As irritating as he can be, Alan Dershowitz would be way preferable. I know he has represented orange man before.
That being said, what happens with these charges probably has next to zero to do with the skill of his defense. If he gets a super political jury they will convict him and he will have to appeal. If not, then okay.
Trump's only chance at a fair trial is if they move the case out of Manhattan. All of the pundits are saying not to worry because the charges are all crap. I agree that they're crap, but a Manhattan jury has probably a 90% chance of being filled with left wing partisans who won't give a damn about facts or the law and vote to convict due to TDS alone. I also would not trust any Manhattan judge to be fair either.
I heard Dersh on TV. He is hanging out outside this case in case a gag order is issued. At which point it was/is his intent to sue on first amendment grounds on behalf of journalists. But not representing Trump.
Dershowitz is a pedo. Trump's continual association with him is not a good look.
What is your basis for that, that he visited Epstein Island? It certainly isn't impossible, but he is perhaps the one person I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt there seeing as he represented Epstein in the past. And he has a long track record of holding to the philosophy that he thinks everyone, even the most contemptible people deserve to be represented.
Epstein shit &

It's surprising to me that anybody could think anything other than this man is a pedo, and frankly, if you do, you're a fn pedo, too, and I'd rather not even talk to you.
You sound like a perfectly reasonable individual. That Boston globe article hits me with a pay wall so I can't read it. Regardless, acting like the arbitrary age of 18 as determined by the US government is sacrosanct is the height of idiocy. Obviously there needs to be a cutoff somewhere, but I reject the ridiculously unnuanced take that anyone who says that cutoff shouldn't be 18 is a pedo.
