There's A Way Back For Andrew According To Alan Dershowitz · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:04
  Alan Dershowitz is out here given Prince Andrew some more
• 0:07
  unsolicited advice, saying that Prince Andrew made a big mistake
• 0:11
  by settling his sexual abuse case with Virginia Roberts. And
• 0:16
  he made these comments while he was giving a interview
• 0:20
  to The Times Radio on Tuesday, And well, all of
• 0:23
  that sounds great, and it sounds easy for mister Dershowitz
• 0:27
  to say that mister Dershowitz wasn't privy to everything that
• 0:31
  was brought as evidence. And if we're talking about lawyers,
• 0:35
  I would say that Bretler is a better lawyer than Dershowitz.
• 0:39
  That's right. I'm on record saying that I'd much rather
• 0:42
  have Andrew Brettler as my lawyer than Alan Dershowitz any
• 0:45
  day of the week. And Andrew Brettler was the lawyer
• 0:48
  that was employed by Prince Andrew. So let's not act
• 0:52
  like Prince Andrew didn't get good counsel here. Let's not
• 0:55
  act like Prince Andrew didn't have a lawyer. Of note,
• 0:57
  he had the lawyer that everybody in Hollywood runs to
• 1:00
  when they make a mistake, and not only that, but
• 1:03
  Bretler actually wins. Andrew Brettler is not the kind of
• 1:06
  lawyer that's just gonna tell his client to settle, especially
• 1:09
  when it's a client like Prince Andrew that's just never
• 1:12
  going to happen. And Alan Dershowitz out here running off
• 1:15
  at the trap talking about this, that or the other
• 1:18
  thing makes for a good interview maybe, but when you
• 1:21
  run it and cross check it with reality, it just
• 1:24
  doesn't stand up. Today's article is from The Independent and
• 1:28
  the headline Prince Andrew may have been pressured by the
• 1:31
  Queen to settle sex case. Jeffrey Epstein's former lawyer suggests, So,
• 1:36
  here's a good idea. Why doesn't Prince Andrew just hire
• 1:39
  Alan Dershowitz and re litigate. If that's the case and
• 1:42
  you feel like your name is being dragged through the
• 1:44
  mud and all of this is untrue, sue all of
• 1:47
  these outlets that have said it. Sue everybody that said it,
• 1:50
  and let's get to discovery and for some nice flavoring
• 1:53
  on top of it, have Dershowitz be your lawyer. Let's
• 1:56
  go all the way in. If you're so confident in
• 1:58
  what you're saying, if you're so confident that Prince Andrew
• 2:01
  didn't do what has been alleged of him, then the
• 2:04
  time for talk is long over. Let's get a little
• 2:07
  bit of action. But the problem is that's not going
• 2:09
  to occur because the actual lawyers who are looking at
• 2:12
  all of this, Prince Andrew's lawyers, they knew that he
• 2:15
  was up against it, and they knew that he had
• 2:17
  no chance in hell to win over a jury if
• 2:19
  it ever went to trial. That's why he paid a
• 2:22
  big ass bag. This article was authored by Andy Gregory.
• 2:28
  Jeffrey Epstein's former lawyer. Alan Dershowitz has said he suspects
• 2:31
  Prince Andrew was pressured by his mother, the Queen Elizabeth
• 2:35
  Iid to settle the civil sexual assault case against him.
• 2:39
  I don't buy that either. If the Queen wanted him
• 2:41
  to settle, that would have happened a long time ago.
• 2:44
  It wouldn't have got to the discovery phase. So again,
• 2:47
  Alan Dershowitz is just throwing shit out there and making
• 2:50
  pretend he knows what he's talking about, and the fact
• 2:53
  that he keeps getting platformed is hilarious. Honestly, I thought
• 2:56
  he didn't know anything about Epstein. I thought he had
• 2:58
  no idea about the operation, then why do you keep
• 3:01
  opening your mouth? Dumb? Dumb. The Duke of York reached
• 3:05
  a multimillion pound settlement in February twenty twenty two with
• 3:08
  Virginia Roberts, the Epstein survivor who accused Andrew of sexually
• 3:13
  abusing her while she was under age in the United States,
• 3:16
  But mister Dershowitz, who worked for Epstein from two thousand
• 3:20
  and eight, has now claimed that he believes the Duke
• 3:22
  of York made a terrible mistake in paying millions to
• 3:26
  settle the case. Not a terrible mistake in paling around
• 3:29
  with Epstein, not a terrible mistake in giving Glenn Maxwell
• 3:33
  run of the keep. No, but settling with an accuser
• 3:37
  who credibly accused you. Oh, that's a gigantic mistake. Is
• 3:41
  this guy for real or what real? Easy to say
• 3:44
  that shit from the Peanut Gallery when you're not the
• 3:46
  one on the hook. And it doesn't matter that Dershowitz
• 3:49
  is a lawyer. He hasn't seen all of this documentation.
