Is the Left Using Intimidation to Deny Trump a Fair Trial?

August 19, 2022 By Richard C. Young

Why won’t any lawyers work for Donald Trump? They appear intimidated by fear of ostracism. In the American Thinker, Andrea Widburg explains the bravery of John Adams, who faced similar fears of ostracism for defending the British soldiers responsible for the Boston Massacre, but did it anyway knowing that the rule of law must be upheld. She writes:

Leftists seem pleased that no lawyers will represent Trump. This is a terrible thing that, as much as anything else, represents the downfall of America under the left’s aegis. The aggressive leftist purge of conservative or just brave attorneys is destroying one of America’s greatest institutions: Every person’s right to have an attorney at his side.

In 1770, Redcoats fired on a crowd that had surrounded them, taunting them and pelting them with dangerous projectiles. Five colonists died. The British soldiers claimed self-defense, but the patriots in Boston called it murder. We remember it as the Boston Massacre.

What too few Americans know is that the soldiers, despite a trial in hostile territory, got a stellar defense. Their attorney was John Adams. He knew that representing the soldiers was a risk that could destroy his law practice and impoverish his family, but he also understood something very important about the law in a free country: No one should have to stand alone against the awesome majesty of the state, which has the power of the police, the prosecution, the judge, and the executioner.

The WaPo wrote about Trump’s troubles:

Former president Donald Trump and close aides have spent the eight days since the FBI searched his Florida home rushing to assemble a team of respected defense lawyers. But the answer they keep hearing is “no.”
