Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz was accused of involvement in billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking ring by an attorney for one of Epstein’s victims, who claimed in federal court on Wednesday that the release of sealed documents will prove it.

Paul Cassell, who represents Virginia Roberts Giuffre, told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that the testimony of other witnesses will show Dershowitz’s involvement in the alleged trafficking of “his close friend Jeffrey Epstein.”

“When all the records come out it will show that Epstein and [Epstein’s alleged madam Ghislaine] Maxwell were trafficking girls to the benefit of his friends, including Mr. Dershowitz,” Cassell said in oral arguments for a case filed by the Miami Herald to unseal a collection of court documents relating to Giuffre’s now settled lawsuit against Maxwell.

The hearing came nearly two weeks after a Florida judge ruled federal prosecutors violated the law when they inked a non-prosecution deal with Epstein in 2007—and concealed that agreement from more than 30 of Epstein’s victims. The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the secret deal, which was handled by Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta, who was U.S. Attorney in Miami at the time.

Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor, was one member of Epstein’s legal team that helped broker the unusual non-prosecution agreement.

For his part, Dershowitz and his lawyers are also requesting the court release the trove of documents to the public—but they say it’s in order to prove his innocence.

1. But what about Trump and Epstein?

[exboyfil]

2. Since Dershowitz wants it out

could it mean that he was not involved?

[babylonsister]

3. Sure it could. If he's innocent,

we need to know that, too.

5. Or, with Dershowitz

He could be demanding the release of documents he knows don't exist so that when they aren't found he can claim evidence suppression due to prosecutorial misconduct.

7. I believe that the documents showed he had proof that he was elsewhere during the alleged incident

But I could be wrong

4. Cernovich was a big promoter of the Pizzagate theory.

Turns out that was projection too. He’s in this up to his eyeballs. This whole time he knew, and simply wanted to accuse someone on the other side of what he was doing.

6. Conservatives lose credibility from crazy claims

I do not believe Hillary is a. Serial killer. By trafficking in a similar claim against Dershowitz we put ourselves at risk of losing credibility.
