Trump’s Philly lawyers won the impeachment trial. But they’re facing a backlash at home

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 left members calling someone who supports the Constitution a traitor is like antifa members calling conservatives fascists.

The right is playing within a “non-war” playbook.

The left is playing by a “total-war-to-the-death” playbook, to subjugate, pervert, and enslave all of society.

If the script were flipped, as ballot fraud is also a federal offense, you better believe the left would act to immediately take control of absolutely every possible detail related to the election in question.

Especially when there are federal socialist offices on the ballot, and at stake.

It would have been full on DOJ/FBI intervention and determinate.

The GOP? They are sitting in a committee meeting trying to figure out how to next grovel to the democrooks.

But as usual they will find a way.

“ this is also the result of social media.”

None of it would have happened without their complete compliance. I wouldn’t doubt if they wrote algorithms to facilitate the lefty hate and violence.

So why isn’t the FBI going after these violent democrat thugs who are terrorizing an innocent family? I’ll tell you why.The FBI is nothing more than a gang of gun totting dirty cops whose sole purpose is to help and assist corrupt democrats like the influence peddling scumbags Joe and Hunter Biden and the Clintons.The FBI actually helped Hillary Clinton destroy evidence of her criminal activity. The FBI is great at sending gangs of machine gun totting thugs to arrest Republican desperados like Roger Stone.It’s time to disband this cabal of dirty cops and bring them before the bar of justice.

What is the right to legal representation?

A criminal defendant's right to an attorney is found in the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which requires the "assistance of counsel" for the accused "in all criminal prosecutions."

This means that a defendant has a constitutional right to be represented by an attorney during trial

No Constitution, no peace.

Too bad that Trump did not secure the election against vote fraud before it came to all of this.

They were going to do what it took.

And they did, right in everyone's faces.

This is why they flipped out when he wouldn't concede to their rigging.

They are personal injury lawyers. Put up security cameras, hire private eyes, then sue the heck out of the ones doing the damage.

Nice neighborhood, has to be a ton of Ring video to be had.

They didn't walk into the neighborhood.

Find the plate, find the Antifa that did it, and flip them.

Why no one has bothered to create a searchable database of all these arrests from last summer...all of the adult arrests are simple public record...relationships would become immediately apparent.

Liberals are nuts. And there’s nothing more dangerous than a angry, mad liberal.
