Trump’s Philly lawyers won the impeachment trial. But they’re facing a backlash at home
Philadelphia Inquirer via MSN ^ | 02/13/2021 | Jeremy Roebuck

Michael van der Veen hired 24-hour private security for his family after vandals smashed windows and spray-painted “TRAITOR” on the driveway of his suburban Philadelphia home Friday night. He told reporters Saturday he received more than 100 death threats.

And they acknowledged being caught off guard by the level of rancor from Trump’s critics and supporters alike — even given the country’s fiercely divided politics and how other lawyers in his orbit have fared.

“I’ve been representing controversial clients for 30 years, and I’ve never experienced this type of vitriol,” said William J. Brennan, another local member of the team whose past clients include priests accused of sexual abuse and judges facing corruption charges

The lawyers did a good job. It is sad and disgusting that they are harassed and threatened. If I was falsely accused I would want defense attorneys who believe in due process, a uniform standard of justice and would fight so justice could be secured for me.
Hate, violence and cancel culture have no place in our country.

That’s a good take on what’s happening with the fences etc., in DC but I also believe it’s to TRY to impress on the American people that they, the legislators TRULY are in danger and need protection that ordinary citizens don’t need or DESERVE! This country never moved from the WILD WEST in other words. IF ONLY...we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in today!

They are clueless what other countries and its citizens must think about the United States if its lawmakers need this much protection from ordinary citizens? But do they care? Of course not - everything to their advantage...Like they were smug about losing yesterday and acting as if they WON. Pelosi said “the majority won” and I’m sitting there looking at 57-43 for acquittal on the screen and wondering if I heard right!

I scanned through your word thickets and could not find even one principle by which the FEDERAL government including Congress could dictate to STATES how to run their elections.

Rather than run a litany of rants about how Trump, the GOP Senate, the GOP House didn’t lift a finger to control voting processes inside States, couldn’t you cite a legal course for FEDERAL elements to take over elections?

I don’t think you can.

Prove me wrong.

Start with the Constitution and work down to federal statutes.

And if you can’t do it, it’s OK. Just be honest and humble enough to say for example, “I’m angry, I want to blame someone, I have a need to blow it out my a$$!”

Actually, OJ was home free the day the trial was moved from Brentwood to LA. That way, he got an LA jury. There was no way an LA jury was going to convict him regardless of who his attorneys were. The opposite holds true for white people. You do not want to be white and facing a big city jury. Yet one more reason to avoid big cities.

You have it reversed. It was 43 to 57 for acquittal. There were 57 votes for conviction. They needed 67 for conviction.

G. Gordon Liddy, whenever experiencing vandalism in his neighborhood back in th 60s and early 70s, would dress up in Army gear, armed, to hunt them...all night long. He enjoyed it.

He describes these hunts in detail in his book, "Will". Liddy, you may recall, is the former FBI lawyer who organized and directed the burglary of the DNC headquarters in the Watergate bui!ding during the Nixon Administration. Later, he wrote the book "Will" and, after that, "When I Was A Kid, This Was A Free Country" .

Yes, many know it’s cyberwarfare.

But the traitors inside government acted as moles and protected each other. Trump and his people found, dissolved, transferred, retired, fired and replaced countless ‘Resistance’ persons and groups. But the traitors were hidden among millions of federal workers and contractors or protected by traitors in Congress.

Trump could not reveal and fire at will because federal employees obtain tenure and have many protections ESPECIALLY THE SES who think and actually do run the Federal Government.

The SES and senior peers form the so-called Deep State.

Only Congress and the President can pass laws to overcome the Deep State.

Now ask yourself the question WHO were the GOP leaders in 2017-2018?

The answer to that question will explain WHY Trump or any President could do nothing about reforming the federal workforce.

Then note that Trump was investigated by the Deep State for Russia Collusion between 2017 through 2019 which further hampered reforms

So now, ask yourself who do you blame, Trump or the Deep State?

It’s easy for lazy minds to blame Trump as it’s just one name, one syllable to remember.

Whereas, trying to blame the Deep State requires following hundreds of names, thousands of actions, and pinning them down on their treachery. That’s difficult but some do it.

But some others find it EASY to wing it and say, “TRUMP!” is to blame.

Yeah OK lazy minds, but guess what? Your finger pointing guided from your one syllable capacity brain isn’t going to do squat for cleaning up the District of Corruption.

Trump did a lot to drain the Swamp and has revealed the rest of what remains to be drained to the American People.

So what can the American People do now?

First Things First .

GET THE TRUTH OUT.

That means make it the HISTORICAL RECORD.

Don’t let Marxists write their lies as history.

Remember Orwell wrote in 1984:

“THE PAST WAS ERASED, THE ERASURE WAS FORGOTTEN, THE LIE BECAME THE TRUTH.”

