Suggests comments about ethical failures are \u2018dangerous rhetoric\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Connecticut Bar Association is warning lawyers against criticizing the politicized prosecutions of President Donald Trump because that could become \u201cdangerous rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n

The association recently dispatched to members a message signed by Maggie Castinado, its president, James T. Shearin, president-elect, and Emily Gianquinto, vice president.<\/p>\n

They warn against \u201creckless words\u201d that attack the integrity of the nation\u2019s judicial system.<\/p>\n

They charged, \u201cIn the wake of the recent trial and conviction of former President Donald Trump, public officials have issued statements claiming that the trial was a \u2018sham,\u2019 a \u2018hoax,\u2019 and \u2018rigged\u2019; our justice system is \u2018corrupt and rigged\u2019; the judge was \u2018corrupt\u201d and highly unethical\u2019; and, that the jury was \u2018partisan\u2019 and \u2018precooked.’\u201d<\/p>\n

There also have been comparisons to communist \u201cshow\u201d trials, in which the defendant is guilty and the court hearings are simply to create the appearance of a judicial proceeding.<\/p>\n

The bar missive claims, without documenting whether those charges are, in fact, true, those statements are \u201cunsubstantiated and reckless.\u201d<\/p>\n

And they can \u201cprovoke acts of violence against\u201d members of the judiciary. Further, they \u2018sow distrust in the public for the courts \u2026 .\u201d<\/p>\n

Those comments, the association claims, \u201ccross the line from criticism to dangerous rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n

The attempt to suppress speech with doesn\u2019t align with the politics of the association comes as a number of Democrat prosecutors continue their courtroom assaults on Trump.<\/p>\n

Already, Arthur Engoron, a judge in New York, has demanded a punishment of nearly half a billion dollars for the way Trump negotiated loans for his corporation, practices that industry insiders described as routine. In fact, no one lost money or complained and the bankers involved wanted to do more business with Trump. And Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg took claims of business reporting misdemeanors that already had passed the statute of limitations and claimed they were felonies because they led to a further, unspecified, crime. A jury in the leftist enclave of New York convicted Trump in a decision that now is on appeal.<\/p>\n

Several other cases, such as a prosecutor allegedly being appointed improperly and another with ethical clouds because the DA had hired her paramour, with tax money, to work her allegations against Trump, have significant obstacles looming.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Now Jonathan Turley, the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at Geroge Washington University,<\/a> an expert witness on the law before Congress and popular commentator, said the message from the association is \u201cchilling\u201d for those lawyers who see the lawfare against Trump as \u201craw political prosecution.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that the officials are demanding \u201cmembers to speak publicly in support of the integrity of these legal proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted the reality is something else.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, criticizing Judge Juan Merchan (who heard the business records case) for refusing to recuse from the case is considered beyond the pale.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, he noted, \u201cMany lawyers believe that his political (financial) contributions to Biden and his daughter\u2019s major role as a Democratic fundraiser and activist should have prompted Merchan to remove himself (and any appearance of a conflict).\u201d<\/p>\n

His own opinion is that Merchan\u2019s rulings were biased.<\/p>\n

He said it\u2019s likely that verdict will be overturned, and he blames not the jury \u201cbut rather the judge and the prosecutors for an unfounded and unfair trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

He identified the problem with the bar demands is the \u201csuggestion that lawyers are acting somehow unprofessionally in denouncing what many view as a two-tier system of justice and the politicalization of our legal system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evidence?<\/p>\n

\u201cNotably, the bar officials did not write to denounce attacks on figures like Bill Barr or claims that the Justice Department was rigging justice during the Trump years.\u201d Further, those officials never published warnings about attacks on conservative justices and labeling them \u201cinsurrectionist sympathizers.\u201d<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t worry the bar when Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., threatened judges with \u201cseismic changes\u201d or Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., called the Supreme Court \u201ccorrupt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLikewise, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also declared in front of the Supreme Court \u2018I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,’\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

He noted the letter actually \u201conly reinforced the view of a legal system that is maintaining a political orthodoxy and agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n
