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."
https://web.archive.org/web/20190404021240/https://www.miamiherald.com/latest-news/article223315075.html
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

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..

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

Mandelson is a problem... 1980's... 1978-1983: Architects of PIE infiltrate Islington gay youth group to lobby MPs directly with Heath & Mandelson’s help https://bitsofbooksblog.wordpress.com/tag/peter-mandelson/
Quote : "In 1978 Peter Righton and PIE Manifesto author Micky Burbidge team up to exert control over grassroots gay youth groups, establishing the umbrella Joint Council for Gay Teenagers (‘JCGT’) Righton & Burbidge take control of the London Gay Teenage Group (‘LGTG’) liaising with the Greater London Council and ILEA for official recognition and relocating the LGTG to Islington, Manor Gardens Community Centre In 1980 Chair Edward Heath and his Youth Affairs Lobby (‘YAL’) meet with Burbidge and the LGTG With the assistance of YAL Liaison member the British Youth Council (‘BYC’) and its Chair Peter Mandelson, Burbidge gets to take a group of gay teenagers to lobby a group of cross-party MPs directly with Clement Freud MP (Lib), Charles Irving MP (Con) attending with 4 Labour MPs" April-July 1980: JCGT’s success Burbidge goes to Parliament with the help of Mandelson and Heath " Burbidge’s triumphant if little-reported arrival in the House of Commons with an entourage of teenagers was facilitated by the Youth Affairs lobby, an early version of the Youth Parliament, chaired by Edward Heath MP, with the help of a YAL Liaison Group Committee member – the British Youth Council, chaired by Peter Mandelson."
2008 - Peter Mandelson profile: The Prince of Darkness returns https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/3127802/Peter-Mandelson-profile-The-Prince-of-Darkness-returns.html
Quote : "He (Peter Mandelon) quit as Trade Secretary in December 1998 after it emerged that he had failed to declare an interest-free loan from Geoffrey Robinson, a millionaire Labour MP whose business dealings were being investigated by his department. And in January 2001 he was sacked by Mr Blair after it was suggested he had put pressure on a Home Office minister to give British citizenship to Srichand Hinduja, an Indian businessman who had sponsored the Millennium Dome. The allegations were later disproved. His time in Government also saw some less serious - yet embarrassing blunders. While Trade Secretary he was also the minister in charge of the much-criticised Millennium Dome project, which he promised would "blow your socks off". " Yet Mr Mandelson was born in 1953 into a Labour family - his grandfather was Herbert Morrison, a Labour Cabinet minister. He decided to join the Young Communist League after Labour supported the US war in Vietnam. "After moving through Oxford university, the TUC, a London council and London Weekend Television, Mr Mandelson became the Labour party's director of communications and was elected MP for Hartlepool in 1992" "However he returned to prominence in 2004, quitting as an MP to become Trade Commissioner at the creation of the post at the behest of Mr Blair. "
2008 - Q&A: Peter Mandelson, Oleg Deripaska and George Osborne https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2008/oct/21/mandelson-georgeosborne Quote : "The row initially began shortly after Gordon Brown shocked the political world by reappointing Peter Mandelson, then the EU's trade commissioner and a sworn enemy of the prime minister, to the cabinet. Soon afterwards it was claimed that Mandelson had "dripped pure poison" about him during a meeting with George Osborne two months earlier at Taverna Agni on the Greek island of Corfu." "The encounter on the 238ft (73m) Queen K in Corfu this summer was said to be the latest in a series of social meetings between Mandelson and Oleg Deripaska - known as the "king of aluminium" - during Mandelson's term as trade commissioner." "One week later, the Sunday Times claimed Mandelson gave trade concessions worth up to £50m a year to Russia's richest man after being entertained by him on his "superyacht"."
Peter Mandelson is a great friend of Nat Rothschild, the son of JACOB ROTHSCHILD.
2008 - Use my Ferrari, Mandy told by Rothschild on Klosters holiday http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1080660/Use-Ferrari-Mandy-told-Rothschild-Klosters-holiday.html quote : "Lord Mandelson was in Klosters with his former spin doctor Benjamin Wegg-Prosser, now an aide to another Moscow tycoon, and Wegg-Prosser's Russian wife Yulia." "It is believed Mr Rothschild joined them at his family's retreat in Klosters."
2008 - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1281408/Mandelson-s-Alpine-drive-classic-Ferrari-Rothschild-heir-centre-500m-dinner-oligarch.html Quote : The former Business Secretary is pictured in the passenger seat of a black open-top Ferrari Daytona Spider, worth at least £250,000. At the wheel is his friend, 38-year-old banking heir Nat Rothschild, who was offering hospitality to the Labour peer at one of his chalets in Klosters, in the Swiss Alps. The picture is proof, if it were needed, that Lord Mandelson has a taste for the kind of high life that would otherwise be beyond his purse."
2008 - Tell truth about oligarch links, Mandelson told http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tell-truth-about-oligarch-links-mandelson-told-974461.html Quote : "A Brussels pressure group has also accused Lord Mandelson of being too close to the Europe-wide lobby group BusinessEurope. The Corporate Europe Observatory has written to the Commission's president, Jose Manuel Barroso, claiming Lord Mandelson gave the group "privileged access" during his term as EU trade commissioner.

