Thank you for your ethics, Mr. Dershowitz.
He was on OJ's defense team.

@@johnsimms6184 Who cares. Low lifes get prison. Tucker has everything. How come nothing to back up peaceful event?
uoo- Watch out when Allan starts making statements like that! He doesn't talk that way if he can't back himself up.
Hahaha, get a clue. Alan is full of junk.
Dershowitz is the best lawyer to give opinions because he doesn't conflate law with politics.
@@tommy2u That's what he said. He's a liberal Dem. But I'm saying that he doesn't allow his politics to sway his legal opinions. He didn't vote for Trump yet represented him during his impeachment because he felt that he was innocent.
This isn't about politics. It's about Epstein. Dershowitz wrote Epsteins plea agreement. Letting Epstein, Maxwell and all their partners-in-crime walk on falsified records to hide their sex trafficking. A self-serving plea agreement that gave rapist Dershowitz a walk too.
@@tommy2u That's exactly why he's no bias when it comes to the law.
@@anonymoususer4376 More than Trump being innocent. Dershowitz thought the impeachments and Russian Collusion hoax were outrages unfounded in law.
But what good is the law if it can't be twisted and perverted to advance a corrupt, political narrative? That's unAmerican!
You are a good man Mr. Dershowitz. You done God's work showing the other side.
Nope
@@chadgrabner4136 very elaborate and detailed response!
@Rob 57 a Democrats words mean nothing, they always have an agenda I'm not interested in
He argued for lowering the age of consent and flew multiple times to Epstein’s island.
Dershowitz "done God's work" by getting double-murderer OJ off the hook. God must have been thrilled.
Dominion won’t open up to transparency, as that would expose their corruption. If their lawsuit hinges on that, they’ll drop the lawsuit.
Dominion will win.
OH MY GOD! Dominion has won in every single challenge. They hold the documents! Dominion HAS FOXES E-MAILS. You know the one's where they admit they are lying on air. Fox has DISCOVERY IN THE COURT ROOM. They can ask anything and demand witnesses. You need to join the real would.
Lack of transparency from a private company running our public elections is simply unacceptable. The burden is not on us to prove malfeasance.
@@baigandinel7956 LOL. IT SURE THE HELL IS. Dominion was selected national for their security. You think everybody is stupid. These machines are not even connected to the internet.
@@daysrcdays "Dominion was selected national for their security." That's not even a correct sentence. Care to describe this alleged process? Lack of transparency is completely unacceptable in a democracy. They literally made it impossible to lawfully count the vote in an audit.
MY TOTAL RESPECT TO MR. DERSHOWITZ!!!!!!!!!
😉👍Thumbs up to Alan Dershowitz for standing up for the law as it truly should be used for to the fullest and not for the use of others own agendas just to incriminate some one that you don't like because of their political stance or because they don't agree with you in any way shape or form!.
Alan….. thank you for staying honest…. Torah is way more important than corruption… 🙏..G-d bless
The best attorney IN HISTORY.❤❤❤
But Alan, could you please speak to the implications of the presidential records at? Because comparing Trump to Biden and Pence is not entirely accurate because the latter two had no right to take records. And Biden did so when he was vice president and in the Senate, and he oversaw the movement of these documents from location to location to location, so he clearly knew they existed. That situation is entirely different than what we're talkin about at Mar-A-Lago
Well, president Biden to let authorities to search and seek.
Dershowitz wrote Epsteins plea agreement that gave Epstein, Maxwell and all their partners-in-crime in both major parties a walk. SDNY, Holculs independent investigation is ongoing. Especially when an attorney tried to assassinate a federal judge killing her son & putting her husband in ICU. That attorney was later found dead. Ruled a suicide. 🙄 Dershowitz is like my abusive ex boyfriend/employer civil rights attorney & professor at UCF. A DNC attorney who worked for Val & Jerry Demings, Kopmalas brother-in-law Tony West at DOJ, Human Rights Campaign ( Like Alphonso David) and a former FL domestic violence prosecutor involved in racketeering revolving around spoiled evidence aka falsified records aka mishandling of sensitive government documents with Trumps Trumpcare convicted fraudster FL Sen Rick Scott, DeSantis, Bondi. As well as Trumps NY real estate attorney Cuomo & Cuomos DNC chair Buffalo Mayor Byron Browns. Whose city hall & bogus HUD charity was raided by FBI, IRS, HUD, NY OIG because of my sealed whistleblower indictments against both major parties. Cuomo's using the same bs political hit-job defense.
You are so right, I agree 💯 percent....
