Wambulance Driver For The Trump PR Effort Alan Dershowitz

Alan Dershowitz said that James Comey "Talks too much". 

Wait, let me rephrase that ALAN DERSHOWITZ! said that James Comey "Talks too much."  Well, he is the guy who called one of his too many books "Chutzpah".

Don't think I'm sticking up for James Comey because I pretty much dislike the guy as much as I do the Dersh, but for all the things he has to answer for Comey is a petty offender as compared to the self-styled "Constitutional Law Expert at Hah-vahd."

I do blame Harvard for Dershowitz.  If he hadn't worked at Harvard Law he'd be no more than the former Rolls Royce ambulance chaser he's been,  the Trump coverup's wambulance driver wherever he can get them to put his lying puss on the screen.  The man is a total and complete disgrace, lying his head off, a one-man post-truth squad.  His claim that Mike Flynn lying to the FBI isn't a crime reminds me of how he successfully got away with documented plagiarism due to Harvard clearly not caring that one of its media star was doing things that they would discipline or throw out a student for doing. 

People who ask what happened to the original Dershowitz who peddled himself as a civil libertarian but I don't think anything happened to him, I think he's always been like this he's just gotten more himself as time rides him off into the sunset.  The man is an especially sleazy lawyer who will tell any lie no matter how transparent and obvious to sway the jury of public opinion or, failing that, to confuse the issues.   I can't say he's the most disgusting lawyer surrounding the most corrupt person to have ever held the office of the presidency, in people like Rudy Giuliani and those he's fired or who have fled, it's not an easy thing to sort that box of rotting fish. 

It's the media's fault for putting the guy on all these years, peddling himself as something I've read real lawyers know he isn't, an expert in Constitutional law.  What he is is a media lawyer in the mode of Giuliani and a flack and a hack.  One lawyer I read said what he's good at is just what I said above, swaying juries, one of the things that has probably made him the lawyer of choice among ultra-rich guys and celebrities who murder their wives.    The guy stinks, and that's before you start to figure in his friendship to criminals who are let off like Jeffrey Epstein Hiis tactics in that are identical to his slime campaign against Norman Finkelstein, dig up dirt on the mostly powerless and poor plaintiffs, harvesting from their social media.  It's remarkable they only recently started leaving him off the guest list on The Vinyard, or, given the milieu he whined about being excluded from, maybe unremarkable.   You'd think they'd have noticed the stench long ago, but the rich and famous are a pretty stinking awful bunch, by and large, which is relevant to why Harvard hasn't cut ties with him.  You really have to stink before they notice.

  1. There is NOTHING Dershowitz claims that holds up to legal scrutiny, which is why he says it in TeeVee rather than a courtroom or appellate hearing.

    Law professors know (the good ones) that their opinions seldom apply in the real world (the courtroom) and few of them ever go there. The bad ones pontificate like they are the true word on The Law.

    And below that you find Dershowitz.

    1. It is just so nauseating to hear him held up as if he's anything but the same kind of sleaze that Michael Cohen is when he's essentially got the same career. Apart, perhaps, from him having a side angle in the way of taxi medallions and I wouldn't be surprised if there was something even shadier in some of the rumors about Dershowitz being true.

      I remember back when Gary Trudeau used to depict another media lawyer, Geraldo Rivera as odors and flies rising off of a TV. He should revive it for Dershowitz because he's another one who has a similar function in public life.
