Alan Dershowitz Files $300 Million Lawsuit Against CNN for Portraying Him as an 'Intellectual...

Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against CNN, claiming the cable news network, together with their hosts and panelists, intentionally created a false narrative about what the famed criminal defense attorney argued while defending the president during impeachment proceedings earlier this year.
Dershowitz’s allegations stem from news coverage of his argument about the kind of quid pro quos a sitting president may engage in while office—provided that the exchange is done with the intent of winning re-election in the public interest and not in violation of some law. While his theory was widely panned by attorneys and legal experts across the media, Dershowitz claimed that CNN intentionally omitted portions of his argument to make it appear as though he was arguing “the exact opposite of what he said.”
The specific exchange at the crux of the controversy came when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) asked Dershowitz if it mattered whether there was a quid pro quo arrangement in Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.
“The only thing that would make a quid pro quo unlawful is if the ‘quo’ were in some way illegal,” Dershowitz responded, saying there were “three possible motives” a political figure could have for their conduct: a motive in the public interest, a motive in his own political interest, and a motive in his own financial interest.

I like the photo- it shows what a nut job Douche-Witz is.
Although I'm no lawyer, and I don't play one on TV, I think his theories about why DFT is above the law are just plain nuts.

Does his argument rest on the theory that re-electing Trump is in the public interest? Good luck with that.

To the Editor:
There will be no cocktail parties on Martha’s Vineyard this summer because of COVID-19. On the positive side, Alan Dershowitz won’t be able to whine about being shunned.

I'm looking forward to the shunning stories next summer.

He was never an intellectual.
Also, it's rather difficult to lose something you never had in the first place.
Derp, I mean Dersh.
Whatever all this is, it will come out. Just waiting for the day.
I love to watch them flail, impotently.
When they do discovery on his damages, I can just hear the questions now: "So was your reputation ruined even more than when you admitted you had 14 year old girls "massage" you while you were wearing nothing but tighty whities?"
as an old man. He LIVES!
Abe Simpson that is...
