Lawyers are ready to represent demonstrators who get arrested for protesting Donald Trump's inauguration ... TMZ has learned. The Partnership for Civil Justice, the National Lawyers Guild, D.C. Law Students in Court and other orgs have a game plan to hit the streets Friday, monitor police conduct, and provide free representation for many demonstrators who may get cuffed and taken to jail. An official from the Partnership for Civil Justice tells TMZ, they are worried police will cross the line and arrest protesters who are exercising their Constitutional right of free speech. We're told the laws in D.C. have changed recently because of police illegally taking demonstrators into custody. Now protesters cannot be arrested for demonstrating without a permit. Cops can't encircle groups of protesters merely to prevent an uprising, and cops can't go after an entire group because a handful of demonstrators violate the law. One of the lawyers organizing the group says she thinks the D.C. cops may show more restraint now that the laws have changed, but she's worried about the 5,000 National Guard troops and 3,000 cops from various jurisdictions that might overreact. We're told
Okay..title is misleading because of way TMZ does their titles. It is not Donald Trumps lawyers who are providing services.
A million leftists shocked in a dizzying, confused maelstrom.
Find out who’s funding them and charge with sedition. These rioters will cross a line.
Also last I heard police aren’t allowed to wear their body cams on Friday
Not news.
Lefty lawyers are always willing to go pro bono for miscreants who are willing to perform political thug duties.
Took me a minute to figure that out. Hope other FReepers will be understanding.
Where in God’s name did all of these radicals come from? Who is teaching people to think like this? Arrest the lawyers too. We need a total crackdown.
I was hoping the protesters were going to be jailed for free.
We can’t win them all.
I sent a note to admin to put in a colon or something

I noticed that. When I saw the title, I thought wow, that’s an ingenious twist of marketing lol! Trump himself will protect those who are protesting against him? How could they possibly continue to be on his bad side???
Then I went to the article.
I should have read a few more sentences. This would have been the masterstroke if it was an army of Trump lawyers. They should still register pro-bono by the hundreds in DC just to freak the protesters out.
Let me check my understanding:
throat punches, train immobilization, bridge blocking and acid into HVAC systems, yet POLICE OVERREACTION..?????
RIDICULOUS.
The fruits of Obama's reign.
0bama/Ayres/Soros/Clinton’s new civics
That is a BIG BIG difference! It reads like it’s saying that Trump’s own lawyer will represent protestors if they’re jailed, which would be a remarkably creative way to handle what’s coming. I must say, I am a little disappointed,but it’s an unworkable fantasy, since they wouldn’t accept Trump’s lawyers, now would they?
just a threat to leo
Until I see a tweet from DJT or his people, this is just paparazzi as far as I'm concerned.
You didn’t read the whole article OR my posts about the title.
She might want to be more worried about the 3,000 plus Rolling Thunder Bikers who are going to show up fully ready to dispense mahogany shampoos and knuckle sandwiches to any left wing miscreants that are bent on causing problems.
