Celebrity attorney and long-time Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz relied on his wealth of judicial knowledge during an appearance on Fox News to suggest Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg could be disbarred as a result of his nefarious plotting to indict former president Donald Trump.
Dershowitz made the comment while discussing Bragg’s decision to use former Trump attorney Michael Cohen as a witness.
“I don’t think an indictment can actually come forward now after the comments made by [Robert] Costello,” Dershowitz said, adding that Costello’s testimony included the notion that much of what Cohen said set him up to be liable for perjury.
“[H]e [Costello] has proved that the main witness is going to be a perjuring liar on the witness stand, and that puts the district attorney in a terrible position.”
“If he uses Cohen as a witness,” the professor emeritus added, “he could actually lose his bar license. It’s unethical to put a witness on the stand who you know is lying, and he has to know that Cohen will be lying. Or he tries the case without Cohen, which would be very difficult, or he does the right thing: he drops the case.”
Given that Bragg is a leftist himself and now a hero to the rest of the left for his corrupt pursuit of Donald Trump, it seems unlikely he will face any consequences for misdoings.
Still, that isn’t stopping Dershowitz from telling whoever will listen about the questionable proceedings of that unprecedented indictment. The lawyer made an appearance on the Kim Iverson Show where he also discussed elements of the case related to the alleged “hush money” paid out by the former president to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
An affair was said to have taken place back in 2006, for which Daniels was paid to keep quiet during the 2016 presidential campaign.
That interview, wildly enough, got out of hand when Iverson shifted her line of questioning from Alvin Bragg to the late Jeffrey Epstein, whom Dershowitz famously included among his client list. Iverson, one of the few remaining independent journalists whose mission is to report on big stories regardless of who it bothers, caught the Harvard man off guard when she asked him about his association with Epstein
“Are you used to having people come on your show to talk about one subject and then sandbagging them on another subject without any warning?” Dershowitz fired back, clearly upset at the insinuations. “This is the last time you’ll have me on your show.”
“I think I got what I needed out of you,” Iverson said as she wrapped up her time with the lawyer.
Iverson also asked him about the idea of Epstein killing himself.
“No. of course not— Wait, um, he didn’t kill himself without the help of some people. He killed himself with the help of um, guards.”
