My Pillow Guy Has Hired Alan Dershowitz to Oppose Capitol Riot Subpoena

At one time, Alan Dershowitz was one of the country’s most prominent and respected defense lawyers. He was also a long-time teacher at Harvard Law School, where he taught students like Ted Cruz, Libby Dole, and Jim Cramer.

But somewhere along the line, Dershowitz became tied to Donald Trump. And that means that he has to work with Trump’s hangers-on as well. The lawyer’s latest client: Mike Lindell.

Dershowitz says that despite his political differences with Lindell, he felt the case was too important not to take. He told KVVR:

“It’s a great danger, particularly when the purpose is not legislative. We just don’t want Verizon to turn this over willy-nilly to a government agency, particularly a congressional committee as loaded and one-sided as this one is. … All Americans have the right to be protected against intrusion into their private lives, into their cell phones, into their texts, unless the government can demonstrate a compelling and legitimate reason.”

The lawyer continued, “There’s no question that they’re going after Lindell – not because he’s a Republican – but because he’s a Trump supporter and because he has raised questions, which I, as a liberal Democrat, might disagree with. But they’re legitimate questions under the First Amendment. Questions about the legitimacy of the last election. I’m in the case to defend his free speech, not the correctness of his ideas.”
