There’s no inconsistency here in these lawyers’ choice of clients. The common thread is that they believe all terrorists deserve adequate representation.
As opposed to the Antifa rioters who created unprecedented havoc, mayhem, and death, my innocent clients who were mere tourists and spectators deserve acquittal and maybe even a thank you from a grateful nation.
I don’t mean to sound naive, but isn’t this what lawyers do? Defend the accused, any accused, regardless of politics? Heck, murderers get to have lawyers, and most do. Where’s the outrage? Having a decent legal defense is a basic right under our system. Right?
Which required all of the attention of their autonomic nervous system. Ahh, who am I kidding. Both their hearts could have stopped beating and Senator Grassley would still ask “How was BLM involved?”
Think about it this way… Out of all the lawyers in America, these two show up, and with one of them defending the mom who needed a russkie translator at her hearing.
You need to understand, that there are only so many Trump supporting lawyers with any experience in existence. So they get reused, especially if their fees are being paid by a GOP backed group.
