First a basic question … “What’s the biggest mistake a lawyer can make?”
As background, most of you remember Kilmar Diego Garcia. From Coffee and Covid:
“Kilmar Diego Garcia has become the new face of the Democrat party, after the Trump Administration was accused of “accidentally” deporting the MS-13 member despite a frantic late-night judicial order trying to force his airplane to turn back around.”
But things have changed as pointed out by a recent headline from the New York Times:
“U.S. Returns Abrego Garcia From El Salvador to Face Criminal Charges.”
This development leads us back to the opening question …
“What’s the biggest mistake a lawyer can make?”
According to constitutional scholar professor Alan Dershowitz it’s … “Putting ideology ahead of what’s best got the client.”
According to professor Dershowitz that is exactly what the lawyers for Kilmar Diego Garcia have done. According to Dershowitz Garcia’s lawyers made “BIG MISTAKE” by pushing for his return to U.S.
From his interview on News Nation:
“If he’s found guilty, he’s gonna spend a long time in prison complaining about his ideological radical lawyers, who made a hero out of him and tried to get him back to the United States when that was not in his own self-interest.”
“If he’s acquitted, they can still bring the deportation charges because the standard of proof is very different in deportation charges … From the government’s point of view, it’s a win-win to do it this way.”
Will those showboating Democrats who recently traveled to El Salvador now recognize the error of their ways? … NEVER, as to them, ‘the hell with the client as it’s all about ideology!’
