Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz was involved in at least a dozen successful campaigns for clemency for various figures throughout the Trump administration, putting his personal connections to the White House to use on his clients' behalf, The New York Times first reported.

An investigation from the newspaper published Monday revealed Dershowitz, an opinion contributor for The Hill, to have been personally involved in a number of campaigns for pardons or commutations of sentences ranging from inmates on death row to high-profile figures such as George Nader, an adviser to former President Trump's White House transition team who was convicted as part of the Russia special counsel investigation.

Dershowitz confirmed his efforts on behalf of a number of people in an interview with The Hill on Monday evening, saying that the "vast majority" of the cases were pro bono efforts to free people who had refused to plead guilty in their trials.

"I am very proud that I was able to use my contacts with the president to try to save lives and bring people home to their families. I wish I had succeeded more," he said.

Pay for play?

1. There you go. Besides the Epstein angle, there was another reason or Dersh to act the fool...

Now that Trump can't issue pardons, the Epstein angle remains to explain current behavior.

2. He probably made seven figures in the process.

3. How much $$$$$$$$$ did he get for his "services"?

4. Dersh the douche is so altruistic....

... his only motivations are justice, righteousness, freedom, and liberty.

Everytime he lifts a finger the work is pro bono.

12. In other words he's a F******g Lawyer.

I recognize that access to legal help is a dicey thing and that anyone who stands before the bar is doing a job they get paid for, one way or another. Dersh is the kind of guy who we don't need in legal circles or political circles, and just possibly has a history with Epstein which won't bear examination. He certainly has one with DJT and his personal circle.

5. Surprise, surprise!!! Douchewitz is on the grift.

6. I must be a truly lousy judge of character.

Many years ago I admired this creep.

7. "To save lives." Up your bastard! They are criminals.

8. Dershowitz is just an opportunist looking for make money and get himself on TV

He has no morals ..no decency at all..Just like his pal Donald

9. and in spite of this the hill will keep this asswipe on as an "opinion contributor" ? nt

10. Nader isn't in jail because of the Russia investigation. He pleaded to child pornography/abuse..

...crimes that were discovered when the Feds were looking through his phones under a subpoena connected to the other investigations. In 2020, he received a 10 year sentence.

He did not receive a pardon. Even in TraitorTrumpland, possession of videos of minors (including pre-school age children) involving actual bestiality were probably a bridge too far.

But somehow, Dersh trying to get him clemency doesn't seem all that odd.

11. Dershowitz's name is on a bunch of the pardons

[Nocturnowl]

13. Dershowitz is Scum

Actually, that's an insult to scum!

This piece of shit is as corrupt any sleaze ball connected to Trump. I hope the hell his days as "freeman" is numbered.
