    Alan Dershowitz who, in 2008, helped negotiate a plea deal that gave Jeffrey Epstein and an untold number of his co-conspirators immunity for sex trafficking dozens of underage girls and illegally failed to notify any of the victims before the deal was signed? That Alan Dershowitz?

    Everyone on the Epstein files needs to shut the fuck up about being a judge of character. Even the ones who did nothing wrong are obviously terrible at that.

    Dershowitz argued that public opinion could shift if federal investigators are able to prove she provided false information on her citizenship application or that someone else submitted false information on her behalf.

    According to Wikipedia, she became a US citizen when she was 17, and if the latter was the case, presumably another, not her, would be culpable.

    Is Dershowitz becoming kind of like a birther?

      Defender of OJ, Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and Trump. And who lobbied for a pardon for a man who was convicted of transporting CSAM twice. He served his first term. Got out. And did it again. And Dershowitz thought he should be pardoned!
