Jane Raskin for the President

Whether you are for or against the POTUS, it's pretty impressive that Miami lawyer Jane Raskin is on the legal team representing him. She is the one lawyer on the President's team that has stayed below the radar, which is also impressive.  She's doing much better than Starr, who made the absurd argument that this is the age of impeachment.  That may be, but Starr gets all the credit for that.  How did they let him of all people make that argument?

To present an argument on behalf of the President, before the United States Senate, with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding. What a rare and amazing moment in a lawyer's career.

Whatever your view of this president, or these proceedings, if you are a lawyer -- and if you are honest with yourself -- that has got make you catch your breath.

Jane and Marty Raskin are among the best our legal community has to offer. I will be forever grateful that my first job in the law was with them.

Vastly overrated.Not even among Miami's top 25.

I've represented many guilty people in my life. None, however, were guaranteed an acquittal before the trial even started. So, you're right, this is rare and amazing.

Jane Raskin is the smartest person in the room, no matter who is in the room with her.

Let me see, you are shocked that a smart, competent woman attorney is not getting the recognition that her buffoon white male colleagues get?
Where have you been practicing?

AV Preeminent is a significant rating accomplishment - a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence. ... Only lawyers with the highest ethical standards and professional ability receive a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating of “AV.”

Just one of many outstanding reviews from both clients and peers.

Please do your due diligence before spewing your ignorance!

Did the same person who said Jane was not even top 25 list her as top 25? I'm confused.

Unless he meant some other "Jane"

I wonder if she will be defending the right of the American people "to know whether their President is a crook." Which for some might be like having a right to know how to do calculus.
