Those of us who’ve tried in the past to promote a book about public affairs can only gaze with wonder at Dershowitz’s stunning success here, especially because arguing that Trump should not be impeached at a time when nobody is actually trying to impeach Trump is on its face a not particularly interesting thesis.

America is ignoring him. An informed public is critical right now. Alan Dershowitz is firing back over his ‘shunning’ on Martha’s Vineyard “I’ve got a lot of friends.

It’s the latest twist in a bizarrely long news cycle about a well-known legal scholar’s summer vacation that touches on many of the flashpoints in American civic life today: Trump, the exceptional anti-Trump political mobilization of educated women, the ambiguous posture of the mainstream news media in the crisis, the sometimes perplexing nature of social class in contemporary America, contradictory ideas about “law and order,” and the growing substitution of celebrity grifting for actual politics. So I 
have to make sure I write a book 
so I can have a book party at the Katharine Cornell Theatre [in 
Vineyard Haven]. The really crucial point in all of this is that while Dershowitz would like you to think that we are talking about his social life because he is being shunned over his pro-Trump book, the truth is the opposite — we are talking about alleged shunning (or lack thereof) because he is out promoting a book. The US just left the Paris climate agreement, How to check if your ballot was rejected — and possibly fix it if it was, Non-Americans have bet millions of dollars on the 2020 election, Facebook took down a massive “Stop the Steal” group after its members called for violence, Democrats have a very narrow path left to win back the Senate. Alan Dershowitz, Trump defender on being a discrimination victim: "I have experienced this firsthand on Martha’s Vineyard. “There’s a whole cabal of people who have decided that they will try to get people to stop interacting with me,” Mr. Dershowitz said. Something similar, I strongly suspect, was at work in the overwhelming enthusiasm Times reporters exhibited for following up on Dershowitz’s social life. 18,986, This story has been shared 18,811 times. In fact we used to always have a contest as to who would bring in the most, me or Arthur Lyman or 
a comparable lawyer. Finally in 
1990 or ’91 we were able to afford 
to buy a house. Tony Lewis had a beautiful West Tisbury home on the pond, and we rented it that year and the summer afterwards. Do Not Sell My Personal Information. And my real friends are completely supportive." We also subscribe to the Vineyard Gazette and read it all year and get a sense of the Island. “Alan’s not been on the beach in ages,” one resident told us. Tony Lewis had a beautiful 
West Tisbury home on the pond, and we rented it that year and the summer afterwards. But it’s also entirely possible that Mueller will bring charges against a few more Trump associates and ultimately conclude that the president personally didn’t do anything wrong, and the currently very low levels of political support for impeachment will go even lower. It’s okay. You can help by supporting Vox's explanatory journalism with a financial contribution today. I 
remember going out to the Red 
Cat [restaurant] and singing “Happy Birthday” to her, and suddenly from the next table comes this magnificent voice and it’s Carly Simon joining in.

I am. “So what evidence you see of collusion? Secondarily, while the possibility of impeachment is obviously a subject of Robert Mueller’s ongoing investigation, that investigation is not complete and Mueller himself has said almost nothing about it. But we’re told that Dershowitz, 81, hasn’t been in months. We should have coordinated better and done fewer.”.

Do you see anything?” “Well, first of all, I don’t see any evidence of collusion.

But rather than ending the story, Grove’s reporting if anything confirmed that the story by now had its own momentum — if a celebrity is defined as a person who is famous for being famous, Dershowitz’s social life on Martha’s Vineyard is now being covered specifically for being overcovered.
