Former Trump lawyer claims he knows Epstein client list names: 'But I'm bound by confidentiality'

19. That doesn't make him more believable. I'd argue it makes him less believable.

Dershowitz helped negotiate the plea deal for Epstein in 2008. This plea deal:

The new charges against Epstein placed intense pressure on Acosta, who as a federal prosecutor in Florida in 2007 negotiated a secret deal with lawyers for Epstein that allowed Epstein to avoid serious prison time, protected Epstein’s co-conspirators and hid the existence of the agreement from dozens of alleged victims.

Earlier this year a federal judge ruled the deal illegal. But Acosta mounted an aggressive defense of the plea deal on Wednesday, arguing that the involvement of his office secured a greater penalty for Epstein than state officials otherwise would have managed.

Krischer continued: “If Mr Acosta was truly concerned with the state’s case and felt he had to rescue the matter, he would have moved forward with the 53-page indictment his own office drafted. Instead, Mr Acosta brokered a secret plea deal that resulted in a Non-Prosecution Agreement in violation of the Crime Victim’s Rights Act.”

His assertion also contradicted an investigation by the Miami Herald over the past two years, which documented unusual contacts between Acosta’s office and Epstein’s defense, and quoted participants in the case as saying that Acosta’s office crumbled under pressure from Epstein’s attorneys.

Dershowitz wasn't necessarily accused of doing anything illegal in the plea deal, but he KNEW it was illegal.
