Here’s how he went from teaching law at Harvard to becoming one of the most infamous lawyers in U.S. history. Narrated by Margaret Cho

The quote "If you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppresion." applies to him. He's just so frickin' privileged to see the problem.
Add this is very true. It is why there is one set of laws for regular people and another set for the wealthy.
@@rabbit251 It's the "just us" system. No accountability for the wealthy, affluenza.
He is a Jew born in the 1930s, in the midst of fascism in Europe and Asia. He grew up in a time where even star law students were blackballed from the best law firms and from clerking for some judges. You need to reassess your view of who is privileged.
@@michaelkelley1168 Do you think that maybe they are referring to now, or since he has been successful and priviledged?
@@-suphur so, successful equals privileged regardless of past racial, ethnic, religious discrimination?
This series is so needed! These people can't get away with public ambivalence and allowed to be forgotten before they're held accountable for their actions and complicity.
NowThis News is another CIA/israeli run media. They put small fish under the bus in order to gain our trust in order to continue running America into the ground. Politicians blackmailed and under the command of Israel. Children sacrificed.
@@javedyusufzai363 probably most is as u say
@@javedyusufzai363 that’s going a bit far.
I sometimes personally worry if the term misogyny is possibly being thrown around in a frivolous way recently but this guy is the actual embodiment of the word and literally made a career out of it.
Epstein and all those connected to his crimes should never be allowed to feel comfortable again. They should always be reminded and questioned about this as most will likely never face any legal consequences.
Epstein is dead bro
If Epstein had not been killed he would have been released. His plea deal was upheld in the Florida court of appeals so they would have let him out. Which means Ghislaine will probably walk.
Let's hope they will all tread more carefully from now on. Or even desist! Unfortunately, it looks like money moves at the expense of victims' lives, through getting people into compromising situations and holding the evidence to bargain with.
He seems to go out of his way to support men who harm women. What a guy.
He’s an incel lol looking for approval
Yup
He also said you have no right to NOT be Vaxxed.
Hi @jessicabw. That is just what good professional lawyers do. They try to get the best deal that they can for their clients. You would want that kind of assistance too, if you were accused of a crime. In the United States of America it is accepted that every citizen has the right to have legal counsel for their defence, no matter what crime they have been accused of. Apparently, women of a strong feminist persuasion don't seem to think this should apply to to men accused of crimes against women. 🤠
Such a horrible, horrible human being, no conscience, no remorse, no soul. My heart goes out for the countless lives he has ruined.
They say Dershowitz tried to get trump to give Maxwell a pardon when trump was living the Whitehouse after losing the presidency.
@@michaelpower4372 I wouldn’t doubt it for a second. I’m glad Trump was too busy getting rid off evidence to pardon that evil witch woman.
Trump wished ghislaine Maxwell "good luck" on a worldwide stage.
@@gaylemc2692 Trump allso praised Putin for attacking Ukraine.
Your first sentence describes most lawyers, I fear!
I remember Norman Finkelstein tearing this guy a new one on Democracy Now. The Western academia is sick having chosen this guy over Norman. Jesus. 🤦🏾♂️
Very well said
Very sad state of affairs. Because in the end Dershowitz went out of his way to destroy Finklestein's academic career. And obviously Dershowitz won.
He became 'The Devil he was Advocating for'....
Nice pun for movie buffs.
What an impressive track-record of misoginy.
What a horrible person! He's despicable.
I'm anxiously awaiting the Netflix drama: Dershowitz did it.
Tosser
You know a person is lying when they get angry after you ask them a question.
Excellent observation
He’s a bad man.
watch out, he's got seven different alibis for the interval during which you CLAIM he was being a bad man
Reminder to everyone that Alan thinks the age of consent should be 15.
Which it is in several developed countries.
His campaign seems to aim to whitewash the dirty deeds of his mates. That whole ring is coming into view more clearly every day, whether they get convicted or not. We get their M.O.
