Alan Dershowitz says every reputable attorney he's spoken with has told him their firms 'won't let t

[MarineCombatEngineer]

Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer who defended former President Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial, told Insider that most reputable law firms aren't letting their attorneys go anywhere near Trump as his legal issues snowball.

"All big firm lawyers have told me that their firms won't let them do it," Dershowitz said in an interview. "The firms won't let them go near any case involving Trump. These are firms that want to continue to have clients, and they know that if they represent Donald Trump, they'll lose a lot of clients."

Dershowitz spoke from experience.

After he represented Trump in his second Senate impeachment trial following the deadly January 6 Capitol riot, Dershowitz said he lost job opportunities and many of his speaking engagements.

"Everybody who has called me has shown reluctance to do it," he said. "They say their law firms won't let them do it. Their husbands or wives won't let them do it. Their children won't let them do it. Their friends won't let them do it even though they want to do it.

Wait, didn't Benedict Donald just say recently that this was a lie? That big firm lawyers weren't refusing to represent him?
Another lie by Benedict Donald?
I'm shocked I tells ya, just shocked.

Even Alan Dershowitz says it's true.

[Xipe Totec]

1. Even their worst enemies won't let them. nt

[Scrivener7]

2. The rats are all jumping!

And Dershowitz wants people on Nantucket to like him again. But it's too late.

And he's gross.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

3. Yep,

they're not going to go down with the CSA Benedict Donald, unfortunately, they're refusals seem to be more monetary than ethics, but I'll take whatever I can get.

[SergeStorms]

52. I heard on Morning Joe....

that it's not a question of getting paid, but no reputable firm wants to go anywhere near him. He's toxic.

After all those years of thumbing his nose at the law have finally come back to bite to bite him in the ass.

[MOMFUDSKI]

22. inquiring minds want to know

if the dersh had his underwear on whilst making this statement.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

28. Oh great!!!

There's an image I now can't get out of my head, well, back to therapy for another year.

[COL Mustard]

63. 🤮🤮🤮🤮

[MyOwnPeace]

29. NAILED IT!!!!!

You got THAT right - poor Al wants to be with all of the 'in-people' again, but alas:

"There once was a jerk from Nantucket, .........." (go ahead, finish it - I don't think he's worth the effort... )

[rubbersole]

40. Who kept his undies in a bucket...(I've got nuthin').

[MyOwnPeace]

43. Aw, NOW you've done it!

There once was a jerk from Nantucket
Who kept his undies in a bucket.
No OJ to blame,
he's going down in flame,
Without tRump, he said, "Oh F**K it!"

[rubbersole]

46. I'm sorry. Very 😞 sorry.

[Twoflower]

66. You should be look what you made Peace do.

[rubbersole]

67. Peace is a poet.

He just doesn't know it.
But his feet show it.
They're Longfellows.
(I'll apologize again.)

[MerryBlooms]

73. 😆😆😆

[MerryBlooms]

72. 😆😆😆

[spooky3]

4. Dershowitz, the market is telling you it is past time to make a graceful exit. Nt

[waddirum]

5. They are simply worried about being paid

The fact that he hasn’t paid Rudy or Eastman for their failed post-election work speaks volumes.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

7. And the potential loss of clients,

which would affect their bottom line.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. That's Probably The Bigger Issue

Sure, the concern about not being paid by TFG is real.
But, that's short term revenue.
Losing regular clients cost money long-term. Likely a much bigger deal than the risk of getting stiffed by the conman.

[calimary]

20. I bet it is!

Then your credibility as an attorney goes right down the drain. AND you risk not getting paid. So you're a loser twice over.

I think if I needed a lawyer on that level, I'd include a look through the ones who said no to him. One of those might be worth talking to.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

23. you'd have a wide range of choices,

because it seems all the good lawyers are telling Benedict Donald to get bent.

[Claustrum]

26. When I worked in a big law firm, they used to ask for retainer up front.

It might not be the whole bill but they usually keep a retainer (money up front) so the employees get paid while doing all the upfront paperwork before going on trials.

I know it's common around here to say he stiffed the lawyers but big law firms have the resource to sue and get the money back. I doubt even TFG would stiff them. They aren't some small construction contractors who don't have the means and ability to go to court to get the money back.

[Hortensis]

36. And yet he did and does routinely refuse to pay his bills, which is why,

for instance, the big four firms who represent most really big political defendants long ago said they wouldn't represent tRump.

