From alan Dershowitz

I generally do not respond to mendacious bigots like Greg Starr, but I must set the record straight because everything he has said is demonstratively false. It is true I was falsely accused of having sex with a woman when she was an adult, but she then withdrew her lawsuit, and admitted she may have confused me with someone else. No hush money or other payments were made.

When the false accusation was first made, I published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal demanding that I be criminally investigated and put on trial, waiving all privacy and other confidentiality, because I did nothing wrong and wanted- and still want- the whole truth to come out. I have continued to insist that all Epstein documents be immediately released. I have nothing to hide: I have had sex with only my wife since the day I met Jeffrey Epstein.

Now there will be a trial, if Mr. Starr provides his contact information so he can be served by my lawyers for malicious defamation. Let’s see who really wants the truth to come out.

Day 2475 of the Epstein-Dershowitz pedophile organization cover-up.

Wow! Dershowitz deleted my answer to his diatribe. The answer focused on published reports of his long-term activity with Jeffrey Epstein, the depositions of underage children who complained of rape, the means by which he pressured a Federal District Attorney to grant him a SECRET and full immunity from prosecution for pedophilic activity (Non-Prosecution Agreement), the fate of that immunity and the negotiations to get an accuser to drop her complaint in return for hush money. Sources include the Miami Herald's three part series by Julie Brown,and Carolyn Bruch's article in New Yorker July 29,2019 article on the "Devil Advocate". The point here is illumination of Dershowitz's credibility, morality and judgement, all very relevant to his Dershow podcast meant to restore his reputation

Dershowitz writes that he will sue both me and Jack Schlossberg for defamation. That may actually upend the Dershowitz-Epstein cover-up. A defamation lawsuit exposes Dershowitz to Discovery, a legal requirement that he produce inter alia

1) all evidence about involvement with Epstein and the underage girls, and

2), Derhowitz's wife-beating of Sue Barlach (see Judge Haskell Freedman's ruling) resulting in serious physical harm and psychological abuse which led both to hospitalization and a need for long-term psychiatric treatment. Barlach was the mother of two of Dershowitz's children. Barlach was found in the East River.

Furthermore, truth is a complete defense. He must prove actual malice. The long running cover-up is very relevant since its object is to hide the truth.

Still further to win a defamation case Dershowitz must prove damage to his reputation. And what is his reputation, what is there to damage?. Here is a representative extract from 352 comments relating to Yahoo New's article about Dershowitz's announcement of a defamation lawsuit against Schlossberg:

!) "AD dodged a bullet when Epstein checked out";

2)"Alan: I got a massage from one of Epstein's underage kids.But I kept my underpants on"

3)" AD-you are as bad as the pedophiles you represent, probably worse"

4)"A little man with a little p...maybe he did it"

5)"no one would kiss that guy unless forced"

4)"If you have enough money, you can walk away free after geriatric virgin deflowering"

5)"Shouldn't that creep move to Tel Aviv"

6)"Nebish weaponization of the legal system It's all he's got"

7)Just follow MacArthur's advice, Alan, and fade away"

8) "AD to this day denies he took off his underpants while visiting Pedophile Island. They were deep brown and flecked with grey spots when he arrived on the mainland."

9) D's rep is already damaged due to his prior representation of prominent criminals including Jeffrey Epstein, George Nader, OJ, Roman Polanski and Harvey Weinstein

10" D was maybe trying on gloves while engaging with the naked kids

Schlossberg's podcast description looks like SNL parody based on Judge Freedman's ruling:

"Everyone knows I killed my wife I've got thousand sex assault cases against me. I look like a human penis. I'm comfortably (indecipherable) and I've never had consensual sex ...Oh s.--t, that's you!."

Thank you, Alan, for finally responding to Mr. Starr's ongoing rantings against you. I wish there was some way you could delete his responses completely from these newsletters! Maybe he needs to find another outlet for his anger like stamp collecting, overseas travel or better yet, draft a novel titled "How I hate Alan Dershowitz!" I doubt he would ever finish it.

Professor Dershowitz, I challenge you to take a polygraph test on when you “discovered” that the impeachment clause of the US Constitution is essentially inoperable. Your defenses of Trump would make it basically impossible to impeach and remove a President who is a threat to the country. I think you are a liar. I think on issues that are visceral you are a Trumper and used your status to lie about the Covstitution to protect this man. You have done irreparable harm to this country. You are disgusting!

Why do you believe Dersh is innocent of the multiple charges of pedophila when he so assiduously avoided trial, first by an ill-fated corruption of a DA to win secret full immunity for pedo activithy and then by payment of a million dollars in hush money. Might you have less than normal common sense or is it just that you do not read widely.?

Dubious comments Mr. Starr. And off the subject of this thread. Please do not attack anyone or target anyone via a post that addresses what is an extremely important; but unrelated topic, if TRUE. The Constitution provides everyone the assumption of innocence until PROVEN in a court decision they are found guilty, not before. I agree with his position on this thread's subject, full stop.

