But, of course he is... Birds of a "feather" and all that...




President Trump considering adding controversial lawyer Alan Dershowitz to impeachment legal team: Sources
Donald Trump is gearing up for his impeachment defense in the Senate.
--snip--

Dershowitz attended an event Wednesday at the White House and was asked to speak briefly by the president ahead of signing an executive order on anti-Semitism.

"I have advocated that there needs to be one other attorney that's added to the mix for the president, and that is Alan Dershowitz," Congressman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., a Trump confidant, told the House Freedom Caucus podcast on Wednesday. "I think he'd be great to come in, get Alan Dershowitz in to be part of that defense team."

Dershowitz, who was often called upon by the White House and the president's attorneys to appear on television during the Mueller investigation, has been in the headlines due to his ties to now-deceased accused child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Dershowitz was a member of a star legal team that represented Epstein during his multiple investigations beginning in the mid 2000s.

All Trump has left. Rudy and Alan, quite a pair. Both are as nuts as Trump!

Latest reports are Mitch is not gong to allow his Senate to become a Reality show. Lindsey is the crazy uncle in the Senate. Most have a shred of dignity left.

From Epstein he will have to appear for him if he demands it. Democrats should put the republicans under oath answering if they've taken any money from russians , and putin directly or indirectly , and are compromised , and should have recused themselves from being part of this trial.

I guess not hiring Dershowitz until now was Trump keeping his powder dry.
