Showing Original Post only (View all)Alan Dershowitz says every reputable attorney he's spoken with has told him their firms 'won't let t [View all]
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.

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

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

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