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.

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 Epsteins 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. Its 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 Epsteins 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. Ive 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?

(43,181 posts)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.
