As Acosta prepares to testify before Congress, the Miami Herald attempts to defang Epstein defender and legal bully Alan Dershowitz, whose weaponized legal tactics derailed justice in the Epstein case.

An Open Letter to the Pulitzer Prize Committee: Don't Reward Fake News
by Alan M. Dershowitz April 3, 2019 at 10:00 am
"Julie K. Brown refused to investigate and/or publish highly credible information that undercut the simplistic and largely false narrative fed her by her biased sources. I know, because I have been providing her with much of the documents and information she chose to bury rather than report..." Read his full claims, here.
On Twitter:
"Pulitzers shouldn't encourage fake news and false “me too” accusations. Don't give the prize to @MiamiHerald for its uncritical reliance on a proven liar as its principal source and it unwillingness to publish evidence that undercut its source."
The Herald:
1. "Miami Herald reporter @jkbjournalist and her editor met with Alan Dershowitz Monday for a lengthy, off-the-record briefing regarding her investigative series #PerversionofJustice, which re-examines the case of serial sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein and his remarkably light punishment."
2. "Mr. Dershowitz was not the primary focus of the series. But he was Mr. Epstein’s friend and lawyer, and helped fashion his plea deal. One of the teenage victims also accused Mr. Dershowitz of sexually abusing her, a fact that has been reported numerous times over several years."
3. "At Monday’s meeting, Mr. Dershowitz read select passages from voluminous documents that he said vindicated him. He declined to let the journalists examine the documents or take copies."
4. "Since #PerversionofJustice published the following has happened:"
5. "Lawmakers have demanded an investigation into whether then-U.S. attorney Alexander Acosta acted properly." https://archive.fo/gTx7C
6. "Mr. Epstein settled a lawsuit filed by lawyers for some of his victims. He issued an apology — to the lawyers, not the victims."

7. "The Department of Justice’s internal watchdog opened an investigation into Mr. Acosta’s role in the secret negotiation that spared Mr. Epstein." https://archive.fo/1nAfC
8. "A federal judge ruled that the non-prosecution agreement Mr. Dershowitz helped fashion violated the Crime Victims Rights Act, which requires that victims be apprised of all plea deals." https://archive.fo/OOu8L
9. "The Herald successful petitioned a New York court for the release of sealed court documents in New York that could reveal evidence of a broader sexual trafficking ring." https://archive.fo/Z5l0x
10. "The Miami Herald stands by its story. You can read Part 1 of #PerversionofJustice here:" https://archive.fo/m3OUx

Alan M Dershowitz... you are a rapist of children. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/04/us/prince-andrew-and-alan-dershowitz-are-named-in-suit-alleging-sex-with-minor.html "The motion requests to add two more alleged victims to the case, including the woman, identified as “Jane Doe No. 3,” who said she had sexual relations with Prince Andrew and Mr. Dershowitz when she was underage."
What does Andrew have to say??? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/theroyalfamily/11363455/Prince-Andrew-says-my-focus-is-my-work-as-he-makes-first-public-statement-about-sex-abuse-claims.html
Speaking at an event for entrepreneurs at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he said:
"Firstly I think I must for the record refer to the events that have taken place over the last few weeks. "I wish to reiterate and reaffirm the statements already made on my behalf by Buckingham Palace. My focus is on my work." (which is selling weapons to dictators.. and enjoying underaged girl prostitutes.. like pretty much every single Royal since Queen Victoria's brood of perverts came of age..) (interesting points.....) The Duke arrived at his Pitch@Palace event, where budding businessmen are introduced to established entrepreneurs, five minutes early, looking relaxed and at ease as he joined around 200 guests.
They included Cherie Blair, Lord Mandelson, Bob Diamond, the ex Barclays boss; the Icap chief executive Michael Spencer and BBC News chief James Harding.
George Osborne, the Chancellor, arrived late and missed the Duke's speech, while Tony Blair stayed for five minutes to hear the start of the speech and left.
(Cherie Blair : “Hilary [sic] can you give me a telephone number the Qatar Crown Prince can ring you on and he will get in touch. Alternatively I can get his personal phone number for you. What is best for you?”) Tony Blair : https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/418816/Jeffrey-Epstein-Prince-Andrew-sex-scandal quote : "Court documents show banker Jeffrey Epstein kept multiple phone numbers, email and home addresses for a host of VIPs, ranging from Bill Clinton, 68, to Sir Mick Jagger, 71. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, 61, is recorded once, while his former cabinet minister Lord Peter Mandelson, also 61, has 10 phone numbers entered." Lord Mandelson : https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1364001/Peter-Mandelson-silent-contact-Prince-Andrew-friend-Jeffrey-Epstein.html Bob Diamond.. Barclays boss Bob Diamond resigns amid Libor scandal - https://www.bbc.com/news/business-18685040 Micheal Spencer - ICAP - Libor: ICAP fined $87m and three traders charged with fraud - https://www.bbc.com/news/business-24250750 Quote : "In a statement, Michael Spencer, ICAP's chief executive, said: "We deeply regret and strongly condemn the inexcusable actions of the brokers who sought to assist certain bank traders in their efforts to manipulate YEN Libor." (Who believes him?? who believes for a second that he wasnt in it up to his neck.....)

Interesting. I knew that he is listed in the book, but I didn't recall that Epstein had so many of his numbers.