Do you realize that the average age of consent in the US currently is 16? As the father of two daughters, I think it should be 42. But attacking Dershowitz on this basis without providing any context is misleading.
How does he sleep at night
in sheets made of palestinian infants
The letter he refered to from Prince Andrew is especially creepy & telling now that recent information has been discovered..
Bless you guys for ACTUALLY covering NowThis. God & the people are with you.
So, being busy with a teenager himself he didn't see what others were doing ? He has to be indicted.
One of the many reasons Harvard’s shine is considerably tarnished.
the man has squeched his own conscience. i would not want his life, no matter how well he lives materially. this goes for anyone who sells their soul, for fun and profit.
He's a grifter like Trump. I don't want to learn anything more about him
how could you defend violent rapists including of underage girls and double down after they aren't your clients
Well narrated, Margaret !!
Deshowitz also advocated the use of torture to get information which could stop an act of terror despite such confessions being unreliable.
A friend and apologist for all the best kind of people...
He's basically group 13 in WWII
We already knew all this info. Margaret is another gatekeeper for Israel. They only report on whats already been leaked in order to gain our trust so they can get your eye off the rest of the pedophiles/blackmail/Israel operations.
@@javedyusufzai363 Ow nu😉
His first wife that attempted to expose him fell off a bridge? Read about that? Just kidding; if I recommend to you that you get lost into his personal life I would be doing the same thing that NowThisNews is doing and that is to Sidetrack you from the main story which is Israel blackmailing American politicians.
@@javedyusufzai363 Dir chalak dee
So he's like a dirt trickster lawyer... as if Roger Stone studied law ?
Tell me with whom you associate and I'll tell you who you are......
Such a true adage.
Everyone, even the actually guilty, has a right to a defense attorney. That is a legal fact of life. _But, does that attorney have to be me?_
Yes. If you're a virtuous attorney, you should want it to be you. The virtue of sound legal defense for the accused is higher than the virtue of retribution on behalf of a victim.
Ikr
If lawyers make any difference at all (and of course they do) then the concept of equality under the law is a myth. It's like showing up for trial by combat and having to fight the world heavyweight champ. Cases are often won or lost based on the lawyer and not on the evidence.
Hooooooly what a piece
Alan Dershowits really isn't doing us jews any favors by embodying almost every offensive antisemitic trope.
He is my favourite Jew, I think we should make him the court Jew!!!
Ikr so shameful
The best of Harvard. Barf on toast. He argued the age of consent should be reduced to 15.
I don't think that's the bad part; he argued it should be considered consentual for the partner of ANY AGE to be with a 15+ year old. "Romeo and Juliet" statutes for couples close in age are one thing, advocating for pedophilic relationships is another
The video should have also covered the Dershowitz-Finkelstein affair since it goes against Dershowitz claim that he always sides with “free speech.”
Or him trying to go after Ward Churchill
The Democracy Now debate, Finkelstein absolutely obliterated Dershowitz 😂😂
But he kept his underwear on!!
Not much Devil's Advocate. He is Advocate for the the Devil, a promoter.
God - why is that?
Every attorney by definition of ethics rules must defend their client to the fullest extent. We are never to question the validity of our client's innocence. This, like this attorney, disgusts them....until the person being prosecuted is themselves. Then you wish you had a Dershowitz as your attorney.
It's the same as Dr. Mudd who set Booth's broken leg. The doctor was sentenced to 10 years in prison for aiding the assassin. Regardless, the rule is that a doctor treats the patient regardless of how despicable the person is.
It's a little easier with doctors since they use science. With attorneys there is public relations and questions about how far can someone go to represent someone.
@@rabbit251 ya true in general. This advocate for the Devil blends into that mix cleverly.
They really do think that all Gentiles are cattle.
He was pretty proud of that letter
I wonder how much his friendship costs?
Keep up the fantastic work!
