Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

I wouldn't go out for coffee with them, but they have constitutional rights to representation.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

And you take that very seriously.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

Yes.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

You notice something that people don't understand about Dershowitz.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

He was asked by Trump to represent him in the second impeachment as well.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

He turned him down.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

Why do you think he turned him down?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

So people should know he represented Trump in the first impeachment trial.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

He represented him only in the first.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

And he was successful.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

And when Trump was impeached the second time, he asked Allen to represent him.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

Allen has had a lifelong policy of only representing somebody once, never twice.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

Why?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

Because he never wanted to be house counsel to the mafia.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

And so he, early on, had this position.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

He only represents somebody once.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

The mafia wants a lawyer who's an in-house counsel who represents them in all their cases.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

So that's the reason.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

And Alan never publicly explained it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#377 โ€“ Harvey Silverglate: Freedom of Speech

I know it's a fact because I've known him from the day that we met at Harvard Law School, 1964.
