In this instance, Dershowitz was a guest of Trumps buddy and Mar-a-Lago member Chris Ruddy, the CEO of the conservative news source Newsmax. The former professor soon found himself immersed in a Washington power-player schmooze-fest. The mood at the club was light and fun. Vice President Mike Pence stopped over and complimented Dershowitz on his frequent cable TV appearances. Commerce Secretary Wilber Ross said hi. A singer crooned Dont Cry for Me Argentina.

In Ruddys re-telling, when Dershowitzs name came up that afternoon on the links Trump offered praise for him because hed gone on TV and defended Trumps immigrant travel ban which is facing constitutional challenges and is stalled in federal courts.

Dershowitz said Trump made it clear he was aware that the former professor is very friendly with Netanyahu.
And the Israeli media is reporting that Dershowitz was tapped to be a back channel sorts between Netanyahu and Trump. This chatter prompted some to wonder whether Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner, whod been tasked to be the point person on a possible peace deal, was on the outs.
But Dershowitz said thats not the case. The president said, I know you know Jared from Harvard. Be in touch with him.

(4,533 posts)He has logical reasons for his views even those I disagree with. He can print money if he wants to, any rich appellate defendant would pay him huge sums. I read a book of columns he wrote and he has an awesome mind. Dont write him off, even tho I agree some of his views are in my opinion horrible. But they are not illogical.

(16,945 posts)now that he's out maybe we'll see OJ as a guest golfer at Mar-a-lago in the near future.
Maybe OJ can give IQ45 tips on life in "the Big House" after "the White House!"