As to your comments, give it time, and gain some credibility by not being like the Tesla-Terrorists. Go build a case on Epstein Island related posts, being unclassified, or so I've read. But don't overlook that our Chief Justice was also on Epstein Island. Perhaps I am wrong, so I ask; do you make similar comments on posts regarding everyone on the flight lists? I hope you can see why you appear to be like a left wing nut job, waiting to pounce on his every post of someone you detest? Many of us share your sentiments, again if true.

You are on the losing end of a long evolved moral evolution of all the Abrahamic religions as well as the Enlightenment. Accused participation in organized pedophilia is such a moral ande legal outrage that it has relevance to everything the accused does. But there i something worse. You have been alerted to this outrage, yet you support it without researching it- - -just as the cover up is intended for.

PROSECUTING DERSHOWITZ..Starting point is his active participation in the ongoing cover-up of evidence of the Epstein pedophile grooming gang. This provided over a couple decades 250, mostly underage, girls to designated males enticed into sexual predation with minors. Available evidence is that Epstein filmed the sexual activity and blackmailed to get information, financing and cooperation on behalf of Mossad, an Israeli intel agency active in the USA.

Dershowitz's involvement in the cover up comprises

1) numerous intrusive defamation lawsuits against indigent underage children whistleblowing about the rapes,

2)similar lawsuits against their pro bono attorneys and efforts to get them disbarred,

3)Dershowitz's conspicuous non-cooperation with unravelling the activities and participants of the Epstein gang,

4) Derhowitz's "improper" (determined by Florida Bar, DOJ investigator and ultimately federal court) methods of bullying,pressuring and corrupting a federal prosecutor to issue full and secret "non-prosecution agreement" stopping and sealing the Palm Beach police criminal investigation of him

5) and responsibility for payment of at least one million dollars to one accuser for a "Non-Disparagement Agreement", silencing her.just as the Epstein Estate pays compensation to the child victims only if they sign a "Non-Disclosure Agreement"

THE LAW. Dershowitz has been accused by child victims of personal sexual criminality: serial pedophilic rapes ,interstate child trafficking for sexual purposes and failure to obey mandatory State Reporting Law relating to child abuse.. The ongoing cover up of the criminal pedo investigations restricts availability of further evidence supporting eventual further charges. There have been rumors some of the underage children died under sexual torture. The non-prosecution agreement has been revoked by federal court, and there is no statute of limitations for the allegations of child rape and trafficking.

INDICTING DERSHOWITZ is he, as Robert Hur described Biden, incompetent due to age or memory? Does his now characteristic pugnacity and anger exemplified by his genocide inciting and excusing leitmotifs of "there are no innocents in Gaza" and "the IDF is the most moral army in the world" support a diagnosis that he may be too unbalanced to indict for pedo activities?

Lots of accusations. Given the hatred of anyone associated with Trump, why would no one in the Biden administration investigate & charge if appropriate? The media has generally been pretty quiet on this topic. Why is that? It is hard to believe that those with such raging TDS, wouldn’t have reported on this nonstop. You used lots of words, but where is evidence from those who must have investigated something you make sound so awful? Right now, I tend to believe Alan Dershowitz, he has a long career of standing up to for Constitutionality, even when many are against him.

greg starr's avatar

Please inform as to how the issue of "standing" could be resolved? What would I charge him with that could give me sufficient standing.? I cannot sue him just because some children say he raped them. I cannot sue on behalf of Alex Acosta. I cannot sue him when he claims to have been "exonerated" of the pedo allegations when Virginia says she never "exonerated " him. I cannot sue him for responsibility which a judge rightly or inadequately placed on Dershowitz in connection with Sue Barlach. Prosecution of these matters is reserved for those with standing, those directly impacted by the actions complained of. or for public prosecutorial agencies.

I could sue for defamation with standing because Dersh wrote specifically and without evidence yesterday that I am a Jew Hater and antisemitic But he is characteristically uninventive in his emotionally charged epithets and empirically uses these two terms as replacements for his middle finger.

My Marines and I, of the day, would gladly put ourselves into harms way to defend your right to provide full and ample defense of any client you chose to represent. John Henry did you favor. He showed his true colors, he’s a coward, worse deep down he knows he is a coward, and the good news is you know that you are not a coward and have fought bullies all your life. So no amount of money, private yachts and planes are going to make John Henry less a coward. It just makes him “feel” better, well sorta, maybe??? Kinda. Nope he can never wipe coward out of his brain housing group, so misery accompanies him for all his days…We Marines never have to worry if we have made a difference, we don’t have that problem, and neither do you. When the game comes on turn it off, grab a book and sit in the sun. Life is short and John Henry only made his world smaller by kicking you out of his. Carry on defending those you wish to defend.

No. "Les Miserable" is not relevant to accusations of serial pedo rape and shame on you for your unwillingness to act to deter this organized pedophilia . With its all too easily corruptible legal system, America needs Inspector Javier to bring justice in country where the rich seem to be exempt from prosecution. Let us at least compromise and make an exception to rich man privilege such that the rich cannot get away with impunity with child rape.

