“Special Council is told to find crimes, whether a crime exists or not. I was opposed to the selection of Mueller to be Special Council. I am still opposed to it. I think President Trump was right when he said there never should have been a Special Council appointed because.....

...there was no probable cause for believing that there was any crime, collusion or otherwise, or obstruction of justice!” So stated by Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz.

we can maintain the illusion (delusion) that the actual President Trump knows the difference between council and counsel.

Who does it fire up more, his base or the Democrats?

Every one of these tweets is a GOTV message for non-Trump America.

In a hearing on Friday, a judge ruled against Dershowitz in filing an affidavit regarding conversations he had with well-known attorney David Boies, who represents Giuffre. The judge agreed with Boies, ruling the conversations were protected settlement discussions and should not have been filed in the case.

On one of Epstein’s flight logs where Dershowitz is listed, there was “an (apparently young) woman named ‘Tatiana’ who did not appear to serve any business purpose for Epstein,” according to court papers.

“I never got a massage from anybody. It’s made up out of whole cloth,” Dershowitz said in a Jan. 21, 2015, article in the New York Daily News. In an interview the following day on Local 10 News, he said, “I kept my underwear on during the massage.”

Dershowitz said he received one massage at Epstein’s house “from a woman in her 40s. I think her name was Olga. I called my wife after getting the massage. It was an unpleasant experience. I’ve always acknowledged I had one massage. I said that from day one.”

If there was "no probable cause for believing that there was any crime", why all the quick guilty pleas, deals and 19 people charged so far?

Why does he refer to himself in the third person?

There must be some psychiatric explanation?

Because if you watch Fox News, you'll know that Dershowitz recently changed his name to Lifelong Democrat Alan Dershowitz, much like Sebastian Gorka recently changed his name to Doctor Sebastian Gorka.
