Better theme: Can Dershowitz be tried on a new indictment following the secret (at the time) full immunity granted for any criminal involved with Jeffrey Epstein or the pubescent underage girls he exploited for child sex blackmail. When a federal prosecutor (disgracefully, as recognized subsequently) granted immunity,, does that immunity stand as a basis for denial of free speech in connection with publically bringing up underlaying accusations of serial underage child rape and interstate child sex trafficking.. BTW the immunity grant was invalidated three years later since Dershowitz had been apparently unaware that its secrecy violated the Federal Victims rights Law. Can that original grant of immunity function as estoppel to 1) completion of the FBI criminal investigation of Dershowitz based on these allegations and 2) a barrier to a new indictment given the lack of time bar for such offenses`?
Big Happy Birthday to Alan, the survivor who escaped a day in court, and who furthermore escaped giving a detailed account of his Epstein-related activities. He did say he did not do what he was accused of, and extraordinarily claimed he kept his underpants on at all times. We need conrext from Dershowitz. So what was he as a 73 plus year old doing in only underwear in houses with drugged underage child sex slaves? Obviously keeping underwear on, even if true, does not prevent commision of a child sex crime. Mens underwear have a hole large enough for ingress and egress. Dersh did not claim he was wearing womens underwear. . Some Epstein victims are not all alive today to celebrate their birthdays. Trapped into post-traumatic stress and the drugs used to make them compliant, some of the victims are deceased after a gritty, bleak post-Epstein life,(and allegedly post Dershowitz life) and some reportedly committed suicide. So have a good one Alan. but what the world needs from you is a detailed truthful accounting of your decade plus time with Jeffrey Epstein. Your identification of the names of the potentially blackmailed adults who partook in child sex, in other words, everything you know or heard (or eventually read from Epstein's black book) will be a proper memorial of your 86th birthday. That plus atonement for for example preventing these allegations from coming to both criminal and civil trial court.
The question isn't, "if you have a platform, do you have an obligation to censor what's on it?" The question is, "if you have a right-wing platform, do you have to worry about being sent to prison for what's on it?" Because we all know France isn't going to arrest Mark Zuckerburg.
Regarding Jack Smith and Trump, Alan is still treating this as a legal case. It is not. It never was. All that matters is getting some kind o charge to a jury that will be 90%+ Biden supporters The facts don't matter.
The facts may matter a lot if the facts show criminal collusion of the DOJ, WH COUNSEL, and NARA COUNSEL. And missing documents after the SC and FBI handled them. Trump is suing the DOJ for the MAL raid for $100M. Perhaps to make the evidence public.
All of that is secondary and will be adjudicated long after Nov. The entire focus of NY and DC has been "keep Trump from getting re-elected." Once that's done, Jack Smith and Alvin Bragg might not even significantly contest the appeals. (They probably will just to save face and continue the fiction that these cases are purely about law enforcement, not political, but their real job will be done.)
Procedural liberalism is dead at this point. There will be folks like Alan and Bari Weiss and Andrew Sullivan who play Weekend at Bernies with the Enlightenment's corpse until it really starts to smell, but we live in a Nietzschean world instead of a Lockean one now. I've accepted that. So if Trump does win, I want him to use all the tools of the federal govt to hurt the Dems. Not for revenge, but to demonstrate to the Left that we can play the same game (locking up political opponents) and make them fear ever trying it again. But I don't think Trump has the attention span or focus to do it. He's not Franco or Bukele or Duterte.
In 1898, William Randolph Hearst famously said attempting to create more readership for his newspaper: "If It Bleeds, It Leads. No Matter Whose Blood It Is." Nothing has changed. This is just Smith attempting to interfere with the November election by promoting negative headlines against Trump. There are studies that show that negative headlines get far more clicks than positive headlines. Smith's fake and invalid indictments are nothing more than Yellow Journalism...
Jack Smith is illegitimate. Garland lacks the constitutional and statutory authority to appoint him.
There is no office created for an SC “by law” (congress), and no confirmation by the Senate.

I like that: “Don’t waste your vote on any of the Trump trials, especially the Manhattan one missing a crime”
Happy Birthday Dersh!

Happy birthday! Wow!
I saw through canvassing the fraud here in AZ. Especially mail in ballots. Please, time to ask more questions re: election fraud.
Happy Birthday Alan
Happy Birthday by the way!
