or something to that effect? Evidently the family has opened their home for search without a warrant... guilty people don't do that.

Do you have information about this lawyer? Do you know the lawyer is a sleazebag because of his/her client? Are all lawyers sleazebags?

that MB's mother was active in Democratic politics, I had his number. Maybe it'll take you a little longer to figure out, bless your heart.

what the lawyer was saying was the MAGABomber is mentally ill - or at least very low functioning. The reference to the mother was essentially the family's plea that he wasn't raised this way.

There are a lot of lawyers on DU. A lot of DU heroes are lawyers - think Obama and Hillary and Bill Clinton.

Even the MAGABomber is due legal representation. Lawyer bashing isn't helpful.

By the way, I'm a southerner. I know what is meant by "bless your heart."

Did the lawyer during that interview mention that the MAGABomber is a registered Republican? His mother being an "active Democrat" was tossed out to cast doubt and get wingnuts further whipped into a false flag and "both sides do it" frenzy. They don't sweat the details.

You've jumped to the conclusion that I consider all lawyers "sleazebag lawyers." Why would you do that? And who is arguing that the MAGABomber shouldn't have the right to legal representation? No one, but thanks for the lecture. Timothy McVeigh, Dylann Roof, Edgar Madison Welch, James Alex Fields, etc. -- despicable right-wing *human* beings rightfully due legal representation.

And if I were ever in trouble, I'd likely retain a sleazebag lawyer myself -- one who really knows how to fight dirty and win.
