As most of us know, several days ago, after receiving a referral from Robert Mueller, the FBI conducted a pre-dawn raid of the offices and residences of President Trump’s long-time lawyer, Michael Cohen. Many of us on the right look at these actions and scream “Unfair!” because after all, the FBI did not treat Hillary this way despite many wrongdoings. Meanwhile, leftist pundits are clapping their hands with glee over this move because they feel this action takes them one step closer to their ultimate objective — get rid of President Trump. Furthermore, many of these same pundits tell us we don’t need to worry about this attack on lawyer/client privilege.

After this happened, I, like many others, railed about the inequality of treatment in this country but there is an important issue other than injustice to which we must pay attention. In an article published by The Gatestone Institute, “Firewalls” and “Taint Teams” Do Not Protect Fourth and Sixth Amendment Rights, Alan Dershowitz wrote:

“An equally important harm is to important relationships that are protected by the law: between lawyer and client, priest and penitent, doctor and patient, husband and wife, etc. If an ordinary citizen, seeing that even the president’s confidential communications with his lawyer can be seized and perused, he or she will be far less willing to engage in such communications. As a society, we value such communications; that is why our laws protect them and that is why it should be extremely difficult for the government to intrude upon them, except as a last recourse in extremely important cases.

He ended this article with:

I challenge any reader who is not concerned about this raid to honestly answer the following question: If the raid had been conducted on Hillary Clinton’s lawyer’s office and home, would you be as unconcerned? The truth now!

It seems that every day we see assaults on our first amendment, the second amendment, and now the fourth and sixth amendment. What is happening to our country? Alan Dershowitz is a man we should all listen to as his voice seems to be one of few showing measured reason.
