Schill: A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization. (see Alan Dershowitz).
Contextual Liar: "If you know something is false but you qualify it sufficiently to defend the lie then you are a liar." (see Alan Dershowitz).
Does ANYBODY actually believe AD did not give Trump legal advice this week? At the very least (doubtful but he is a nerd) AD took $1 from Trump so he could say he was Trump's client but since it was all verbal (except for the dollar) there is no proof AD is Donald's client or gave him legal advice.
Alan Dershowitz is also a coward, he picked the perfect mark in Chuck Todd who tee'd up every question AD asked for: https://www.msnbc.com/mtp-daily/watch/full-dershowitz-rosenstein-recusal-from-russia-investigation-might-be-appropriate-1208461891972 Is AD planning on visiting any of the more formidable evening anchors?
AD says Rosenstein "should recuse himself" and that Trumps lawyers should make a motion if Rosenstein "PARTICIPATED IN ANY WAY IN A PROCESS THAT WAS ADVERSE TO THE INTERESTS OF OF PRESIDENT TRUMP."
AD also states with respect to Trump firing Rosenstein that Trump "might have a constitutional right to arrange (hand gestures), he might have to do it indirectly."
AD confirms to Todd that he told Slate that his "advice to the president would be: don't fire, don't pardon, don't tweet and don't testify",..."Right."
AD states to Todd: "I want to be clear, I did not give the president any legal advice. I never give legal advice to anyone unless I am their lawyer and my legal advice is subject to client confidentially. By the way client confidentially suffered a big blow the other day when the lawyer for Donald Trump's home and office were raided and they took all (hand gestures) of his material and just put it in front of a taint team".
At times it seems he can't even keep his lies straight because when interviewed the same day by Haaretz: "When I give advice to the President," he said, "I keep it confidential." https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/trump-meets-alan-dershowitz-amid-syrian-and-mueller-probe-tensions-1.5991344
So Alan, did you confidentially not give Trump give "legal" advice? I assume you can't say since it was 'confidential'.
Alan, your flurry of public interviews have revealed plenty about the 'legal' advice you have for DT, Perhaps infinitely more since you can't divide by zero, which is all that has leaked directly out of Robert Mueller's investigation, whether over a Porter an Ale or a Bud.
Say Alan, one more thing, did your legal advice to your friend Trump include that "Donald, crimes are Crimes!"?

(31,109 posts)As angry as I am at Alan right now, he would be better for justice on the SC than any other person dumbfuck would appoint.
Is Alan playing the long game here, trying to SAVE the SC ??
Anything is possible, but I am super pissed at him and have been for a while now.