He doesn't pay his bills. He takes pride in being able to cheat others and goes to great lengths to do it. If he has to pay up front he'll likely sue to get his money back.

(The other 3 main reasons that no reputable firm will represent him are that other clients object and leave, desirable interns object and may refuse to sign on, and, another real biggie!, he doesn't follow their legal advice. Interestingly, I didn't hear sexual misbehavior involving female employees mentioned, but no doubt that was always extremely well known also.)

[Claustrum]

39. I looked at some of his payment toward those big firms back then (one of them is Jones Day).

They were routinely being paid. You can check his campaign payment back then. I checked because I wanted to know if the firm I worked for did work for him and they did. I think TFG got tired of paying and it is why the RNC took over paying for his "legal bills".

Seriously, do you think anyone can stiff the most famous law firms in the US and get away with it? Their whole job is to represent people in court daily and are some of the best legal minds in our country.

The main problem for representing TFG is that he doesn't follow legal advice and he would demand them to speak on camera about his "ideas" of defense, which none of them have any legal basis. It's a huge problem for law firms when your client steps in and asks why your attorney defended TFG with this non-sensical legal defense.

[Hortensis]

42. No, he doesn't get away with it. They don't represent him.

They don't need his business and don't want to be bothered with him.

But, sure, I got the distinct impression from one that refusal to follow legal advice may have been, regretfully, the bigger reason -- but that only after the head of this slimy little crime family became the Republican presidential nominee and then POTUS.

[Midnight Writer]

6. I reckon "even though they want to do it" part is a lie.

Who would want to deal with this lunatic?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

8. His fellow lawyer losers,

Sydney Powell, Rudy Guiliani, Jenna Ellis, oh wait, they're all under investigation.

[MyOwnPeace]

34. Amazingly enough, I am STILL.......

finding people that I once considered reasonably intelligent that are STILL supporting tRump. I'm not talking the 'typical' blue-collar, muscle-shirt MAGA type - I'm talking about college graduates - people I had considered reasonably intelligent people!
That being said, I would have to guess that you CAN find some "DEFEND THE GOP" people that will take on the challenge of defending the 'WORST POSSIBLE PIECE OF SHIT' to ever be in OUR White House, just to 'DEFEND THE GOP.'

[stopdiggin]

9. " .. even though they want to do it." Um .. no, Alan.

They're telling you a polite fiction - all the while edging out the door - and finding multiple 'conflicts' on their calendars. You stupid effing mope!

---- ----- ----- --------------- ----

[FakeNoose]

61. Exactly

If Dershowitz hasn't figured it out by now, he never will. Nobody in their right mind will risk their job, their law degree or their reputation to standup in court for Chump. Even Dersh himself won't do it anymore.

[GreenWave]

10. Just tell IQ 45 he can get a pubic defender for free if he is indigent..

Er, I meant public defender.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

11. LOL

[Ponietz]

18. Sure, he can just pay the standard reimbursal rate even if not indigent

It’s $700.00 for a non-capital felony. Same as the shameful oaf’s taxes.

[Marcuse]

12. I thought polite society wasn't speaking to Professor Underpants.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

14. Just enough to tell him to get bent and get lost. nt

[vlyons]

13. Having a reputation for stiffing your lawyers doesn't help

Poor old Donnie Dimwit, being a traitor, a Putin butt licker, being a notorious liar and idjit

lordy lordy!!! Maybe the DOJ will assign a pro bono lawyer to defend him. Now wouldn't that be funny?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

15. That would be hilarious.

[NoMoreRepugs]

17. I could not be happier that Shitstain Dershowitz

is losing speaking engagements because of his association with the SlobFather and I would assume Epstein.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

19. +100. nt

[gratuitous]

21. Sure Alan, everything was peachy keen for you

Oh, for those halcyon days before the former guy's second impeachment trial, when all you had to worry about were dinner invitations at homes on Martha's Vineyard and whether you kept your skivvies on while getting a massage. Yeah, it was only after you did your part for the nation in January 2021 that it all came crashing down. Keep telling yourself that, because nobody else is buying it.

And if there really were folks who wanted to represent Needy Amin for free (like I suspect you did), they could just resign from their firms, hang out their sole practitioner shingle, and defend the heck out of the former guy.

Dershowitz gets more craven by the minute.

[Pepsidog]

32. Alan, I kept my tidy whitey's on, Dershowitz just another disgraced Trump/Epstein

associate.

