I didn't realize he meant to paint a target on it." ....He should apologize, but he won't." Dershowitz’s...

SNIP It reported Sharon Churcher, a British tabloid journalist, urged Giuffre in 2011 to include me in her book proposal, despite the absence of any evidence I did anything wrong, because I’m famous and represented high-profile clients. Giuffre told Churcher over email she had a ghostwriter to tell her story about being victimized by Epstein, saying, “I wanted to put the names of those a–holes, oops I meant to say, pedo’s, that J.E. sent me to.” “Don’t forget Alan Dershowitz,” Churcher replied. “J.E. buddy and lawyer — good name for your pitch as he repped Claus van Bulow and a...

One, a subject of "intense media coverage," was allowed to remain anonymous and pursue an appeal. A judge agreed to make public the names of several "John Does" who tried to keep their identities secret in the long-running litigation between Jeffrey Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell and Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein victim.

Friday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz reacted to former President Barack Obama’s criticism of Israel in the wake of the October 7 terror attacks on its southern territory. Dershowitz suggested Obama’s criticism was a result of the “deep hatred” Obama had for Israel. “Do you think Obama understands what his words have meant?” FBN host Maria Bartiromo asked. “I think so,” Dershowitz replied. “I think he always had a deep hatred of Israel in his heart. He hid it very well. He called me to the Oval Office, and he said Alan,...

Despite the headlines about pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses, in cities around the world and on the Arab street, there has not been a single rally that is actually pro-Palestinian. All have been anti-Israel, pro-Hamas, pro-terrorism and often antisemitic. None has called for a two-state solution. Instead, attendees have chanted about eliminating Jews “from the river to the sea” — which is all of Israel. The most anti-Palestinian entity in the world is Hamas. It has killed and exiled elected officials from the Palestinian Authority. It has stolen food, fuel and medical supplies from the Palestinian people. It has used...

I can’t help it. Life really has been imitating “The Holy Grail” for the past couple of days. Suddenly, aggressive, radically pro-Palestinian protestors are scrambling like ki-niggets to run away, discarding their menacing faux-face garb and vicious anti-Israel rhetoric as they scurry off like rats. I am sure there are more than one pair of soiled drawers that now need laundering at the thought of jeopardizing, oh, say…that prized SIX FIGURE JOB offer in one’s pocket.... The blithering excuse-making and blatant prevarication is so patently ridiculous, it begs the question on its own – why would anyone hire these people?…Famed...

The four criminal trials currently scheduled for former President Donald Trump are amongst the most significant and controversial trials in American history. It is imperative that they also be among the fairest trials in our history. Regardless of the results—acquittal, conviction, hung jury—the trials must be perceived as having been fair. The defendant must receive the benefit of all of his constitutional and statutory rights. Not only is Donald Trump on trial in these cases, but the American system of justice is on trial, not only in America but around the world. The defendant is not only a former president;...

President Biden has often made reference to his close relationship with Israel and Israeli leaders over the last half century as a way of proving his bona fides on matters relating to the Jewish state. The Obama administration had badly strained those relationships, but when Biden was elected in 2020, many hoped and some predicted that his would be an administration far friendlier to Israel. And on the surface it has been; the steady current of hostility that emanated from Obama’s White House has not been present in Biden’s. Still, more than halfway through the 46th president’s term, the facts...

Just how bad has David Weiss handled the investigation into Hunter Biden and the multiple allegations of tax fraud and weapons charges? Alan Dershowitz lamented the decision to keep the man who attempted to engineer a smelly plea deal as special counsel, scoffing at the notion that Weiss has demonstrated any independence at all.Instead, Dershowitz called on his friend of 40 years, Joe Biden, to “appoint an independent outside special counsel to investigate the relationship between Hunter Biden and President Biden.” Dersh wants to be able to vote for Biden next year, but if the only independent probe into Biden...

During an appearance on Fox News, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz suggested the country was getting much closer to “banana republic” status following former President Donald Trump’s indictment in Fulton County, GA. Dershowitz said the country had moved from two bananas to “three, maybe four” after the Georgia indictment. “[T]he idea is we are all part of the United States, and we have one rule for Democrats, one rule for Republicans, one rule for Martha’s Vineyard, one rule for Nantucket, one rule for Georgia,” he said. “And you cannot start making crimes out of things that the Democrats did....

“This changes the rules of the game,” Dershowitz said. “This basically says RICO is not just applicable to organized crime or to organized, commercial crime with hierarchies, but it also applies to protests against election results. It’s going to deter and chill people from challenging legitimate election results.”

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Monday that District Attorney Fani Willis had indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 others for a “conspiracy” that was exactly what Democrats did in challenging the 2000 election. The tactics of the Trump team, including claims of fraud, were neither more nor less than what Democrats had done in claiming that the election had been stolen from then-Vice President Al Gore by Republicans pushing for then-Governor George W. Bush. Fox News reported: Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, speaking to Fox News Digital, criticized the pending indictment, calling Trump’s actions “very similar” to...

Martha’s Vineyard can’t turn the page on Alan Dershowitz. The Harvard Law professor and longtime island denizen says his works have been banished from the local book fair. “I’ve been canceled,” Dershowitz, 84, told Newsmax host Greta Greta Van Susteren Friday. “My books are not allowed to be sold at the Martha’s Vineyard Chilmark book fair because I defended Donald Trump. Until I defended Donald Trump, my books were featured every year at the book fair.”