Getting the truth out is CRUCIAL. There is no winning this war without Americans having the truth emblazoned in history.

How the frick do ordinary Americans get the truth out?

Step 1:
Hammer their STATE legislators to get ACCESS to the stored paper ballots which by federal law must be protected for the next 18 months.

Step 2:
Bring in REAL trustworthy forensic auditors to conduct comprehensive audits of the physical paper ballots DENYING ANY PROPOSED AUDITORS FROM SUSPECT GROUPS including groups tied to Dominion, ES&S, Smartmatic, others in their space, and any government offices tied to these groups or defending voting irregularities.

Step 3:
Investigate the physical ballots to determine which are valid, which are counterfeit. The valid ballot counts can be compared against previous final counts tabulated.

Here is one team leader that will do it for free in minimal time across many states:

If you don’t know that the constitution gives the state legislatures the power to set the procedures for an election then I really can’t help you. If you don’t understand that only an informed and possibly angered citizenship can influence there legislators then I can’t help you.

Just cover you eyes and your ears and keep pretending that all you could do was to sit back and let the democrats steal the elections.

And yes the federal government does have the power to prevent certain kinds of frauds and procedures in an election. It was talked about after the election. The Equal protection clause I believe.

Imagine a state legislature declared that all republican votes were null and void. Only democrats could run in elections. Do you really thing that the federal government and the country would have no choice but to accept that? That is just one example. Anyway that is all I am going to say about it to you. Waste of time to say more.

Agreed.

However, once all voting mechanisms are under the control of coordinated “foreign and domestic” global socialists, it has already been proven more than theoretical (marx), election tabulation now belongs to the no moral boundaries marxist.

So we now have recall signature efforts ongoing across AZ, to go after AZ senate (R) Paul Boyer, for betraying the slim Republican majority, after he presumably met with RINO gov Ducey (Ducey being heavily involved with China) a week ago.

As such, the lowlifes UNLAWFULLY holding, or acting, in charge of Arizona’s ballots, who aren’t even lawmakers, along with the rest of the Demon party and mass media, are laughing their collective heads off.

Even with the law totally on their side, the AZ Senate majority cannot even do a thing about the highly unlawful and totally dishonest Maricopa County Election Board.

The derp state always has their chess pieces in place and ready. In the so called “swing states” most of these pawns are Republicans.

It shouldn’t take a miracle to gather enough signatures to begin taking down Paul Boyer, but it will take cooperation from a currently hard left demon party sheriff, and his department, which is currently unwilling to carry out a new election, with a senate ordered ballot validation system challenging Boyer.

What we are seeing is total left wing lockdown and control of the entire election process.

Under the current system, (R) Paul Boyer will be re-elected in a recall scenario, because the anti-American global socialist left controls the election system, and the Republicans in the senate don’t have the will to wreck this backstabber.

They know the entire election system is now under the control of the left, even though they are yet the majority for two more years, at which point they may well become the minority.

Bottom line, unless we are willing to by force take back the election process, and to make it honest, there will be a lot of good intentions and efforts, but America will not have another true or real election.

We will have UNIPARTY election theater, and we learn more about what being slaves actually means.

You have a lot of concerns, opinions, fears, observations, cynical predictions. That’s not a bad thing. But it’s not entirely accurate and not fully informed.

Mark Finchem, Lyle Rapacki, Shelby Busch, Steve Robinson, Karen Fann, Sonny Borrelli, thousands of volunteers, all know what you know and then some.

It would be more valuable if you scanned happenings with what these and other folks in their sphere are doing rather than cogitate a list of thoughts that those in the arena know already.

News is there but it’s made scarce, it’s made deliberately hard to find.

Lyle is a friend of mine. Fann is a bit moderate, and until very recently, with others in the senate, have largely given the AZ MCEC whatever it wanted. But better a late bloomer then a never bloomer.

I am a resident of three states including AZ, but have been largely in VA due to

MCBQ, Belvoir, “langlang”, dee-eye-aye, and inscom, and have been jsoc and socom for decades. Yah, pretty much everyone around me have identified the underlying moral spiral, have had to try and navigate the social and political marxist split within the DoD, IC, and DOJ, and have been discussing the loss of free elections in the US for about 12 years. Some are way up on the gru SMOTE-B origins of our hammer and Smartmatic, which had been near universal within Diebold, and which has been integrated with Dominion, Hart Intercivic, ESS, and others globally.

Democrats and their rioting supporters will be Democrats, doing what they gotta do to intimidate, frighten, hurt, smear, or kill their conservative opponents.

Only when we fight back and neutralize a bunch of these thugs and arsonists will any semblance of order be restored to America.

It’s coming to more cities and towns over the next 6 months. Time to stop moaning about things and be prepared to legally defend yourself, family, home, friends, neighbors and country.
