Donald Trump And Witch Hunts

In the wake of FBI searches of his lawyer's office, home, and hotel room, Donald Trump has lost his cool, yet again, and declared that authorities are on a "witch hunt", and that "attorney/client" privilege is "dead". He is so wrong.

Bob Mueller discovered some evidence connected to Michael Cohen, the attorney in question, that possibly connected him to crime in New York, and therefore turned the information over to prosecutors in the Southern District of New York. In turn, those prosecutors requested and were granted search warrants for Cohen's properties. That is not a "witch hunt". That is an orchestrated search warrant. Also, attorney/client privilege has never been extended to attorneys and clients who commit crimes together. Officers of the court are expected to remain above suspicion and refrain from corruption. The people of New York do not owe Trump or his attorney a free pass to crime and corruption.

On national television, Donald Trump declared that an FBI search of a property connected to a suspect is not only a "witch hunt", but "an attack on our country in a true sense".....whatever that means.....and "an attack on what we all stand for." Wow. So we now have a leader who thinks that we all stand for crime, and for the ability to get away with crime. Where does this leave all the recent police shootings of innocent unarmed black men? Trump does not have a problem with that. It seems that in Trump's world, the police are only here to promote what he "stands for"; racism and crime. In reality, there are a few of us left in this nation who do not stand for crime. If those agents serving the search warrants for the FBI were truly seeking a Witch, they certainly would have found one by now.
