Just when you thought our corrupt and weaponized justice system couldn't sink any lower, the Connecticut Bar Association steps up and gives the regime a home run. They are subtly issuing a “warning” to lawyers against criticizing Trump's bogus judges and prosecutors. While they haven't threatened Bar action against the critics (yet), it's clear that this move is a blatant attempt to nibble and control the narrative, which has spiraled out of control and backfired spectacularly against the regime Desperate times call for desperate measures, right? And seeing this latest move, you have to wonder if the folks at the Connecticut Bar think “1984” was an instruction manual.

These days, we witness horrific examples of regime law everywhere. From President Trump's mock trials to J6 political prisoners Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman and Douglass Mackey, who was convicted of a crime just for sharing an anti-Hillary meme, plus what's happening to Alex Jones it's something straight out of a banana republic. .
The fate of Infowars hangs in the balance, thanks to that unjust verdict of Sandy Hook against Alex Jones. Now, Infowars is at the mercy of an American courtroom that feels more like a banana republic, enemy territory for anyone who doesn't keep up with the regime. And no one knows this better than Alex Jones. Remember when they first came for Alex, knocking him off the platforms and trying to eliminate his livelihood by dethroning him and wiping him from every corner of the internet? was
Is it a test? It seems, because that's exactly what they started doing with President Trump and other conservatives. Now just look at Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. Speak out against the regime and you will pay. This warning shot started with Alex Jones.
It wasn't until recently that she regained her voice on social media, and it's all thanks to X, formerly known as Twitter. Vivek was one of the loudest voices urging Elon Musk to bring Alex Jones back. It eventually paid off and Elon reinstated Infowars on the platform, a platform it should never have been removed from.

But that's where the good news ends. Unfortunately, with the unjust Sandy Hook decision, it looks like the American banana republic is trying to wipe Infowars off the map once again. Alex recently issued a dire warning: his popular show might be over for good.

One lawyer who is completely outraged by this so-called Connecticut “warning” and who is a legal professional who has been very critical of Trump's judges and prosecutors and the politicized cases against him is law professor Jonathan Turley. In fact, he's so outraged by the move that he put “pen to paper” and sent a warning of his own, this time to the American people, about the effort to once again silence political dissent under the guise of flippant . of “saving democracy”.
This week, I received emails from members of the Connecticut Bar through a message posted by President Maggie Castinado, President-Elect James T. (Tim) Shearin, and Vice President Emily A. Gianquinto warning them about the criticism of prosecutions of former President Donald Trump. The lawyer's leadership's message is chilling to those lawyers who see cases like the Manhattan one as crude political prosecution. While the letter does not directly state that such criticism will be considered unethical conduct, it states that criticism “has no place in public discourse” and calls on members to speak publicly in support of the integrity of these legal proceedings.
The statement begins by warning members that “words matter,” but then leaves the ramifications for members of the bar to wonder how they might care. They simply point out that some comments will be seen as “crusading[ing] the line of criticism of dangerous rhetoric.”
According to the Connecticut Bar, it is now considered unwise and unprofessional to draw analogies to show judgments or question the integrity of the legal system or the judges in such cases.
For example, criticizing Judge Juan Merchan for refusing to recuse himself from the case is considered beyond the pale. Many lawyers believe that his political contributions to Biden and his daughter's leading role as a Democratic fundraiser and activist should have caused Merchan to be removed (and any appearance of conflict). I have been more critical of their decisions, which I believe were biased and wrong.
However, the Bar warns lawyers that such comments may cross the line. The letter assures members they are free to criticize, but warns that attacking a judge's ethics or motivations in such cases is dangerous and could lead to violence.
As usual, the current uproar has nothing to do with “fairness” or “justice”. It's about keeping alive the narrative that President Trump is a dirty criminal unfit for office, and that's hard to do when very credible people are denoting the law that passes in America's courtrooms. Turley goes on:
For lawyers who view these lawsuits as political, they are speaking out in defense of what they believe is the essence of blind justice in America. What is “reckless” to the Connecticut Bar is fair to others. Notably, Attorney General officials did not write to denounce attacks on figures such as Bill Barr or claim that the Justice Department was manipulating justice during the Trump years.
Likewise, the letter focuses on criticism of Trump's prosecutions and not on the continued attacks on conservative jurists like Judge Samuel Alito. He has never issued warnings about those who call conservative judges blasphemous, who attack his religion or call them “partisan pirates” or even other “insurrectionary sympathizers.” Liberal activists have called for the conservative lawyers to be stopped “by any means necessary”.
In Connecticut, Sen. Richard Blumenthal has warned conservative justices to rule properly or face “seismic shifts.” That didn't seem to bother the bar. Similarly, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also stated before the Supreme Court: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you've unleashed the maelstrom and you're going to pay the price.”
But it gets worse. The letter actively encourages legal experts to support these mock trials, essentially turning lawyers into free PR agents for the weaponization of the justice system and the regime's law. Turley keep on:
The letter goes further, suggesting that lawyers should speak out publicly in support of trials like the one in Manhattan, a view that ignores deep misgivings about the motivations and means used in New York to target an unpopular figure in that city. . You have senior Bar officials asking attorneys to take a public stand that many attorneys and citizens oppose in order to defend the integrity of these prosecutions. Imagine the response if the Idaho Bar asked its lawyers to speak out against these cases and declare it reckless or unprofessional to defend them.
I hope that, in the very liberal Connecticut Bar, the letter is hardly necessary. In fact, this card is likely to be quite popular. However, I would have thought that the officials of the Bar would have been more careful to respect the divergent opinions about these judgments and the need to avoid statements that could curb the exercise of freedom of expression.
Ironically, the letter only reinforced the vision of a legal system that maintains an orthodoxy and a political agenda. These officials say it is now unprofessional or reckless for lawyers to draw historical comparisons to show judgement, or to question the motives or ethics behind such cases. They warn lawyers not to “sow distrust in the public towards the courts where it does not belong”. However, many believe that there is an alarming threat to our legal system and that mistrust is justified in light of a prosecution like the one in Manhattan.
In the end, these political derelicts struggled to keep the anti-Trump narrative afloat, but that ship has sunk to the bottom of the sea. Now, they are fighting to restore faith in the (armed) justice system itself. The courts have become the latest institution to be hollowed out and exposed as corrupt by the Trump phenomenon. It's a horrible setback for the villains and, unfortunately, for the nation as well, but here's a bright side: hidden truths are being dragged into the light once again, and more Americans are waking up.
