I'm not only worried, I'm beyond outraged and disgusted. I want to know what we average citizens can do about this situation, because in addition to outrage and disgust, I feel powerless to help even though I'm highly motivated and willing.

With Mueller sniffing around, lawyers everywhere are probably shifting client records out of their offices and encrypting and transferring electronic records to off-site storage.

Hahaha.....the Big Joke's on Mueller.......I would not be surprised if Donald's lawyer had ALREADY done that.

In his realty business, TV triumphs and gaming industry,Trump has dealt with some pretty hard-nosed guys.

It's hard to believe a washed-out nothingburger like Mueller is the first one to pull this sordid trick.

Well there is attorney-client privilege.

At least there USED TO BE...

What’s next? Spousal privilege down the drain?

Andy McCarthy wrote exactly the same things today. Seems it wasn’t us who were fooled.

You have ‘The Right’ to an Attorney, you have a “right’ that that Attorney represents you and will not betray that trust. None of the mentioned are a Privlige.

I give him credit for being an honest open thinker, even if he does still have some hold-out beliefs as in support for Hillary.

I like your comments and I agree with your take on things.

I have a tinge of that belief in me also.

Seems like today both sides have people who are being pulled toward the other side.

I am a lawyer and this raid has shaken me to my core. This is an assault by the FBI on the foundation of our legal system. All attorneys should be up in arms over this outrageous intrusion into the right to counsel. This is unforgivable.

“I believe we would have been hearing more from civil libertarians— the American Civil Liberties Union, attorney groups and privacy advocates — if the raid had been on Hillary Clinton’s lawyer.”

I totally agree. It’s as plain as the nose on your face that Muellers target is Trump and he’s going after his lawyer to get the goods.

If this is allowed to stand, NO MAN would tell his lawyer a damned thing because the lawyer can just get raided by the hairy, wild eyed prosecutors!

This cannot even happen in a lawful USA. How did we allow these dark entities to attack POTUS? When in all of USA history has the Executive branch attacked POTUS? Which is the government of We The People: FBI, CIA, Mueller or POTUS, Senate, House of Reps and SCOTUS?

Chose you this day, which _government_ is government of USA: DCians or USConstitution.

President Reagan steered America to greatness and a optimistic future with limited government and personal accountability among other astounding accomplishments. There were a great many on the left and right who would not have this. Bush I and BJ Clinton are the original transformers of this country’s rot and demise. America has not been the same since.

Your previous post disses Dershowitz’s statements about some of the lawyers’ requirements for professional responsibility. So what?

Sometimes bad guys change. I’m not saying he absolutely has, but I’m saying I seeing hopeful signs.

You must be looking at the wrong post. I think it’s an earlier one. My beef with Dershowitz is not over legal issues. Virginia Roberts is a very believable witness / victim to all of the crimes she witnessed around the powerful pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, for whom she served as underage sex slave. Dersh was his attorney. Epstein got very powerful men to compromise themselves and he kept evidence, and he and whoever he worked for (Saudis?) then “owned” a lot of very powerful people.

Mr. Constitutionalist had sex with Virginia over 5 times, in three states and in the air. He denies it. Of course. Her testimony is extremely believable and detailed.

I’m not up on the actual truthful answer to my question, which is why I’m posing it. Has Alan Dershowitz actually informed us as to whom he did vote for in the 2016 presidential election? All I have heard is that he didn’t vote for Trump. To my knowledge, that leaves Hillary Clinton, Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, or a write-in. Maybe Hillary wasn’t his choice?

You know, I absolutely believe that. Big Don is a builder of skyscrapers! In that business, you understand risks and how to guard against them.
