“Violating liens-attorney confidentiality is also a crime.”
Only if the crime is prosecuted. Michael Cohen, Trump’s attorney, being prosecuted for violating attorney client privilege. The FBI routinely seizes laptops and private documents on raids of homes in which correspondence between a client and attorney is seized. There have been reports the FBI raid on Mar a Lago swept up attorney client documents. Judges seem to have no issues with this blatant violation of Constitutional rights. How many telephone calls between attorneys and clients are being captured by prosecutors today?
Laws only work if they are applied fairly, equally, and even handedly by virtuous people. When those administering the law (police, prosecutors, and judges) are immoral, corrupt, highly political, and contemptuous of the law the judicial system itself becomes a criminal enterprise and enabler of tyranny.
Well said, and absolutely true. I remember as a kid reading comments by F. Lee Bailey in which he stated that he told his clients their guilt or innocence was irrelevant to the outcome of their trial - essentially saying that truth wasn't really the major determinant in court. I was not that cynical at that time in my life and I didn't really think of the implications of his statements. Now, sadly, I see how correct he was - only it's much worse now.
No consequences, which is today’s norm for those doing the deep state’s work, means unlimited cheating, lying, no ethics, no morals, etc. Our government has become a cancer.
Well put.!
