanyahu, who is facing possible indictment in three corruption cases involving his relations with tycoons, has demanded an investigation into Mr. Baraks relationship with Mr. Epstein.
Mr. Barak, a longtime critic of Mr. Netanyahus, has denied wrongdoing, said he did not know then about the allegations against Mr. Epstein and accused Mr. Netanyahus camp of exploiting the episode to distract from the prime ministers own legal woes."

I read recently that once the lid is taken off the Epstein files, a treasure trove of the rich and famous face exposure for their (ahem) acquired tastes and appetites.
But this? Sounds desperate.