You mean you do not like persistent prosecutors? You want the elite to escape trial because of their money and influence and ability to cover up? Or you approve of forced child prosecution when an intel organization uses it as a honey trap? You do not approve of equal justice for all? You think Dersh i being persecuted by an Inspector Javier- like commentator? Or Dersh is so important to the cause of hard core zionism and the subjugation of an indigenous semitic population that s American we should just overlook Dersh's alleged participation in an organization responsìble for raping 250 American children ?

Ot you would tell Simen Wiesenthal to "get a life" and stop being a Nazi hunter? Or Jefferson Morley should get a life instead of trying to get thru the fog of the JFK cover up? Or do you think it is hopeless to seek trial for Dersh because he has the support of Mossad, Likud, Netanyahu, AIPAC, ADL and the Mega Group and they have so much ownership of American institutions, it is not realistic to try to deter industrialized pedophilia by putting Dersh on trial?

I've always thought that being a Republican or Democrat is more tribal than ideological, kind of like being a Yankees fan or a Boston Red Sox fan. The parties have of course become more ideological in the last twenty years; the days of "liberal Republicans" and "conservative Democrats" are long gone. But it's hardly surprising that the owner of a baseball team should treat his politics the way he treats his team ownership. In Henry's mind, Dershowitz has crossed the line and is now rooting for the other team.

Shameful of the Henries. Funny that I literally moments ago did a YouGov survey where the subject was how you interact (or refuse to) with people who think differently politically. Would you stop being friends with a Democrat, etc. And you're not even a Republican voter, you just did your job, and they can't be friends anymore. Truly disgraceful. It's about time Democrats stop talking about how toxic our political discourse has become when they've led the way in that regard. There are many fine, decent Democrats like our professor here, but polls have consistently shown that Democrat voters are much more likely to cut people out of their lives for thinking and voting differently than Republicans. Sad.

Alan, I have lost many “friends” over my support of Donald Trump. And I suspect I will lose more now that he has removed the security clearance from big law firms that couldn’t wait to join in the weaponization of government to screw over Donald Trump. They thought they’d never have to pay a price. I don’t truly believe that his (Trump’s) response is unconstitutional. Suspending security clearances is something he is empowered to do. And canceling contracts also. The clients of these firms will leave in droves. As well they should. Any firm that could countenance Marc Pomerantz and Andrew Weissmann needs to think about what they laughingly are now self righteously calling the rule of law. They didn’t care at all about that even though they knew it was wrong. So. I’ll be losing friends among that crew also. When people show you who they are you have to believe them.

Really Stephen. Dersh does not normally present Law in his Dershow. He presents an ideological narrative. Of course he omits what he did for about 20 years with the Epstein Pedo Grooming Gang. Dersh protected and enabled Epstein and alleged raped som of the kids. They were all American kids. The rapes were so much better organized than those dozens of Pakistani grooming and rape gangs aimed at British White underaged children. But Britain had Tommy Robinson who brought national attention to the omnipresent unpunished child rape. America, because of the cover up, has no one like Robinson to shame America into prosecuting Dershowtz. The kids do not matter. Covering up for Dershowitz does.

I rarely respond to mendacious bigots like Greg Star, but I must set the record straight against his multiple misstatements of facts. I was never accused of being a pedophile. One woman falsely claimed I had sex with her as an adult . She has since withdrawn her false claim and admitted that she may have confused me with someone else. No hush money or any payments were made. I proved conclusively that I never met her, heard of her or had any contact with her. The only woman I had sex with since the time I met and represented Epstein was my wife. As soon as I was falsely accused, I wrote an oped for the Wall Street Journal demanding a criminal investigation by the FBI , waiving any privacy and asking for a criminal trial.

There will now be a trial. I have instructed my attorneys to file a malicious defamation action against Starr. Let him provide his contact information so we can serve him. Put up or shut up Mr. Starr.

Perspective needed.. Big law is not charged with participation in the organized rape, torture, grooming, trafficking and and drugging of 250, mostly underage American children. Dersh though is charged with crimes against the most vulnerable in American society, underage kids supposively protected by statutory rape law. Dersh. did not hide under the bed. Underage kids alleged he sexually and serially penetrated and tortured them on top of beds, on sofas and. in connection with interstate travel American law, both Federal and State criminalizes this alleged behaviour. Yet the law is not enforced. Instead Dersh's activities in the Epstein Organization are covered up. Dersh buys or bullies thru friends his way out of trial. Why do you think he felt he needed that full and secret immunity to his alleged pedo crime? Though that immunity was invalidated years later by federal court action, why no indictment yet? I find no implicit immunity in Criminal Law for a certain ideologue protected by monied lobbies and intel organizations? Do you Mr Kaus support as a part of prosecutorial discretion that a hard core Zionist is by virtue if that status exempt from the application of statutory rape law.?
