Could President Trump be the sanctioning of the law firm, which Jack Smith has due to, and helped the public prosecutor to avoid the criminal charges?

President Trump's executive order sanctioned the law firm Pro bono Basically, a head could soon condemn a head into one of the basic rock protection of the constitution of the proper procedure – that the accused has the right to support a lawyer for his defense.

The Attorney General Bondi, who spoke to Sean Hannity of Fox News this week, claimed: “First and foremost, we got rid of the Jack Smith team. Gone. “She added that” all options are on the table “for further cleansing. Ms. Bondi formalized this commitment by convening a” weapon working group “, considering Mr. Smith's law enforcement of Mr. Trump.

However, Mr. Trump signed an executive order last week who revoked “all active security checks by Peter Koski and all members, partners and employees of Covington & Burling LLP who supported the former special consultant Jack Smith”. After Mr. Smith announced, this dictation came that Covington had made legal services available to him in the amount of $ 140,000. Mr. Koski is his personal lawyer.

Covington, an elite law firm with democratic rain makers, admits in a statement: “We recently agreed to represent Jack Smith when he apparently became the subject of a state investigation. Covington serves in his personal, individual capacity as a defender of Jack Smith. “Mr. Trump also ordered that all government contracts with Covington are canceled, although a search for the sun has not disclosed such agreements. The President calls the executive regulation the “disturbed signing of Jack Smith or Bill”.

Could it be unconstitutional? The president, in which the entire executive power is classified, has the authority to revoke security checks. However, the sixth change sometimes states that “the defendant enjoy the right to … legal advisor for his defense”. The Supreme Court held in Gideon v. Wainwright That the right to advice is “fundamental and essential”.

However, Mr. Smith does not yet have this right because the High Court has noticed that it is only taught “the initiation of legal criminal proceedings” – or if a possible defendant listed the parchment, the “accused”. While Mr. Smith criticized the topic of both Mr. Trump and Ms. Bondi, no crime was charged.

The earlier binding of a lawyer by the special lawyer by the special consultant – and one with experience in the Ministry of Justice to boot – indicates that the possibility of the indictment is at least taken into account. President Biden avoided a preventive forgiveness before his office. Anthony Fauci and the MEP Liz Cheney accepted such founding charter.

It is not clear which crime Mr. Smith faces, but the possibility of the indictment was raised by those in Mr. Trump's Camarilla. A consultant of the President, Mike Davis, proposed before the 47th president's inauguration that “Jack Smith and his office must be exposed to difficult, political and financial consequences for their obvious legal and election mixture”.

Mr. Davis suggested that such a consequence could be the “conspiracy against rights”, the same crime with which Mr. Smith Mr. Trump relates to some Lawyer, but the right to a lawyer of his choice.

That is the decision of the Supreme Court in the decision of the Supreme Court in United States against Gonzalez-Lopez. In a 5-to-4 judgment written by Justice Antonin Scalia, the court decided that the rejection of a paid lawyer of the election is a “structural error” for a criminal defendant and requires the automatic reversal of a conviction. Scalia wrote that “it is impossible to know what different decisions the rejected lawyer would have made” in an “alternative universe”.

Mr. Trump's order to mock Mr. Koski access to sensitive documents could affect his ability to represent Mr. Smith, both of which were classified. Carding Scalia, the courts were able to assume that such a punishment affects the right of the former consultant to advice. If the executive regulation ensures that other lawyers hesitate to take on Mr. Smith as a client, the right to constitutional injuries could increase.

With the sun, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers shares an explanation that criticizes Mr. Trump's actions against Covington, which “provides a pro-bono legal consultant from many as a direct reaction to the decision of the law firm. While we recognize the complexity of such situations, we are of the opinion that it is important to maintain the principle of an independent legal profession and the right to advice. “
