President Trump is reportedly considering Alan Dershowitz to be a member of his impeachment defense team. Dershowitz has cleverly come out in defense of president Trump and this has muted much of the criticism about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. His contradictory accounts of this relationship make his denial of being a pedophile questionable. Dershowitz claims, "I have a long history of credibility." However, his various accounts of what took place do not support that claim.
Dershowitz was asked by FOX News if he ever traveled to Epstein's St. James Island. His response was, “With my wife when the island first opened. There were no young women or anybody on the island except a woman in her 30s and somebody who was taking care of the house. That was the only time I was ever there. I never flew on his plane there. I never participated in any eh eh any activities on the island or anywhere else with Jeffrey. Never, never, never, under any circumstances.” However, flight logs of Epstein’s private jet show Dershowitz flew on it at least four times.
Dershowitz told the New York Daily News, “I never got a massage from anybody. It’s made up out of whole cloth.” Later he told the Palm Beach Daily News, he received one massage at Epstein’s house “from a woman in her 40s. I think her name was Olga. I called my wife after getting the massage. It was an unpleasant experience. I kept my underwear on during the massage.” He claims, "I’ve always acknowledged I had one massage. I said that from day one.” He also claims “I was . . . with my wife and daughter . . . we were never separated from for the entire 24 hours I was there.” Why was it necessary for him to call his wife if he was never separated from her?
The full extent of the Epstein scandal will never be revealed. Dershowitz claims he has emails:
"There are emails so far that are secret, but that prove, not only that I was framed, but who framed me. It names names. These people are going to go to jail once these e-mails come out because this was a total frame up for financial reasons, and I can prove it, and will prove it. It will be so interesting because there will be prominent people in handcuffs. Prominent people in handcuffs once these e-mails come out."
Christine Pelosi, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s daughter remarked, "It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated but we must follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may — whether on Republicans or Democrats." Virginia Roberts Giuffre claims she was forced to have sex with "numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known Prime Minister, and other world leaders." Among them she mentioned George Mitchell, the former Democratic leader of the Senate. There are no flight logs for Epstein's New York City townhouse to expose his guest lists. This townhouse is only 230 from Washington,D.C.: Washington D.C. where 535 powerful men and women disburse over 4 trillion dollars a year. It would be unrealistic to believe this was not a target of Jeffrey Epstein's blackmail operation.
Alan Dershowitz has done his best to prevent information about this affair going public. ABC reportedly was about to broadcast its investigation of the Epstein affair when it was dropped. A Project Veritas video revealed anchor Amy Robach’s frustration. Alan Dershowitz revealed in an NPR interview that he was the one who pressured ABC not to publish the interview. This was not the first example of Dershowitz's efforts to conceal information about the case. Fellow Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe was highly critical of Dershowitz's attempt to block the press from covering the child trafficking court proceedings.
