Legacy media likes to report that another “Attorney representing Donald Trump has quit the legal team,” but they never explain why.
The explanation is The 65 Project, which intimidates lawyers into not representing Trump or anyone associated with him. They have threatened to file bar charges against any such lawyers, including attorney Alan Dershowitz offered to defend pro bono any lawyers that the project went after, so the project went after Dershowitz.
The Department of Justice has charged Trump with 37 counts of mishandling classified government records. The two lawyers representing Trump resigned immediately from the case following his Fri., Jun. 9, 2023 indictment in Miami, FL.
Also under attack is Stanley Woodard, the lawyer for Waltine Nauta, Trump’s co-defendant, with not-so-veiled threats that his application for judgeship could be affected if he defends Nauta rather than having him cooperate against Trump. He’s charged because he moved the document boxes.
In 1770, for defending the British soldiers accused of the Boston Massacre, John Adams came under assault, but the representation of the accused men now serves as a symbol of the 6th Amendment right to counsel. That right is in danger by The 65 Project and others using the judicial system against those representing Trump and those associated with him.
Created by Democratic consultant and former Clinton administration official Melissa Moss, The 65 Project is part of Law Works, a Franklin Education Forum fiscal program, and has received grants from the Democracy Fund. The name refers to the number of lawsuits filed by supporters of President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Their hatred of Donald Trump is greater than their value of the U.S. Constitution.
