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

Reality says he should have known better and security should have been setup well ahead of the BS trial.

It’s the expect the worst and hope for the best.

This kind of misbehavior can be minimized in the future.

In fact, it can be stopped entirely.

Police do not care. The FBI does not care. The courts do not care.

Unless TPTB want the country to split apart, they had better start caring about the rule of law very soon.

Trump had no power over choices states made. His DHS Director worked with states via the EAC but they couldn’t unilaterally order states to take actions to secure their elections.

Because of Trump’s actions, we clearly know who to hold accountable and in ain’t Trump.
