https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/alan-dershowitz-mocked-for-defensive-tweet-after-hes-named-in-damning-new-epstein-documents/Trump-defending attorney Alan Dershowitz on Friday posted a defensive tweet hours after he was named in newly unsealed documents pertaining to the late alleged child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
According to the documents, victim Virginia Giuffre alleged that Epstein required her to have sexual relations with Dershowitz on numerous occasions while she was a minor, while also alleging Dershowitz was an eye-witness to the sexual abuse of many other minors by Epstein and several of Epsteins co-conspirators.
Additionally, Giuffre claimed that Dershowitz worked on a plea deal for Epstein to avoid getting implicated himself as a co-conspirator in the late billionaires crimes.
Reacting to this, Dershowitz claimed that he actually wanted these documents to come out because they helped prove his innocence.
I demanded release of all documents because they contain emails and manuscripts proving in Guiffres own words that she never met me, Dershowitz wrote. I knew they would repeat her false accusations against me, Al and Tipper Gore and others, which her own lawyers admit are wrong.'
Many of Dershowitzs Twitter followers were not buying his spin, however, and mocked him as Captain Underpants in his replies, a reference to his past claims that he kept his underwear on when he received a massage from a young woman at one of Epsteins properties.
Notice that Dershy deflects by bring up the names of Al and Tipper Gore. Nice try, Captain Underpants. I don't remember Al Gore admitting to getting a massage, with or without underpants.

He wanted "respectable" people as friends to give himself cover. Some of them then opened themselves up to be blackmailed.

He's trying to squirm his way out of it. I hope they're all caught up in it.

much of this. Its gonna take a lot of work and evidence to get the truth out on this whole deal.
