Alan Dershowitz says he could support Joe Biden over Trump.

I hope Biden says thanks but no thanks.

(Dershowitz is still facing a lawsuit filed by one of Epstein's victims. I wonder if that's why he's trying to have things both ways.)

“And what if the candidate is Joe Biden?” Abrams asked.

“I’m a strong supporter of Joe Biden,” Dershowitz said. “I like Joe Biden. I’ve liked him for a long time and I could enthusiastically support Joe Biden.”

“Over Donald Trump?” Abrams asked.

“Over Donald Trump, yeah,” the law prof said.

Jeffrey Epstein, worked to arrange his slap on the wrist in Florida (while not properly informing the victims who were entitled to be informed) and has himself been accused of rape by one of Epstein's victims?

Yes, he is entitled of course to the presumption of innocence.

But I don't think any of our candidates should touch him with a ten foot pole.

Biden likes to be liked more than Biden likes to stand strong against Republicans and "just say no," I'm afraid. I hope that's not the case. I think we'll find out.

Then please, by all means... do tell! I certainly enjoy creative and imaginative inferences.

No?

Then it doesn't really matter in any way, does it. Joe Biden isn't responsible for what Alan Dershowitz says. Not in any way.
