      Probably quite a few “non-democrat” lawyers that didn’t storm congress. Weird how she chose one who did and that wasn’t a dealbreaker for her. 🤔

        Are you saying no lawyer should represent a defendant? If those lawyers didn’t represent the defendants, who would? The Constitution mandates that defendants have competent legal representation.

                Oh. This thread has s lot of comments, it’s hard to keep up. I wonder why no one’s filed a bar complaint? Thanks for the correction. That’s food for thought.
