Its the defense attorneys job to put up a defense and ensure the defendant has a fair trial. It is not to get a guilty person off.
I know a public defender. Most of her coworkers don’t care what the criminals have done and will lie and cheat to get them off. Thats what Hillary is.

Defense attorneys’ job is to DEFEND his client against charges brought by the state. He is NOT allowed to consider guilt, that would be grounds for disbarment and prosecution. Judge and jury determine guilt.
An attorney will never ask his client if he is guilty.

It is the job of the lawyer to but up the same vigorous defense, regardless of his belief of the clients innocense or guilt. It is the system (judge or jury) that will decide the outcome.
A lawyer must not lie and cheat to sway the outcome however. I believe that Hillary is quite capabe of lying and cheating to achieve an outcome. Or maybe she just doesn't know the difference.

My Brother-in-Law (before his strokes and subsequent dementia) was a high profile attorney in Central Florida. He used to call me crowing about the dirt bag who sliced up a mother and fed her to the dogs to dispose of the body or whatever (that's an exaggeration on my part) and how he got him off on probation. I'd usually respond that HE was the reason I had to carry a gun everywhere, because he was letting all the scum out of the system. He was totally uncaring. He'd just laugh. He was an egomaniac who would brag about beating the prosecutor who convicted Ted Bundy on a weekly basis. Beat him like a dog, he'd say. Defense guys are just LIKE that. You can't impose your sense of outrage on this subject because what you're doing is essentially what the other side wants to do, but it goes against your sacred cows so to speak. Hit Hillary on her corruption, her misuse and flagrant disregard for the laws that protect the men and women in harms way in the Intelligence Community. Hit her for Benghazi. Hard. Hit her for anything, but forget hitting her for her law practice. It doesn't resonate with the majority of Americans. Freepers are different, you KNOW that. Anything that doesn't resonate with the populace only serves to detract from the overall impacts.
