As I wrote earlier this week…
It wasn’t all that long ago that the liberal legal establishment was attacking the FBI for listening in on chats between terrorists and their lawyers. Defenders of Lynne Stewart, who was passing messages to terrorists on behalf of the Blind Sheikh, claimed that the government had violated attorney-client privilege and the Fifth Amendment by catching her in the act.
Stewart’s indictment was described as the ‘death knell’ for the right to counsel. Meanwhile, Democrats repeatedly violating attorney-client privilege to go after a sitting and former president is no big deal.
This began with Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani. Clinton Special Counsel Jack Smith is now escalating by going after 3 Trump lawyers.
Those lawyers are M. Evan Corcoran and Jennifer Little, both of whom were subpoenaed for testimony and records, nearly all of them possessed by Mr. Corcoran, by Mr. Smith’s team during the investigation. According to the indictment, Mr. Trump told Mr. Corcoran that he wanted to be at Mar-a-Lago when Mr. Corcoran did a search, and that Ms. Little did not have to be there.
Mr. Corcoran, in particular, could prove to be a pivotal witness should the case go to trial, given that he recorded extensive audio notes about his dealings with Mr. Trump concerning both the receipt of the subpoena and the search of boxes in a storage room at Mar-a-Lago undertaken in an effort to comply with it.
A federal judge allowed prosecutors to pierce attorney-client privilege and obtain testimony and most of Mr. Corcoran’s notes. Several damning excerpts from them were quoted in the indictment, apparently showing Mr. Trump trying to get around the demands set forth in the subpoena.The indictment also mentions a third lawyer — Trump Attorney 3 — who signed an attestation, at Mr. Corcoran’s request, certifying that a “diligent search” of “the boxes that were removed from the White House to Florida” had been conducted and that “any and all responsive documents” had been found. Prosecutors say the attestation signed by that lawyer, Christina Bobb, was false because Mr. Trump had already directed Mr. Nauta to move several boxes in a way that kept them from being searched.
So we’re up to five lawyers now. Five.
The junta didn’t just do this with one lawyer, they did it with five and there’s no reason to think that they’ll stop there.
I don’t believe that there’s a single case where five attorneys for the same defendant had attorney-client privilege violated. This is likely unprecedented in American history.
Apart from the illegitimately obtained evidence, fruit of a poisoned tree, the idea here is to intimidate lawyers.
There are now stories about how Trump can’t find top-drawer legal help. Not surprising when lawyers who take him on as a client know that they will be investigated, their notes seized, possibly prosecuted and certainly forced to testify against their client.
Not satisfied with setting fire to the first and second amendments, the leftist coup against the republic has decided to also burn down the fifth amendment.
Stalinist, for sure.
These attorneys are too comfortable to be candid. Without holding the skeletal integrity of their loved ones, both tiny and and young, and aged and fragile, as a consequence, how can we trust their responses?
We can’t take chances. But we can hostages. What are they going to do about it, call the authorities?
Let’s round them up now and get started. We don’t need permission.
Clearly, Americans can have EITHER the rule of law or the rule of Democ-rats. We can’t have both!
And Melania Trump? Will she be forced to testify against her husband?
You know she will.
No, she will not.
Cannot Trump sue the DoJ, so they will have to realise themselves in the simultaneous trial against Trump?
Cannot Americans do a massive class action lawsuit against the DoJ?
Cannot the trial be delayed until after the election – for a variety of novel reasons?
Cannot these vicious DoJ thugs be disbarred?
replace realize with recluse
The ones who are behind tis all should be the ones on Trial for Treason Start withSoros and Bragg
The Democraps are just killing this country dead. And our garbage media do not notice. Eventually, it will be their turn. Then maybe they will notice but it will be too late.
What ever happened to”The FIFTH”??????????????
All these are PRECEDENTS to be used against the DEMOcrats! PRESIDENT TRUMP and his AG – I suggest JOSH HAWLEY – should spend considerable time in the offices of every DEMOcrat above the rank of County Dog Catcher!!
The wheels on the Clown Bus go round and round, round and round ….
