Defendants to whom he contributed advice at different times include O.J. Simpson, Jeffrey Epstein, Julian Assange, Harvey Weinstein, and even Donald Trump.

His new announcement has just made social media.

Harvard University professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz on Colorado decision

Dershowitz on Colorado: 'Never Seen a Decision That's So Anti-Democratic,' 'Absurd'

The Colorado Supreme Court's decision to disqualify former President Donald Trump from next year's presidential ballot "is so anti-democratic," constitutional expert and legal scholar Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Wednesday.

The court's 4-3 decision Tuesday made Trump the first presidential candidate in U.S. history to be deemed ineligible for the White House under a rarely used provision of the U.S. Constitution that bars officials who have engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" from holding office.

Dershowitz, appearing on "National Report,"called the decision "absurd."

Trump has not been charged or convicted of taking part in an insurrection, a term that has not been defined legally.

The U.S. Supreme Court will rule against the Colorado decision, and with more than just a conservative majority, according to Dershowitz.

Dershowitz says Jack Smith's case is weak against Trump

Jack Smith got some bad news that obliterated his case against Trump

Anti-Trump special counsel Jack Smith thought he had a slam dunk case against Donald Trump.

But Smith overlooked one big detail.

Jack Smith got some bad news that obliterated his case against Trump.

Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz slammed Smith’s indictment against Donald Trump as comically weak.

Dershowitz claimed the one area where Trump could be in trouble is where authors writing Mark Meadows’s biography recorded Trump saying he had a document outlining a battle plan against Iran that General Mark Milley prepared that would undercut Milley’s claim that Trump may have planned to start a war with Iran during his final days in office.

Sources say Special Counsel Smith does not actually have the supposed "smoking gun" doc Trump is heard on an audio talking about, which means he cannot prove it is classified and thus prove Trump knew it was classified. Prosecutors have no real evidence to show jurors.

Dershowitz encourages Trump to pursue a legal challenge to the FBI raid on his home

Barack Obama Set The Path For The FBI To Raid Trump

An executive order signed by George W. Bush in November 2001 stated that an incumbent president could not override a former president’s claim to executive privilege over documents. Should the incumbent president not agree with the former president’s claim to executive privilege in withholding records, the incumbent president may inform the former, as well as the Archivist—being the National Archives and Records Administration.

Nearly a decade later, Barack Obama reversed that guidance, which reportedly went back to Watergate and the Reagan era where incumbent president’s had the final say over past presidents, which gave them authority to act through the National Archives, Just the News reported.

Alan Dershowitz said, “The idea that a sitting president can somehow waive the executive privilege of a previous president really wrecks the executive privilege, which is implicit in Article II of the Constitution,” Dershowitz told Just the News last week. “You can’t have a privilege, which then your political opponent can waive.

Barack Obama was the start of many of our problems in our country.

The Real Vigilantes

A famed law professor revealed the one terrible thing CNN did to Kyle Rittenhouse

"Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial was as much about the conduct of the corporate-controlled media in America as Rittenhouse’s conduct in defending himself last August.

And the media may face a major reckoning.

That’s because a famed law professor revealed the one terrible thing CNN did to Kyle Rittenhouse."

Alan Dershowitz on Derek Chauvin Case

Some people think that the case may be reversed

based on remarks made by big mouth Maxine Waters.

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz is one of those people.

"We certainly can’t be confident that it didn’t (get compromised). We have to assume that the jury heard what Maxine Waters said, what Sharpton said, what Crump said, what others said. I think jurors knew that if they came out with a verdict, other than murder, the top charge there would be violence on the streets. Every mayor was prepared for that. Every police chief was prepared for that.

Why do we think the jury didn’t know that and didn’t allow it to enter its consideration? After all, the jurors were potential targets. Their names were released. If they had come to “the wrong verdict” they might be expected to be treated the way one of the witnesses was treated… painted in blood. I think the jurors learned that if they didn’t come up with the right verdict their businesses would suffer, their schools, their neighborhoods… That’s why I believe the case may very well be reversed."

Alan Dershowitz says Trump's challenge in PA is Winnable

Alan Dershowitz to Newsmax TV: Pennsylvania Lawsuit Is Strongest for Trump

"The strongest lawsuit is the one in Pennsylvania involving the votes by mail that were submitted before the end of election day but weren't received until after election day," Dershowitz told Wednesday's "American Agenda."

"There they have a very good chance of winning in the Supreme Court on the basis of Article II of the Constitution that clearly says that it's the legislature, not the state courts, that decide voting rules," Dershowitz said told host Bob Sellers. "And Pennsylvania used the [state] Supreme Court decision rather than the legislative decision.

Top Legal Eagle Defends Ghislaine Maxwell

Alan Dershowitz DEFENDS Epstein’s Right-Hand Woman!

This is the man who defended O.J. Simpson, acting as an appellate adviser to Simpson's defense team during the trial, and later wrote a book about it, Reasonable Doubts.

His point of being innocent until proved guilty is right, not just in this case but all cases but he's also been connected with Epstein and all those involved. However, I have never fully bought the story of many of these girls being abused against their will.

Alan Dershowitz explains how the Supreme Court just 'pulled the rug out of part two of impeachment'

"Look, the most important development happened today (Friday)," Dershowitz said. "The Supreme Court of the United States absolutely pulled the rug out of part two of the impeachment referral by granting certiorari, by granting review in a case where Trump challenged a congressional subpoena. And the Supreme Court said we're going to hear this case."

Read what Alan had to say...

To explain even further, Dershowitz is a Democrat and voted for Hillary. Don't know how he feels about that vote now.

Quote of the Day - Alan Dershowitz

"The fairest would be to immediately turn the report over to President Trump’s legal team and give them a week to write a response. Barr could then issue both reports simultaneously so that the American public could judge the comparative merits of both sides of this adversarial process."

He also noted that the report is likely to be one-sided--

“This is because prosecutorial reports – and Special Counsel Mueller is a prosecutor – are, by their very nature, one-sided. Prosecutors only listen to inculpatory evidence rather than including exculpatory evidence. They interview witnesses against the subject, but not witnesses in favor of the subject. That is why the Trump legal defense team needs to provide its assessment of the Mueller investigation.”
