Jeffrey Epstein's Lawyer Gets Shouted Out of Martha's Vineyard Farmer's Market: 'Go Home!'

Defense attorney Alan Dershowitz was jeered and escorted from a farmer’s market stand on Martha’s Vineyard after he insisted on returning to a vendor that had previously refused to serve him.

The retired Harvard Law professor, who famously represented both Jeffrey Epstein and President Donald Trump, had tried to buy food from the Good Pierogi stand last week but was turned away.

Snip

Miskevich has previously described why he refused Dershowitz’s business, “What was in the forefront of my mind was the fact that this was a high-profile attorney who represented several sexual predators and abusers including Jeffrey Epstein.”

Snip

Dershowitz was then escorted away by the farmer’s market manager, Ethan Buchanan-Valenti, as onlookers cheered. Someone offered Good Pierogi a tip, and the group clapped.

He may claim he only received a single "massage" while wearing his "tightie whities," but he spent significant time with Epstein, despite undoubtedly knowing what he was all about. Just as Trump did. There is zero doubt in my mind that both were complicit in Epstein's behavior. Hell, it is not out of the realm of possibilities that Trump and his teenage beauty pageants may have been the early facilitator/training ground for the later "recruitment."

There is so damn much more to the story (and far more people involved) that I can only hope it all comes out--whoever is implicated.

So that invites the public to refuse service based on their appraisal of "the content of his character". He can still be an attorney as long as his licence remains active and valid and he can get someone else to buy his specialty food stuff at a posh liberal enclave.

Dershowitz admitted to visiting Epstein's island and receiving massages.

People are naturally suspicious of what he really did there. He's also a vocal supporter of Trump.

And he acts like an entitled ass. He's complained for years about "not being invited to parties anymore" on Martha's Vineyard.

He should probably move.

He was just grandstanding. Btw he blamed the owner of the pierogi stand of not selling to him
because he was antisemitic. The owner is Jewish and has relatives who live in Israel.

Btw Derschowitz has reportedly used Epstein’s girls too.