• 3:51
  He's not privy to what Prince Andrew and Virginia brought
• 3:55
  out in the court, So I don't even know what
• 3:57
  he's talking about I think he made a terrible mistake.
• 4:00
  I suspect he was pressured by his mother to make
• 4:02
  that mistake, Mister Dershowitz told Times Radio on Tuesday, You suspect, huh,
• 4:07
  how would you know? And that's the real question, Dershowitz, Mister,
• 4:11
  I have nothing to do with any of these people.
• 4:13
  Is he just speculating? Is he just shooting from the
• 4:16
  hip like everybody else, or does he have the inside track,
• 4:19
  because it can't be both ways, right, You can't be
• 4:21
  an insider and not know anything. So I guess that's
• 4:25
  my question. Is he an insider still or is he
• 4:27
  just shooting from the hip and speculating. And if he
• 4:30
  is just speculating, why should anyone take anything he has
• 4:33
  to say about Prince Andrew and Virginia Roberts and their
• 4:36
  settlement Seriously? If he had fought that case, I believe
• 4:40
  he would have won. I believe the case would have
• 4:42
  been dismissed on a variety of grounds. But he didn't
• 4:45
  want to sit through a deposition, or people around him
• 4:47
  didn't want to sit through a deposition, so he settled
• 4:50
  the case. Oh, if it was just that easy, what
• 4:53
  an absolute load of bs? You really think Andrew Brettler,
• 4:57
  of all people, is just going to say, you know what,
• 4:59
  let's settle. We have enough here that we could win,
• 5:02
  We have enough here from discovery that we could really
• 5:04
  crack this off, but let's just settle, because you know
• 5:07
  why not? Now, who does that make sense to? Maybe
• 5:11
  Alan Dershowitz and his mushdass old geriatric brain. But the
• 5:15
  rest of us, well, we can all see the forest
• 5:17
  through the trees, and the fact that Prince Andrew settled
• 5:20
  here tells us everything that we need to know. Now.
• 5:23
  Of course, Alan Dershowitz is entitled to his opinion, But
• 5:26
  like most things that come out of Dershowitz's mouth, I
• 5:29
  happen to disagree, and I think that Bretler would disagree.
• 5:32
  I wonder if anyone got Breler on record, or if
• 5:35
  anyone's going to get Breler on record. In response to
• 5:38
  Dershwitz making claims such as this, he's basically saying that
• 5:41
  Andrew Brettler is not a good lawyer, that Andrew Butler
• 5:44
  has no idea what he's doing. And I find that
• 5:47
  shit to be laughable. And if you don't know who
• 5:49
  Andrew Butreler is, just do a quick Google search and
• 5:52
  you'll learn real quick. Often you settle cases not because
• 5:56
  you're guilty of what you're charged with, but because you
• 5:59
  don't want to admit other things that you've done. Like
• 6:02
  what what else has Prince Andrew done that he didn't
• 6:05
  want to admit? He added, I feel sorry for Prince
• 6:08
  Andrew for this reason, assuming everything they say about him
• 6:11
  is correct. The woman who accused him was over the
• 6:14
  age of consent. She apparently bragged about it to her friends,
• 6:18
  and she collected millions and millions of dollars for that. Yeah,
• 6:21
  I feel sorry for him. Meanwhile, how many millions of
• 6:24
  dollars did you collect, mister Dershowitz, to protect Jeffrey Epstein
• 6:28
  when he legitimately was raping high school girls in Palm Beach?
