ABC ^

A federal judge has ruled that a lawyer for former President Donald Trump must provide additional testimony before a federal grand jury investigating Trump's handling of classified documents, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Special counsel Jack Smith's prosecutors asked Judge Beryl Howell last month to pierce attorney-client privilege and compel Trump attorney Evan Corcoran to appear before a grand jury, sources previously told ABC News.

Apparently “Landmark Ruling” now means “Ignoring all Constitutional protections” in the eyes of ABC.

They do this to serve their Democrat masters.

But now that they knowingly betray the law, their Democrat masters will blackmail them to ignore even bigger laws.

Lawyers.

Straight outta medieval England.

Whatever you said to your lawyer is now owned by the Prosecution.

Smith and Howell rewrite the rules.

To: Regulator

To wit:

“The attorney-client privilege is the oldest privilege recognized by Anglo-American jurisprudence. In fact, the principles of the testimonial privilege may be traced all the way back to the Roman Republic, and its use was firmly established in English law as early as the reign of Elizabeth I in the 16th century. Grounded in the concept of honor, the privilege worked to bar any testimony by the attorney against the client”

Which is exactly what is happening here.

It’s a historic rebellion against the Law of the United States.

There has to be a way to remove judges who make asinine rulings. If a judge’s rulings get overturned more than once, they should be disqualified from being on the bench.

Attorney-Client Privilege doesn’t exist for Trump, apparently.

Dear Judge Rebel:

In March 2023 you rebelled against the Constitution.

Please repay all governmental salary and health benefits received since your act of rebellion as required by Amendment XIV, Section 3.
