Alan Morton Dershowitz (born September 1, 1938) is an American lawyer and law professor known for his work in U.S. constitutional law and American criminal law. From 1964 to 2013, he taught at Harvard Law School, where he was appointed as the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law in 1993.

As of 2009, he had won 13 of the 15 murder and attempted murder cases he handled as a criminal appellate lawyer. Dershowitz has represented such celebrity clients as Mike Tyson, Patty Hearst, Leona Helmsley, Julian Assange, and Jim Bakker. Major legal victories have included two successful appeals that overturned convictions, first for Harry Reems in 1976, then in 1984 for Claus von Bülow, who had been convicted of the attempted murder of his wife, Sunny. In 1995, Dershowitz served as the appellate adviser on the murder trial of O. J. Simpson, part of the legal "Dream Team", alongside Johnnie Cochran and F. Lee Bailey. He was a member of Harvey Weinstein's defense team in 2018 and of President Donald Trump's defense team in his first impeachment trial in 2020. He was a member of Jeffrey Epstein's defense team and helped to negotiate a 2006 non-prosecution agreement on Epstein's behalf. Dershowitz is the author of several books about politics and the law, including Reversal of Fortune: Inside the von Bülow Case (1985), the basis of the 1990 film;
Chutzpah (1991); Reasonable Doubts: The Criminal Justice System and the O. J. Simpson Case (1996); The Case for Israel (2003); and The Case for Peace (2005). His two most recent works are The Case Against Impeaching Trump (2018) and Guilt by Accusation: The Challenge of Proving Innocence in the Age of #MeToo (2019).An ardent Zionist and supporter of Israel, he has written several books on the Arab–Israeli conflict.

“They were so taken up by kind of legal technicalities that they didn’t see the big issues,” Dershowitz said. “It’s shocking to me that these lawyers, both of whom are relatively experienced, just didn’t get it.” |

Dershowitz joins Miami Herald effort to get full list of Epstein ‘John Does’ unsealed
MIAMI — Famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz has asked the judge in a previously settled and sealed libel suit involving Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime girlfriend, to unseal a full list of “J. Does” — associates of the sex-trafficking multimillionaire who were named in the course of the litigation. The judge this week unsealed the file — and released the first 1,000 pages of documents — but did not provide a who’s-who index of those who had come up as witnesses, victims or colleagues of the notorious couple. Dershowitz, who was a friend of and lawyer for the late financier, is piggybacking on a motion made by The Miami Herald, which spent years in court trying to get the full, unredacted file unsealed, finally succeeding this week.

Even Lou Dobbs seems tired of the Hunter Biden investigation
The Republican Party’s evidence-less investigation of Hunter Biden’s business affairs continues to reveal … nothing new or criminal on the part of President Joe Biden. Rep. Andy Biggs is on the Republican Hunter Biden fishing expedition committee, which is chaired by Rep. James Comer. Biggs went on “Lou Dobbs Tonight” to discuss all of the nothing he has been able to find on Joe and Hunter Biden. Biggs tells Dobbs that while they think Hunter Biden is guilty of something, they clearly do not have enough evidence to do anything legal about it. Dobbs, whose painting of Howdy Doody in the attic must look ancient by now, seems pretty fed up with it all.

The Fox Business Network has canceled Lou Dobbs Tonight, The Los Angeles Times reports. I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did, but, then again, Fox has been very patient with conspiracy theorists. 5, 4 , 3, 2 , 1...and the cry of Dobbs being a victim of "cancel culture" from the Domestic Trump Terrorist Maga wing of the GOP begins... Without Lou Dobbs, Trump loses one of his most trusted disinformation sources. --Zorek Richards 2/5/21