All of the lawyers on TV fail to address the Presidential Records act, I guess they have not looked up the law
the problem is trump listen to nixon loving roger stone. stone was up nixon's nose back then. but stone didn't know they change the law in 81. so trumps buddy screwed him.
This man is brilliant.
SO A BAGOFSHIT IS BRILLIANT NOW ??
@@eddriver7815 I'm Talking about Dershowitz
He argued to lower the age of consent, defended Epstein to get his sweetheart deal and flew multiple times to his private island. Thank god for his brilliance.
KUDO's to Mr. Alan Dershowirz, and Thank You For Standing Up And Actually Following The Whole US Constitution, To The Letter, Word And All Of The Time! I Sincerely Hope That Your Friends On The Left Side Of The US Political Equation's Would Actually Perform The Same Actions! IF They Did, Then "We The Legal Citizens/People And Legal Immigrants Of The USA" Would Never Be In This Situation, Correct!?!
Somebody investigate the life of Bragg and Leticia. I bet they are not squeaky clean. There are skeletons hidden in their closet

@@bcrouch2626 If you still think Trump won, you need to work on critical thinking skills.
Dershowitz is a skilled amoralist. I generally try to avoid following the advice of amoralists when it comes to moral topics.
Alan Knows That The DA Position Has Always Been A Political Position,He Knows That,It’s Always Been A Spring Board For The Governor’s Office.
When you elect DAs tied to a political party via election its political, you vote for a DA with left or right policies on crime
goes without saying
@@voteformethanks5307 It’s Definitely Has Always Been A Political Spring Board For A Much Higher Office,Especially In Large Cosmopolitan Cities.Just As Long As The Person Does Right By His Voters,The Law And Hold Up The Integrity Of The Office,I Have No Issue With It.

Yup! A Witch Hunt! And we're going to catch that Orange Fat Witch and fry that Hellish Beast Master to a fking burning stake! 🔥👿🔥
Ohhh! Stop Trumpster, come to realize the truth.
High Crimes by Government Employees!
@cruzvarela9254 the truth is the justice system is being weaponized to target an individual. It's wrong no matter who that person is.
@m_train1 With the election on the line, Trump paid hush money to Stormy to keep her mouth shut about banging her while Melania was home with their newborn. In trying to cover up the porn star thing, Trump lied to Fed/State in reporting the $130K. Michael Cohen went to prison for his actions "on behalf of Individual-1” ... but the DOJ "forgot" to go after the Perp-in-Chief.
"Family values." "Honesty". "Full disclosure". It's in front of your face.
If ANYONE knows the law, ALAN DERSHOWITZ DOES !!!
Then Alan should know that we all knew that Trump is a Morally Repugnant Beast Master anyway and him paying off some Skeeza to keep her mouth shut because he thought it may hurt his election chances is no surprise to anyone and a Misdemeanor at Best! Trying to write off that payment as a Legal Expense is a Felony! Can you understand that? That was just plain Stupid, Greedy and worthy of a 2 bit Mafioso! New York is my 2nd home and I'm far from a fking kid! I remember the bullshit Trump and his Daddy pulled! New York is the Financial Capital of the World! Trump is bad for Business! And you don't taint New York's Business Reputation because you're messing with their Cheddar now! Even other crooked Businessmen wouldn't work with Trump because they said he crossed the line! Trump and his Nazi loving Daddy Fred were pulling crap like this in New York for Decades and now it's time Pay the Mfing Piper!

Great interview.
In America all you have to do is be accused .
nearly right, In America you get away with it if a Democrat, and if a GOP person all it takes is a quote from a un-known source to be investigated and smeared in media for months
I wonder if Dershowitz had his underwear on when he made this statement. Dershowitz believes that if he has his drawers on he can get away with anything.
And so goes "Intent". The law had a tough time proving intent. So they just decided the law was broken and you're going to pay. There was a time intent mattered. Now any little human error gets you a criminal record.
cancel checks, bank statements, recorded phones calls, witness'. not so hard after all.
All of the current hoopla is designed to take the attention and heat from off of hunter Biden and the Biden family's financial prospering from the Chinese elements!
How about smashed blackberries, bleach bit hard drives, and destruction of evidence that was subpoenaed? Yet they claimed they couldn't prove her intent?
As he said, what would be the purpose of paying hush money if you had to tell why? Stupid and pointless waste of time and taxpayer's money.
@diegojines-us9pc Seems to be a problem to prove Biden's criminality with everything you just stated "wouldn't be a problem".
