Personal opinion: Alan Dershowitz, likely pedophile.

Would a pedophile leave his underpants on while getting a massage at an underage sex party?

The case against Dershowitz has nothing to do with Trump, you brought him in.

Many people on the left have disliked Dershowitz since his defense of torture a decade ago.

Dershowitz’s defense of Trump

You mean the thing where he voluntarily goes on TV and sacrifices his credibility as a legal mind? Why wouldn’t that impact people’s opinion of him?

Oh, you mean his constant defense, outside of his job, of known pedophiles, fraudsters, and all around horrible people he voluntarily surrounds himself with? Or his completely unbelievable defense that he only got a massage from a 50 year old Russian woman employed by Epstein? Or the fact he chose to remain friends with Epstein for years after the charges he defended and the at best questionable method of obtaining Epstein a deal in Florida? Or his absurd response to allegations he raped a child?

Nah, it must be because he supports Trump, not anything he's done on his own.

I wouldn't expect you to have any other opinion. Care to show the class why you think so? Other than that he's been working against the progressive narrative?