Great summary! The consistency of character leaves no doubts in our minds.
It's for all these reasons why women's rights should not be taken away. Alan is literally campaigning for men too plea not guilty because what, free the blue ball society?
Women don't need this shite!
His first wife that attempted to expose him fell off a bridge? Read about that?

@@javedyusufzai363ALL true 100 precent!
@Mateo Hodge "Often"?... you mean almost entirely... 98% of all court proceedings in the United States are plea deals.... If just 20% of those people charged invoked their right to a jury trial, it'd bring the system down overnight... Court dockets would be backed up for half a decade, the state (prosecutors) would be forced to capitulate, it'd be glorious.... Could you imagine if 50% or more of all defendants demanded jury trials?
I had a friend once that a county prosecutor was trying to go after because the restaurant they worked out was burglarized, and although the police had absolutely zero leads or evidence, they went after my friend because they had a record of drug possession charges (BTW, drug prohibition must end, all drugs need to be legalized and regulated, but NOT commercialized... this would single handedly be the best and fastest way to reign in the power of the police, the militarization of the police, their inflated budgets, curb the power of prosecutors and stop the complete waste of over $100 billion state and federal funds annually). They kept trying to intimidate by friend into confessing and then accepting a plea deal, so my friend came to me for advice (I have previously represented myself in court on a criminal charge and had all charges dismissed along with beating multiple tickets while representing myself), so I told my friend to tell the prosecutor that you demand a jury trial, not a bench trial, but a jury trial.
The prosecutor made another treat that they'd go after the maximum punishment, but I told my friend to hold firm... A week later, the prosecutor offers my friend a better plea deal, my friend rejects it and demands a jury trial, again the prosecutor offers a better deal a week later, my friend rejects it... This goes back and forth for about 6 weeks, but my friend held strong and demanded that jury trial, eventually the prosecutor dropped all charges and left my friend alone forever.
Prosecutors FEAR jury trials, they're expensive, time consuming, and if the prosecutor doesn't win they look like a fool... If you are ever threatened by a prosecutor, they have no evidence and you know you're innocent, demand a jury trial.
Extremely informative and interesting.
Alan is on the list that won't be released.
I like how he did admit to getting a "massage" at Epstein's Palm Beach residence, but that it was definitely given by an "old Russian woman". 🤣🤣🤣
@workworkwork Here's hoping !
Epstein is famous for his stable of old Babushkas.
We defend what we are.
That statement is contrary to every single right guaranteed by our legal system.
Criminals deserve earnest and honest defense on the merits of the case. They do not deserve criminal conspiracies to acquit. That is a difference.
And the BBC interviewed him after the Maxwell conviction and described him as a Constitutional Lawyer while he spent 2 full minutes attacking Virginia Giuffre. Well done on the impartiality (not).
Bravo!! 🎻👏🏽 This is an excellent series, well researched and beautifully narrated.
Great series! So informative yet concise 🎤
Lol....he's guilty for being a defense attorney.
He is committed to his book, no matter how stupid he appears
🤭🤣🤣🤣
He is one of Epstien's clients and BIG HIT on Fox News! Of course.
Disgusting to know how he acts as if everything would be made up.
We can't trust anyone
The Margaret Cho narrations are amazing!
I do agree with right to Free Speech and right to being defended against “false” accusations “if” really false.
Could you please do one on "Who are the Clintons?" I believe they flew on the Lolita Express numerous times. Epstein was a frequent Clinton Whitehouse guest and Ghislaine was a VIP guest at Chelsea Clinton's wedding. Thank you in advance!
You failed to include Trump as a neighbor and frequent guest.
That dude is a 🤬👎
He wrote the forward of the Mueller Report. I was like, rutrow this ain't good.
I love this series. I’m paying attention now. I’m not normally interested in politics but Jan 6 and overturning roe got me paying attention. Thank you for this. I love Margaret Cho! 😂
That this man can look at himself at the mirror still is a mystery to me........
