January 22, 2020--Trump Dream Team

Trump continues to fill out his dance card of impeachment lawyers, including one former member of O.J. Simpson's dream team--Alan Dershowitz--and the most famous special counsel of them all--Bill Clinton tormentor Kenneth Starr.

True to form Trump is seeing his trial in the Senate as an opportunity to produce and script a TV reality show. Sort of like Keeping Up With the Kardashians or The Apprentice. I'm sure he's aware of the fact that the Kardashian sire was Robert Kardashian, another O.J. lawyer.

As the Trump saga continues to inflate things get curiouser and curiouser.

One curiosity being speculated about is why Trump would add to his team lawyers such as Dersh and Starr. Mostly, it is being said, because he wants them on his team because they are frequently on Fox News and are thus well known to him and his redoubtable base.

This is true but why would Trump, who has his own sparsely spoken about relationship to sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, who specialized in providing to powerful men underage girls (see picture below), why would Trump want these compromised men  serving as the most visible of his defenders?

Both Dershowitz and Starr were on Epstein's own dream team of defense attorneys in 2008 when he was convicted of sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl and procuring another for prostitution.  The lawyers did such a good job that Epstein avoided jail time and served just 13 months under house arrest. A slap on the wrist considering the heinous nature of his crimes.

In addition, the aforementioned Dershowitz was accused in 2019 by one of Epstein's under-age girls of having being directed by Epstein to provide sexual massages to the Harvard professor. The case was settled out of court with the disposition sheltered from public view. Dersh, though, has said that he "kept his underwear on." 

There have been no equivalent accusations directed at Starr though he was a key member of Epstein's legal defense team and lost his job as president of Baylor University in 2016 when he ignored sexual assaults on campus.

And let us recall that the Starr Report about his investigation of Bill Clinton was full of lurid sexual details that went way beyond what Clinton was accused of, including an entire section of the report that discussed Clinton's penis. 

One could say that Trump really knows how to put on a TV show. Or one could say that Starr and Dershowitz are fun guys for the likes of Trump to pal around with.
