Someone asked this AM what happened to Alan Dershowitz. Laurence Tribe tells us:

Yikes! That one hit hard, Prof Tribe.

You’ve become a disgraceful shill, @AlanDersh
. What I truly don’t get is why. No response expected; none would merit reading.


responding to:
Alan Dershowitz
@AlanDersh
On the Dershow we discuss cable new's guess work about Trump's legal challenges and if he will ultimately succeed. Hear my legal analysis of the cases he is bringing and why some may have merrit and some may not. What do you think? Call me @ 216-710-0050.

That's why my assistant proofs my work for punctuation errors. I can't spell for beans. Fortunately, my word processing program is quite good at spelling. More fortunately, my assistant is a punctuation whiz.

No pleading, no letter, and few e-mails go out of my office until my assistant works them over with her red pen.

I'll bet Ghislaine Maxwell could explain it.
I'll bet Alan and Rudy are two wild and crazy guys when they go out together.
