Allen Dershowitz

I used to be a big fan, but I sense that he has become quite the gadfly in recent years. Tonight on MSNBC, he stated that the DC grand jury was a mistake, and opined on the racial make-up of any subsequent jury pool. But he also said this: "These DC people don't even get to vote for president." What planet has he been on since 1961??

1. The 23rd Amendment to the Constitution gave DC residents

the right to vote for presidential electors. And yes, that was in 1961, at which time Dershowitz was a student at Yale Law School. Maybe he wasn't paying attention in class, or he forgot. Dershowitz has gone to the dark side in a lot of respects.

2. He has been on the Trump wagon since last year -- mostly hiding in the back,

but popping out once in a while to remind us.

So it isn't that he's suddenly become stupid. He's just counting on Trump supporters to be.

What connects him to DT? Lots of things. He, like DT, was tangled up in the Epstein pedophilia case. So they share an interest in all related cases going away. Also, Dershowitz has been close to Kushner since Kushner was a college student and Dershowitz was the advisor for Kushner's small Chabad group. And Kushner is also closely connected to a pro-Putin Jewish sect in Russia.

So every time you hear him say something surprising about DT, remember that he's been consistently defending DT ever since he started to run.
