Something to keep in mind re Alan Dershowitz:

[no_hypocrisy]

Dershowitz is NOT a trial attorney. His specialty is appeals, that is, focus on the law, not strategy on researching the law and applying the facts to the law as well as presenting the case.

1. He is a pig like trump.

.

[SunSeeker]

2. Know who else hasn't done a trial? Roberts.

It'll be the blind leading the blind.

[underpants]

3. As I've read, he's going to do a speech probably in prime time Friday

That's his role here.

[hlthe2b]

4. that's why he is trying so hard to carve out this special role--not as a trial attorney

He's also not a constitutional law expert, though he seems more than willing to try to claim as much. His expertise was civil rights--way back when before he totally sold out and I suppose forgot at least half of whatever he originally knew.

5. He's probably working pro bono

... in other words - for free. I'd be surprised if any of these attorneys are billing Chump for their services. Even if they did bill him, they'll never get paid and they know it.

6. They are all working for the huge free publicity acquired by being on the trial

Then they will write books and make millions.

7. Anyone that works for Trump gets the bono eventually.

8. But he's famous!

trump has to have famous lawyers. His first choice was Perry Mason.

[mucifer]

10. Be nice to Perry Mason. He got Sonia Sotomayor interested in law.

[Baked Potato]

9. He's there just to give Republicans something to hang their verdicts on

Their poor little consciences will be needing a push here and there.

[Timewas]

11. Not sure where

But I read yesterday that he can not speak at the trial,he is not a full fledged member of the team..

[NCLefty]

12. He tries to shoot holes in the law, for sport.

[Quixote1818]

13. His specialty is horrifying little girls. Nt
