Vandals attacked the home of one of former President Donald Trump's impeachment defense lawyers Friday, according to police.

Authorities said the vandalism happened around 8 p.m. Friday at the Philadelphia-area home of attorney Michael van der Veen, ABC News reported.

The Philadelphia Inquirer said that vandals smashed windows and spray-painted "TRAITOR" and an arrow pointing to the house in red on van der Veen's driveway after he spent hours earlier that day presenting Trump's impeachment trial defense on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Van der Veen's wife discovered the vandalism and reported it to the police.

"My home was attacked," van der Veen said Saturday on Fox News. "To answer your question, my entire family, my business, my law firm are under siege right now. I don't really want to go into that, though."

The Inquirer reported that demonstrators with the group Refuse Fascism gathered outside van der Veen's law office chanting, "When van der Veen lies, what do you do? Convict. Convict."

Fox News added that the van der Veens hired private security for their home in the wake of the attack.

Sore losers, again.

All began 20 years ago with the Gore losers.

They are really "bitter clingers" with their grudges.

Many years ago in gold rush days when the west was wild, without effective police, and criminals did what they wanted to assault, rob, and intimidate (kind of like Antifa Marxists today), the Masons created a militia force that protected the public. March 7-1877. Vigilance.

If someone had 3-7-77 painted on their house or tent it meant time to leave town or else. Montana State police and National Guard all use that number sequence in their official emblems.

Rules for Radicals in action: They violate the law, use criminal violence and intimidation against us and rig the “system” so that they get away with it, but we are required to play by the rules and will get prosecuted for resisting. Total Alinsky.