You have interviewed one of the greatest Constitutional and legal minds since John Adam's. We need minds like this leading our Supreme Court.
2020 elections? Question Alan, what does the Constitution say the VP is supposed to open? Simple question, what constitutes a Constitionally garnered Electoral vote?
Can Governors change election rules via EOs?
You are usually not partisan, I'd be interesting your non partisan answer to my questions.
Epistien Island anyone????
Put Bragg in prison forever.
Thanks for upload. 🙂🌷
If there happens to be a good lawyer judge ect, that happens to read this. I have a question about due process, in reguards to Trump. Nothing in depth, just In this Polarized time, Can Trump legally be judged by a jury of his peers? I ask because the jury is supposed tobe unbias, which is impossible, and to have not already made their mind up on guilt or innocense which again, seems impossible.
The term you are looking for is, "Bullshit."
❤❤❤the truth always prevails!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Breach of contract to disclose NDA!
Finally! A real journalist
I used to respect that guy? What a surprise when he showed us who he is.
These prosecutions of President Trump show how weaponized the Law has become.
If the line is between foolish and reckless ? Sir , you're semanticizing to an unreasonable degree .
HURRAY FOR MR. DERSHOWITZ. I WOULD TOTALLY BE BEHIND HIM. HE IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE, COMPETENT, HONEST AND WELL EDUCATED AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. MY TOTAL ADMIRATION FOR MR. ALAN DERSHOWITZ.
Challenge Bragg. Indeed. Look into Chuck schumers brother who works in same office.
But you will still vote for them Alan
No know was, not even Bill Clinton and Paula Jones Case of 850K😮
Maybe they can SUE BRAGG
Up to: 02:23 Allan has a better mind than that - it deserves additional comment. He knows the difference between fabricating a story for an agenda (more on that) and intending harm to the Dersh personally. And he should point out that this perspective is itself untenable. That it justifies any action and harm - personal or otherwise. So that is the first point - that the level of harm still matters. And he should also say, are they sitting there going, "poor Dersh - he got in the way of war-rules of politics!"? Maybe. Which is the innermost crux of the matter - is this behavior of "war rules" justification for committing a harm against a person? I think the answer is that this is in fact a well-accepted legally tolerated risk. And that "lying" is a "tradition" (currently) upheld by a solid 50% of the population.
IMO based on the current structure of legal Reality, as far as malice is concerned, Dersh did just get in the way. And the case he is bringing is not about election interference or something like that - it's a defamation case. And - it doesn't meet that standard. I'll bet he loses the appeal.
I'm going to extend and expand this since its for my research in legal philosophy, but it may apply:
In the event that there is pecuniary business interest driving (a presumptively corrupt) "desire" to slander or gaslight a victim, even to criminalize him in spite of no crime and no law ("positive law") that permits it - does this remove *liability* for defamation. Obviously not.
A couple of arguments here -
First - a case is raised based on the severity of harm inflicted on the plaintiff. How seriously was the plaintiff injured?
Second, is there another legal theory that takes precedence, or can or should take precedence other than "Defamation"?
As to level of injury, was it petty? As this defense might argue? If it was petty as in Dersh's case (i mean - come-on, pull 'em up!) is there a social need for exemplary sanction (above and beyond actual damages?) As a kind of guiding stick to news outlets to not tolerate, excuse, or defend such actions (other than to contest the amount of "punishment" it deserves.)
As to an alternative legal theory, is the practice positively permitted? Or is it even in part or whole in distinct violation of law?
If it falls into the middle ground between these, is it still untenable, unsupportable, or outrageous?
Does it "conspire" to create other harms for the plaintiff until corrected? (Does it result in other harms? Even abstract ones like denial of constitutional rights, or even imprisonment?)
Ultimately the Supremes may clarify "Malice" by inclusion of some idea of foreknowledge of outcome by parameters like those I have shown here. Which does not eliminate the innate "mind reading" requirement, but would extend how it might be defined.
Last word: Until AGI can produce a probabilistic script of the thoughts during the commission of the crime by the accused (which is not impossible in my experience,) the interplay of the alternative theories may be "incorporable" as at least a parallel solution or theory. Especially since meeting the element of Malice even if proven or admitted, seems arbitrarily binary, which these ideas would also amend. Thus the "reasonability" rule of negligence and strict liability should rise to an entirely sufficient level for the plaintiff - still based on the actual harm done, and reasonably assessed.
The Lord will take care of Bragg's and it will not be a slap on his face woo unto him 😡
Why was the book censored?
Thank you.
