On Saturday, PJ Media posted an article about what the political left has been doing to lawyers who work for President Trump and the solution to their intimidation tactics.
The article reports:
You’d think that there might be an ethical issue running ads that threaten the careers of any lawyers if they work for Donald Trump, but this is the state of play in 2024 in the Democrats’ Lavrentiy Beria political police state. Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime. Rules of propriety are for you, not for us.
Those ads, which you can see here, are running in swing states online and in legal journals in this election—in effect promising the personal destruction of anyone who touches the Trump campaign.
This is a screenshot of one of the ads:
The article notes:
America First Legal has given the director of The 65 Project, Michael Teter, a taste of his own medicine and filed a bar complaint against him in the state of Utah, where he’s licensed. America First is filing the complaint on behalf of Stefan Passantino, who represented Cassidy Hutchison after Jan. 6.
Teter’s name may be familiar to you. He pulled this “sure would be a shame” stunt in 2020. He’s the Media Matters and David Brock-blessed lawyer behind the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News, and he was Ray Epps’s attorney, the curious Jan. 6 “Fed! Fed! Fed!” who whispered into the ear of an alleged pro-Trump actor standing outside the Capitol Building barricades, and seconds later, the assault on the barricades began. Teter filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox on Epps’s behalf.
The article concludes:
America First Legal said of its bar complaint against Teter that his objective of “seeking the personal destruction and financial ruin of another lawyer – simply because of the client he represented or the cause he took up – runs counter to… the letter and spirit of the law governing the activities of lawyers,” according to Reuters.
That’s exactly what it sounds like. And that’s why it should be stopped. Maybe getting a taste of their own medicine will do just that.
Lawyers who have chosen to ignore integrity in their practice of the law have done a lot of serious damage to this country.
