    I was wondering who would be talking to Epstein-associate and defender of pedophiles, Alan Dershowitz, about who's a good person after his many disgraces, but News Nation is just another news organization telling its staff to push right-wing perspectives. And the show he was invited on is from a former Fox host.

    Dershowitz argued that public opinion could shift if federal investigators are able to prove she provided false information on her citizenship application or that someone else submitted false information on her behalf.

    According to Wikipedia, she became a US citizen when she was 17, and if the latter was the case, presumably another, not her, would be culpable.

    Is Dershowitz becoming kind of like a birther?

    Dershowitz is a paedo, in his opinion 17 year olds are perfectly capable of making their own decisions regarding their citizenship, among other things...

    Possibly fourteen:

    Dershowitz publicly argued in 1997 for lowering the age of consent to fifteen or possibly fourteen, and he defended the constitutional basis of that position in 2019.

    The lawyer who defended OJ Simpson, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, and Donald Trump has no shortage of experience with horrible, horrible human beings, but doesn't seem to be very good at identifying them.

    Everyone on the Epstein files needs to shut the fuck up about being a judge of character. Even the ones who did nothing wrong are obviously terrible at that.

    What even the fuck?

    This guy is talking about someone else going to jail?

    Mr. "I got a massage at Epstein's house, but it's totes cool, trust me bro" guy?

    Defender of OJ, Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and Trump. And who lobbied for a pardon for a man who was convicted of transporting CSAM twice. He served his first term. Got out. And did it again. And Dershowitz thought he should be pardoned!

    I don't think the Trump administration really wants to open that door

    This should be getting so much more major press attention. Like, nightly. Flip the script and say Biden was in power and did a 5am raid on Boebert, or basically any other random MAGA figure. How badly would they be losing their minds then?

    That's exactly what we should be doing. We never properly finished the civil war, and now we have concentration camps and fascism. We need to deport or permanently detain all conservatives. This is their plan for the normal people, so they should see this strategy as fair game.

    Conservatives have no place in a modern society. We would be significantly healthier and safer without them.

    As I understand, her father may have made some misstatements in his citizenship application, so his citizenship may be invalid, and since she was a minor child at the time, her citizenship-by-derivation may would be invalid. He is conveniently dead now and unable to defend or clarify any allegations. But also, she lied about being 12-not-13 when they arrived, and was really 18 when her father was (potentially fraudulently) naturalized, so she's not even eligible for parental-derived citizenship. But also, she married her own brother to help him get citizenship, which is both fraud and icky. But also, she suddenly reports a multi-million dollar net worth, shortly after marrying multi-millionaire Tim Mynett (not her brother), which obviously means she's been taking bribes from Al Qaeda.

    Alan Dershowitz who, in 2008, helped negotiate a plea deal that gave Jeffrey Epstein and an untold number of his co-conspirators immunity for sex trafficking dozens of underage girls and illegally failed to notify any of the victims before the deal was signed? That Alan Dershowitz?