The only high profile registered Democrat that l trust right now. Alan Dershowitz. I liked him even before the latest political hit job on Trump. I'm glad he is speaking out. Not only that, his demeanor is very likable.
2 things no man should ever have to see: 1 is writing of legislation and the other is the making on sausage.
Dershowitz talks a good game but his voting recors SUCKS!
Your book cover was blurred out except for part of Trump’s name that isn’t hidden by your hand.
What is up with the blurring out of everything?
The Judge was bought off.
The govt is NOT transparent
Professor Dershowitz, 🌿Just wanted to ruin your reputation it's unfair !
What about that judge Thomas
Jim Abitz….is it against the law to have rich friends? Media is going after Justice Thomas because he’s black. That’s it.
Defamation: I'm amazed malice wasn't accepted if CNN doctored the tapes. What more do you need to infer malice? a confession? for me, the common man, applying common sense, obviously they knew what they were doing.it's ludicrous.
Get back to your Fox bubble
He is far from the great legal counsel that people believe. Indeed, less than 2 years ago he personally sued CNN and the case was dismissed without even making it to trial. He acted as legal consultant to the legal team for Kari Lake's challenge to the 2020 Arizona results and it was dismissed. So he does not know everything
There should be a class action lawsuit against "Dominion" on behalf of voters who believe the election machines intentionally used stole their right to have an honest vote.
Bragg has a lot of attorneys and even democrats and the entire Republican Party minus Liz Cheney thinking sane
I pray this coming election next year 2024 we needed him president Donald Trump America well be strong and great again Rita las Vegas
why do you need a president who has to pay hush money ? i prefer one who has nothing to hide , trump is a criminal and if you dont know that you are stu pid or an ug ly skank looking for some old pig to grab you by the pu ssy
So he is on a Chinese oligarch's yacht somewheres huh.
China Joe? True. Probably spending the money the communist Bidens received from communist china
We stopped supporting npr when their news became voice of government. Their news stopped being independently researched. Npr money comes from corporations and government, so basically propaganda and no discussion of opposing views.
DESSHOWITZ IS A CLINTON DEMOCRAT WHICH IS MIND BOGGLING.
Zm Investllc…….Alan has always been a democrat, always will. I don’t get it myself? But his loyalty is to the constitution, not the democrats.
In the past week AD has done one specific thing that he cannot justify. He appeared with Alec Jones on his show. He knows exactly who Alec Jones and the nature of his supporters. He knows exactly the lies and false conspiracies he has promoted. He cannot defend his appearance on the basis of integrity of the system or the constitution or that if he did not appear his message or analysis would not be heard. The only reason he attended was because of his own ego and inability to resist any chance for publicity. I also note that he never mentions that his own personal case against CNN was dismissed without even getting to trial and that he acted as legal consultant for Kari Lake’s legal team in challenged in the 2020 vote in Arizona ( which was also dismissed).
please explain how this has to do with the 2016 election, when the events took place in 2017?
Alvin Bragg ran and won the DA office on promise of "Get Trump" so, he'll Trump-up anything to get an indictment.
Get some real news. The money was paid 10 days before the election. And the other porn star Karen Dougal was silenced as well. Follow reality, not Fox or your internal fantasies.
Because in 2017 crimes were to cover up the 2016 ones
We can only guess till we know the charge
@@voteformethanks5307 - what crime was covered up?
@@epic103 i mean the 2017 business record crimes are alleged to have been to cover up the election violations - 2016 election violations to influence an election - which as part of covering up that crime was entering business records wrongly to hide the election violation- To be able to use the these two tied together is dependent on what Crime Trump is alleged to have committed.- whatever crime the DA reveals Trump committed will have to be with election violations - and the attempt to over it up afterwards-
The DA cant really go down the election crime road, as that is a Federal issue not a state one. Which is why most honest legal experts are baffled by the DA bring this. But thats why the 2017 can be tied in the charge if the Crime Trump is allegend to have committed has ties to the violation and business records
my opinion is this case wont reach a jury, it will fold, but today Fox news reported a text Hunter Bidens lawyer sent said> in the next few weeks Trump will be facing at least 3 new indictments< This is about plastering the voters with pictures in their heads of Trump being arrested over and over. - they know 30% will vote GOP no matter, and 30% Democrat no matter, this is about the other 40%- putting in their heads do you want to vote for Trump who has multi charges against him, - they hoping the 40% heads are full with arrest after arrest, and will pick instead the option to vote Democrat - the safer option
Please, not the least
Just let him show his book like everyone else for god sake. Childless…😎
