And trust me, he has NOT been an INDEPENDENT. Bashing Joe Biden and Democrats. Claiming everything TSF does is necessary AND constitutional.

Leaving the DemocratIC party is merely ceremonial.

Sat Sep 7, 2024, 08:27 AM
Sep 2024

"When Jeffrey Epstein found out in 2005 that he was being investigated by police for the sexual abuse of underage girls, he called Alan Dershowitz.

A Harvard Law School professor and high-profile defense lawyer, Dershowitz helped negotiate a “non-prosecution agreement” under which Epstein served just 13 months in a county jail, much of it spent on “work release” in an office. "

also "allegations by two women who say that they were directed to have sex with Dershowitz while in Epstein’s orbit. Dershowitz vehemently denies both allegations."

Maybe even two decades.

Seems he's simply making it "official".

The guy's 'claim to fame' was being the lawyer for the guy that was suspected of killing his wife (she was in a coma and later died, under 'mysterious' circumstances). Claus Von Bulow and his wife Sonny.

They made a movie out of it. It is called "Reversal of Fortune" (1990). It had Jeremy Irons as Claus, Glenn Close as Sonny, and Ron Silver (who was another "Democrat" turned Repuke after 9/11) as Alan Dershowitz.
