Indeed, as PDJT often mentioned the need for a slew of Perry Masons to perhaps handle the Catch and Release cases, etc.,
there aren’t sufficient barristers around these days.
I’ve usually held that the invocation of Perry Mason was a high compliment and can only ponder how drastically different things would be today if our real POTUS had that caliber of representation . . .
Just imagine if we had had somebody like the Raymond Burr character serving as our AG instead of disasters like Sessions and Barr, or directing the FBI over failures in Comey and Wray.
It’s also been exasperating that President Trump wasn’t able to muster up worthy counsel to challenge his stolen reelection.
Finally, I gather the present legal beagles handling this second impeachment debacle leave much to be desired.
Hard to find good help . . .
During the lock down, for a lack of anything better to do, I read one of Erle Stanley Gardner’s “Perry Mason” novellas.
It differed from many of the television programs and made for television movies (I will skip the recent HBO miniseries which was completely reimagined with radical changes to the original source materials). Perry Mason was willing to engage in unethical conduct in order to defend his clients. He would tamper with evidence and plant evidence to mislead the police on occasions.
The “Cancel Culture” might condemn these books which were, of course, part of a series published in the 1930s and later.