2009 - Peter Mandelson and Jacob Rothschild walk on the beach by the Rothschild estate in Corfu " http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1205448/The-rich-love-power-He-adores-wealth.html Quote : "There is no doubt at all that the United Kingdom's First Secretary of State, acting Prime Minister and Lord High Everything Else will be very pleased with himself indeed. He has just spent a week in the way he likes best: in luxurious surroundings in a beautiful place and in the company of the super-rich. And best of all it was he who was guest of honour, the man at the centre of everything. "

"The two men were pictured strolling through Central Park together during a four-day break at the start of December, after the Duke of York abandoned plans to stay at the exclusive Carlyle Hotel in favour of Epstein’s Manhattan mansion."
2011 - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1358954/Prince-Andrews-choice-friends-called-question-AGAIN-day-stay-sex-offender.html "The financier has stayed for a weekend party at Sandringham, the Queen’s Norfolk home, and was a guest at the Queen’s birthday party in 2000 in Windsor. In 2001 he holidayed with the prince in Thailand, when Andrew was photographed surrounded by topless women on a yacht. '"

2012 - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9036927/Nathaniel-Rothschild-says-sauna-with-Lord-Mandelson-was-purely-pleasure-not-business.html " Mr Rothschild said: “The whole point of the Siberia trip was that we went there, spent a nanosecond at the [aluminium] smelter, we then went to the most delightful banya. “We were beaten by a 25-year-old banya keeper man, who has spent his life perfecting the art of banya." "Nathaniel Rothschild says sauna with Lord Mandelson was purely pleasure, not business Lord Mandelson visited a sauna in Siberia with a Russian oligarch and Nathaniel Rothschild, one of Britain’s richest men, where they were thrashed with birch leaves and plunged into an ice bath together, the High Court heard yesterday." "Mr Justice Tugendhat, who is hearing the case without a jury, was told that Lord Mandelson flew to Russia on Mr Rothschild’s private jet after meeting him at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. According to the Daily Mail article, Mr Rothschild acted like a “puppet-master”, inviting Lord Mandelson along to a dinner in Moscow to “impress” Mr Deripaska, who was in the process of signing a £500 million deal with America’s biggest aluminium company, Alcoa. "
Then all of a sudden...... No more MandelChild? The Bromance is ended?? No more hanging out with Nat King Coal and his army of Nubile Naked Birch Wielding Sauna Slaves???? Hmmmmmmm...

Rothschild’s spokesman will give me (the article's author) no explanation, but there was a time when the former European Commissioner would pitch up at Klosters with all the regularity of Santa." "Rothschild loved, too, to spring unexpected surprises on Mandelson. Once, he even arranged for him to be thrashed with birch leaves, along with Oleg Deripaska, the Russian oligarch, by a youthful man in a sauna."

"Prominent remain supporters including Tony Blair and John Major have been working with Nick Clegg and Peter Mandelson on a diplomatic mission to try to persuade European leaders to stop Brexit." "One source said: “We are not trying to subvert the government negotiations but we are trying to make sure European leaders are plugged into British politics and are not just getting information from the UK government.”" (sounds like espionnage to me...) "Clegg is well connected to undertake this shuttle diplomacy, having known the chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, for nearly 25 years. Some key members of Barnier’s negotiating team worked alongside Clegg when he worked at the commission."

2018 - Two Capitals, One Russian Oligarch: How Oleg Deripaska Is Trying to Escape U.S. Sanctions Quote : "Ensconced in society, Mr. Deripaska befriended Nathaniel Rothschild, a British-born financier whose father is a British peer, and through him met the Conservative Party politician George Osborne, a future chancellor of the Exchequer, as well as Lord Peter Mandelson, a leading figure in the Labour Party. Mr. Deripaska reveled among global movers and shakers, and he remains a regular figure at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He has always argued that these relationships were simply friendships, but soon questions would arise about whether he was really trying to buy influence. The British news media revealed that the oligarch had flown Mr. Rothschild and Lord Mandelson on his private jet in 2005 for a jaunt in Siberia. At the time, Lord Mandelson was the European Union’s trade commissioner, and in this role, he oversaw a cut in tariffs on aluminum imports from Russia requested by Poland and other members of the bloc. It was a boon to Rusal. (The European Commission has denied that Mr. Mandelson personally intervened in the matter.) Mr. Rothschild sued a British newspaper for libel for suggesting that the trip was anything more than an act of friendship, but the judge ruled against him. In the summer of 2008, Mr. Deripaska again played host, this time on his yacht, Queen K, off the Greek island of Corfu. Onboard were Mr. Osborne, Lord Mandelson and Andrew Feldman, a Conservative Party fund-raiser."