I do get the false reporting opinion he has. False accusations do ruin lives and it shouldn’t be controversial to treat both seriously. The actual assault should obviously be more severe in punishment.
Every disaster in the
World always has a Harvard Graduate involved.
Too bad this doc didn’t mention the suicide of his first wife ( and why).
Did she really commit suicide?
He is obscene. Plain & simple.
After watching many of his interviews...im afraid i believe Virginia over him...
He overtalks, shouts down, twists words, and is typical of what he perceives to be a "winning lawyer"
He crossed many boundaries in his friendship with epstein, over and above professionalism
And, hes trying to get papers to assist a certain UK person...
All, imho for legal disclaimer...
Madame Cho is the 🐐! Your videos are 🔥
Ah yes, Epstein the great intellectual.
The eyes never lie
No moral compass. Just disgusting
Everyone - no matter how terrible the charge - deserves a vigorous defense. But, I think Dershowitz became fascinated by his fame, and deliberately courted controversy. As to his involvement with Epstein; I have to question his account of their relationship. Now, his 'poor me' about being excluded by the rich and famous as being some form of 'McCarthyism' - please...
As you’d expect, he also support Israel’s crimes against Palestinians
Yeah, Dershowitz is a real first-class jerk outside of the courtroom. But his courtroom work is exactly what a good criminal defense lawyer should do, whether their client is innocent, guilty, or somewhere in-between. Are you saying the criminal defense lawyers should not defend their clients? Please explain.
The laws need to be changed so that an attorney may not intentionally lie in a courtroom.
he lies...a true defence is based on truth.
A pretty good video but you should have included some mention of his first wife
Wish I had him as an attorney back in 1998
A friend of Epstein - say no more.
ColorMeOakland - So were Bill and Chelsea.
He is so guilty!!
Haha “shocked” indeed.
excellent report... thanks
This Guy wow dude tell the truth!
The background music is too loud. I gave up 1:30 min in
I hope he's being investigated
I don't like nor defend Dershowitz, but I fully agree with this statement 1:54
Yes, broken clocks can be right.
What happen to the podcast?
He gives me the creeps
People are afraid of him, including myself
Birds of a feather…
Margaret would you please also do a video “Who is Chelsea Clinton”? Ghislaine Maxwell was a guest at her wedding. Bill was a flyer on the Lolita Express.
That will never happen.
Margaret wants to stay in the club.
@@airmark02 - But of course she does. Margaret had been funny once but now she’s tedious
They attended her wedding through the association of her parents, other than that she has no connection to them. Just a few years before that she and the Clintons attended Trumps wedding with Melania.
not even a mention of Finkelstein-Dershovitz exchange is a huge dent to the documentary
I left my under wear on.
Horrible. Plain horrible. They should, directly be cut off of their properties.But the government wont do that because it is a cesspool of tyrannical creatures who have their own self interests. Oh all the money and resources that could be stripped off of these buffoons and given to the kind and poor folks who are put down by situations!
He’s evil 👿
Dodgy Dershowitz, and that's a compliment
You can only get away with it for so long...
They're supposed to Love's learning the mind of certain people with criminal behaviors. He believes that rooting around in their brain, while under the veil of reasonable doubt, himself, allows him to better find ways to defend such people. And he's a very good defense attorney.
What a guy.
This is Saul Badman
good in depth view of a lawyer who faults no man. gross age of consent
How did you all score Margaret Cho?
This is not about you. I don't like this new thing where TH-cam is linking multiple videos from the same channel. It makes it harder for me to manage my viewing. I often view one video and then do something else and return later. This complicates it.
He got some of that so he has to defend.
Woooow! I had no idea. Now he is a top Fox contributor. Makes sense I guess.
Forgot Leona Helmsley
It is important that the law protects both side of the argument for the truth to come out .
What a monster!!!
I did not know he was also defending oj simpson. And he is still walking around freely.
