Alan Dershowitz says lawyers are telling him they won't defend Trump because they don't want to be ostracized or 'canceled'

Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer who represented former President Donald Trump in his Senate impeachment trial, said six lawyers have called him to say that they would not defend Trump for fear of being "canceled."

Dershowitz made these comments to Newsmax host Sean Spicer on Monday, saying that while he had some "concerns" about the caliber of Trump's current lawyers, many qualified lawyers are refusing to represent Trump.

"I can tell you that six lawyers so far called me and said, 'We will not defend Trump even though we'd like to because of what happened to you, Alan Dershowitz, because you have been canceled,'" Dershowitz said.

Dershowitz also said that he had lost jobs and speaking engagements after representing Trump, and those other lawyers had seen him as an example of what could happen to them if they took Trump as a client.

"People won't speak to you. People are furious at you. I had a lawyer say to me, 'I just don't want to be 'Dershowitzed,'" he said.

1. They are lying - or he is lying

They don't want to not get paid.

They all know the guy is a deadbeat.

[Faux pas]

2. Boo Hoo Hoo

[Thomas Hurt]

3. pfffft, they wouldn't be cancelled, they would get Trump Stank on them and it won't come off.

Not to mention not getting paid and lied to and probably asked to commit crimes.

[Pluvious]

4. This is comedy gold, Jerry !

The lamers in The Groper’s orbit are without exception the most classless, tasteless, pathetic crew of losers our country has ever produced

[ret5hd]

5. Oh, I'm sure!!! Lawyers have always been the most delicate of creatures!!!

[tanyev]

6. Dope slapped by the invisible hand.

[Mike Nelson]

7. Ha-ha!

... how do you spell attention whore? A-L-A-N D-E-R-S...

[Midnight Writer]

8. Did he wave a sheet of paper with the names of these six lawyers?

Maybe he is being "canceled" because he is going on RW shows on Newsmax and Fox shouting gibberish.

Or maybe it is because he gets massages from underage girls.

Or maybe folks are tired of hearing a millionaire incessantly whine about being a victim.

10. THIS! He cannot escape the stench of

his relationship with Epstein.

[Jarqui]

15. Bingo! ..nt

[no_hypocrisy]

9. No professional/attorney ethics violation to choose not to represent a

prospective client for any reason.

[dameatball]

11. For someone that has been "canceled" he sure seems to be on a lot of shows.

12. The lawyers don't want to be scrutinized re questionable massages.

Can I withstand extreme scrutiny? Do I want to be seen as being in the same club as Trump’s current and recent lawyers? Do I want to risk my reputation defending a client who won’ttake my legal advice and cause me to fail? Can I afford the possibility of never being paid? Will my client turn on me and call down the wrath of a crazed mob on my head?

I doubt lawyers are calling Dershowitz out of the blue to inform him of their reluctance. I wonder if Dershowitz has been lawyer-hunting for Trump.

Dershowitz public display of victimhood seems to be telling Spicer he can only get booked on B list venues like spicer/Newsmax.

13. And the problem is ?????

What about those who associated with him in the past because they think it will open doors for them?

[Walleye]

14. Maybe they just don't want to land up in jail

[rustysgurl]

16. Play stupid games ... win stupid prizes n/t

[Fullduplexxx]

17. Oh The poor martyr cry me a river

[Eyeball_Kid]

18. Come on, folks! Enough of that "canceled" shit.

No one needs to make this a purely partisan issue. It's not.

Face it, Trumpers. It's just bad for business to be hired by Trump. He's a micromanaging, know-nothing, tyrant who only wants lawyers as mouthpieces and won't pay them if they are loyal to... REALITY.

Lawyers should just spell it out. Trump is bad for business.

19. Dershowitz: self serving comments. What's missing are the strong men crying

He's got to up his game, RW guys need the muscles man crying and begging and thanking him for such integrity that they lack.

"You are great Dershowitz," they said to me, "so great, I wish I was as great and brave as you but look (sobbing) at what happened to you. (more sobbing, tears, crying, strong men crying) I am not that brave as you, you are so brave and great. Yes, I want to keep my invitations coming at the Hampshires."

[apcalc]

20. Awwwww, poor baby.

[msfiddlestix]

21. Cry Me a River, fucking perverted asshole

[Marcuse]

22. I thought polite society was not speaking to Professor Underpants

[PJMcK]

23. Hey, Dersh!

You're an opportunistic loser. You've over-reached and made a mockery of yourself.

Besides, you smell like Trump: Disgusting.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. "The best lawyers have said, 'we just don't want to be treated the way Dershowitz was treated.

Dersh is such a crybaby