• 6:33
  Do we want to talk about that for a minute
• 6:35
  or not? How many millions did you pocket on the
• 6:37
  back of those girls suffering? Now, I get it, that's
• 6:40
  your job as a lawyer, But don't sit here and
• 6:42
  try and act like you're mister squeaky clean, like you
• 6:45
  had nothing to do with Epstein this whole entire time. Now,
• 6:49
  the allegations that Virginia made against Dershowitz, let's be very
• 6:53
  clear she retracted them. So I'm not gonna sit here
• 6:56
  and try and make that argument. I wasn't there. I
• 6:58
  don't know. What I do know is this Dershowitz coming
• 7:02
  out and acting like he's some sort of moral barometer
• 7:05
  is some of the most laughable shit that I've ever
• 7:08
  seen in my life. This is a condemnable man. This
• 7:11
  is a man that wasn't only Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer, this
• 7:14
  was Jeffrey Epstein's friend. So run home and tell that
• 7:17
  Alan Dershowitz. The allegations levied at Epstein and the pedophile
• 7:22
  Financiers Associates have again come to the floe after US
• 7:26
  judge ordered the release of hundreds of core documents relating
• 7:30
  to a defamation lawsuit brought by Miss Roberts against Epstein's
• 7:33
  former partner and convicted sex trafficker, Glen Maxwell, which was
• 7:38
  settled in twenty seventeen. The trove includes forty documents of
• 7:42
  evidence from Johanna Schoberg, who has claimed that the Duke
• 7:46
  of York touched her breast while sitting on a couch
• 7:48
  at Epstein's Manhattan apartment in two thousand and one. And
• 7:52
  we just got done going through that whole entire deposition,
• 7:55
  and now we've moved on to the Sarah Ransom deposition
• 7:58
  so that you folks get the whole story, unfiltered, unadulterated,
• 8:03
  and that way you have all the contacts you need
• 8:05
  to decide what you believe. Further extract saw arguments resurface
• 8:10
  from Maxwell's lawyers, who claimed that Robert's allegations of having
• 8:14
  sex with Prince Andrew in a bathtub while she was
• 8:17
  underage or obvious lies because the bathtub in question was
• 8:21
  too small for a man of his size to enjoy
• 8:23
  a bath in, let alone sex. Anybody who's ever been
• 8:26
  to college, or anybody who's ever had, let us say,
• 8:30
  an adventurous younger life, knows that that shit is bs,
• 8:33
  back seats of cars, closets, under tables, you name it.
• 8:38
  Come on, now, what we're all stupid. We were never teenagers,
• 8:41
  we never went to college. The bathtub's too small, that's
• 8:45
  right up there with my fingers are too fat, or
• 8:47
  I don't have the right kit to go to the
• 8:49
  pizza joint. I mean, for real, who the hell's buying
• 8:51
  this nonsense. Documents unsealed on Monday also included emails filed
• 8:57
  to the court by mister Dershowitz lawyers in an attempt
• 9:00
  to discredit Epstein accusers Sarah Ransom. These appear to show
• 9:03
  Miss Ransom claiming to a reporter that Epstein had secretly
• 9:07
  filmed and kept tapes the Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, and
• 9:10
  Richard Branson having sex. All three men reject the claims.
• 9:14
  A spokesperson for mister Branson Virgin Group said, any suggestion
• 9:18
  that Richard Branson was involved in any sex tape is
• 9:21
  entirely false. The allegations are baseless and unfounded. The actions
• 9:26
  of Jeffrey Epstein were abhorrent, and we support the right
• 9:29
  of justice for the many victims impacted by his abuse.
• 9:33
  So as far as the videotapes go, I don't know.
• 9:36
  I didn't see them. I wasn't there. That's going to
• 9:39
  have to be something that either comes out later on
• 9:41
  or that Sarah herself is going to have to answer
• 9:44
  at some point. They added, we categorically reject all allegations
• 9:48
  made by Sarah Ransom. In twenty nineteen, she admitted to
• 9:52
  The New Yorker that the tapes had been invented, but
• 9:55
  then we know that she doubled down on her account,
• 9:58
  making her statement on the British TV show Good Morning Britain.
• 10:02
  So which is it. We're gonna have to wait and
• 10:05
  see when all the smoke clears and when all of
• 10:08
  the what's what has been said? Because as of now
• 10:11
  we got some serious allegations here, right question is are
• 10:14
  they true? Mister Clinton's fokesperson also directed The Independent to
• 10:20
  the twenty nineteen New Yorker article which reported Miss Ransom
• 10:23
  as saying she had invented the tapes to draw attention
• 10:26
  to Epstein's behavior and to make him believe that she
• 10:30
  had evidence that would come out if he harmed her.
• 10:33
  But Miss Ransom alleged on Tuesday that our retraction had
• 10:36
  been in response to threats from Epstein that she and
• 10:39
  her family would be harmed, and claims she would be
• 10:42
  willing to testify under oath. As she told ITVS Good
• 10:45
  Morning Britain, there are videos that exist. So Sarah Ransom
• 10:49
  threw down the gauntlet. She says, Look, I will go
• 10:52
  under oath and I will say under oath that these
• 10:55
  videos exist. And now that Sarah Ransom has thrown down
• 10:59
  the gauntlet like that, I wonder what the response is
• 11:01
  going to be. And once we have a response or
• 11:04
  some movement one way or the other, we will get
• 11:06
  it added to the catalog. All right, folks, that's going
• 11:09
  to do it for this one. All of the information
• 11:11