[WinstonSmith4740]

38. You bet.

And if there really were folks who wanted to represent Needy Amin for free (like I suspect you did), they could just resign from their firms, hang out their sole practitioner shingle, and defend the heck out of the former guy.

Yep. I think some of them just don't want to admit THEY don't want anything to do with him, so it not them...it's their firm, spouse, kids, etc.

[CatWoman]

24. I'm really sick of his whining

lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

25. Well,

he did lie down with a bloated tick.

[KentuckyWoman]

27. Did Dershowitz even get paid?

If so, he's about the only Trump employee that ever was paid as agreed.

[Pepsidog]

30. As a criminal defense attorney I have represented some pretty nasty people and believe we are all

entitled to good legal representation regardless of the alleged crime. With that said, you couldn’t pay me enough to represent this treacherous Traitor. He deserves the lawyers he has which ironically seem to be mostly women. Ain’t that a kick in the ass.

[Frasier Balzov]

31. Why doesn't Mark Levin represent Trump?

Levin is a lawyer with a national radio audience who constantly twists himself into a pretzel excusing Trump's every outrageous move.

I wonder why Levin doesn't step forward to lead a hand-picked team to defend the SOB?

[BidenRocks]

54. How about Judge Napalitano?

Judge Judy?

[Frasier Balzov]

68. Not to mention Saul Goodman I guess.

[jaxexpat]

33. Wadeuminute, won't the county provide him an attorney?

I read about it on Miranda.com or something.

[Historic NY]

35. Its a lost cause and he welches on paying.

[Warpy]

37. He's just a total nightmare of a client

Not only will he refuse to take legal advice, he won't pay up when the time comes, so they'd be working pro bono for a guy who claims to be a billionaire.

He's going to be lucky to get a PD right out of law school.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

41. You don't want to get Trump cooties do you?

[Cha]

44. Karma came to Dersh.. Does this also mean

that Dersh is separating himself from DT?

Idiot.. didn't take a brick wall to fall on his head or did ?

[MyOwnPeace]

48. Good 'Ole Dersh, running with the herd.......

and the herd grows by the day!

Last one out has to pick-up at the KFC drive-thru for the Slobfather!

[Cha]

60. Lol! Can you believe

after 6 years of DT's trying to Destroy America that it's actually come to this?!

Surreal!

[paleotn]

45. Actually, Alan, most DON'T want to do it....

even if their family and friends would let them. It's a loser and you won't even get paid. What's the point then?

[BumRushDaShow]

47. "Dershowitz said he lost job opportunities and many of his speaking engagements."

Good because he's an idiot.

[spanone]

49. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸WHAT A FINE MORAL MAN WE HAVE AS THE HEAD OF OUR NATION🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[electric_blue68]

57. I hope tour fingers didn't get all bent out if shape typing...

that!

The first and so far only time I did a big multi single emoji post -
I did a row of 5 then I realized I could cut, and paste that whole row repeatedly!
And mine was only double spaced 6 rows?

👍

[spanone]

59. I cut & paste too, but the first time....I didn't know either.

[Evolve Dammit]

50. You mean Epstein's buddy who fucked minors but was "only in his underwear"? Seriously?

That is so worse than "I never inhaled."

[MarineCombatEngineer]

53. I think you meant your reply for post 49.

[electric_blue68]

55. Ooooops Hi MCE I'll switch it

[MarineCombatEngineer]

56. No problem.

[electric_blue68]

58. 👍

[COL Mustard]

62. Alan has gone from

Dershowitz to Doucheowitz. Just like Rudy went from Giuliani to Ghouliani.

It’s true…ETTD.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

64. Perfect.

[Swede]

65. Dude, take fucking clue.

Radioactive orange fuckhead is bad news.

[ecstatic]

69. Lol @ husbands, wives, children won't let them do it

If so, that's really cool that they respect their family's wishes. Some people become more arrogant and stubborn as their power and success increases.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

71. Let's see,

whom do I choose, the wife, kids, friends, or Benedict Donald?
Well, that's a no brainer.
Bye bye Benedict, hope you enjoy prison and all the wonderful amenities it offers.

[LiberalFighter]

70. Every reputable attorney? I guess he isn't one.

[msfiddlestix]

74. "even though they want to do it"

These attorneys "called" him? ????!!!!!




These attorney's friends, husbands and wives, daughters, won't let them do it, even theu want to do it.

Cry me a fucking river you fucking sleeze ball.
