Alan Dershowitz is doing everything to get on the President's legal team except wear a sandwich board on Pennsylvania Ave.

(10,130 posts)Dershowitz was against the appointment of a special counsel but now that one is in place, Dershowitz does not feel it is appropriate for Trump to fire him.
I think that is a big problem for Trump. Eventually, in Trump's mind, Mueller will have to be fired in an attempt to prevent him from bringing evidence that could get Trump impeached. Since Dershowitz will not go along with that, he's not going to make Trump's legal team.

(10,130 posts)I used to resoect him. More recently, not so much.
But he has been consistent on being against the appointment of a special counsel.

(2,050 posts)Funny thing is you'd think a lawyer with that much experience wouldn't touch the dumpf with a 20 foot pole.
The dersh must not pay attention to the unending swamp revelations in the news for the last year, lawsuits right and left, overwhelming evidence of obstruction, conspiracy, money laundering, etc....
Would you want to tie off to a sinking ship?, would you want to defend the dumpf even if it destroys any reputation you ever had?.
Methinks there's other reasons....
