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
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..

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.

Thanks for the info! There is a reason why Mandelson is called 'Prince of Darkness', but somehow he always seems to fly under our radar (more or less).
And Islington was (is?) a hot spot for pedos - they had infiltrated all care homes there. It only came to light thanks to an amazing group of whistleblowers. IIRC, the PIE had their headquarter in Islington.

You're welcome, Yes, Relies on public's 'Goldfish' Memory, Yes, Yes. Yes, I'll do another Post.. PIE is too big to properly do in less than 200k words...I'll start compling, but may not get done today. PIE to NAMBLA.

Steven Adrian AKA Steven Freeman : According to the North American Man Boy Lovers Association (NAMBLA), a U.S. pedophile lobbying group, NAMBLA's British affiliate was run by Adrian from his office in the British Home Ministry, until he was fired. 07 Jul 2014 : Former chair of Paedophile Information Exchange claims he hid material in 'locked cabinets' at the Home Office https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/10950563/Former-chair-of-Paedophile-Information-Exchange-claims-he-hid-material-in-locked-cabinets-at-the-Home-Office.html Quote : "Theresa May, the Home Secretary, is today preparing to defend her handling of an investigation into the allegations of a paedophile ring at the heart of Westminster The Home Office has been accused of sitting on evidence of child abuse involving political figures for up to 35 years. 114 files relating to child abuse claims between 1979 and 1999 have been destroyed or lost by the department. Steven Adrian Smith, also known as Steven Freeman, became the leader of PIE in 1979, around the same time he began employment with an electrical firm contracted to work at the Home Office. In the book he wrote: "I had a furnished office completely to myself seven days a week on a rotating shift basis. "Much of PIE's less sensitive file material was stored in locked cabinets there, where no police raid would ever have found them." The BBC reported that Smith said his security clearance was renewed each year by police without his connection to the group being discovered."
https://ianpace.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/pie-documentary-evidence-7-steven-adrian-smiths-history-of-the-movement/ A growing number of our members were captives in US prisons. Coping with the special needs of these people prompted us to set up a prisoner support scheme which, under Peter Bremner and later Tony Zalewski, found correspondents for these prisoners and sought sponsors to cover the expenses of their membership, mailing them recommended books and items from the press service. ...NAMBLA was far better placed than we were to defend the interests of these people, and is now doing so"
7 July 2014 - Paedophile group leader 'stored material at Home Office' Quote : "But in his own account of events, Smith wrote of his surprise at the fact that the story was not noticed by most of the newspapers, saying he thought it could have brought down the then Home Secretary, Willie Whitelaw. "Obviously, the 'ruling class' had to be protected," he wrote."

Clifford Hindley :
One colleague of Hindley’s at VSU found that PIE had made a re-application to the department for funding in 1979 or 1980, and raised concerns with Hindley on the grounds that the organisation campaigned to legalise sexual relations with children. However, Hindley apparently just took away the paperwork and told his colleague to drop his objections. This individual recently approached Labour MP and leading anti-abuse campaigner Tom Watson, who took up the issue with current Home Secretary Theresa May, who ordered the permanent secretary at the Home Office, Mark Sedwill, to investigate; the individual has also been speaking to Operation Fernbridge, who are looking into grave allegations of children being procured for VIP guests at Elm Guest House in Barnes

"Watson raised the claims with Theresa May, home secretary, who ordered the department’s permanent secretary, Mark Sedwill, to investigate. The whistleblower suspects that Jim Callaghan’s Labour government, and Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative administration, which took over in 1979, may have provided funding for PIE." "PIE’s re-application for funding was during the period when it was affiliated to the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL). Harriet Harman, deputy leader of the Labour party, was then the NCCL’s legal officer. She is embroiled in a row with the Daily Mail over her refusal to apologise for the NCCL’s links to PIE."
Huge sums of TAXPAYER'S cash 'handed to vile child-sex pervert group' by Home Office officials https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/paedophile-information-exchange-taxpayers-cash-3197625 Quote: "The whistleblower said civil servant Clifford Hindley was the man who rubber-stamped the PIE grants around 1980. Hindley, who unusually for the time was openly gay, was well known in Whitehall as a pal of Jeremy Thorpe, the ex-Liberal leader who was acquitted in a sensational murder trial. The two often dined together at London’s Reform Club and Hindley took Thorpe out for lunch on the day the politician learnt he was going to be tried."
