John, Trump’s retribution campaign is now targeting prominent Democratic lawyers:
Trump is shredding the First Amendment under the guise of “national security”
|
Under the pretense of "national security," Trump is undermining the First Amendment.
Why? These individuals played key roles in prosecuting Trump for his involvement in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and his mishandling of classified documents.
As one constitutional scholar put it, “this is the way dictatorships get going” and “people get afraid to say their piece — if they are lawyers, to represent a client who might be in the crosshairs of those in power.”
Donald Trump and his allies are sending a dangerous message that discrimination and injustice will be tolerated, if not encouraged.
This is just another example of how the administration is targeting those who upheld the rule of law – and why need to be ready for the legal fights ahead.
