Bloodthirsty...

 

Michael van der Veen, a lawyer who represented former President Trump in his second impeachment trial, ranted against the media in a CBS News interview after Trump was acquitted.

Van der Veen  accused prosecutors of doctoring evidence in the impeachment over the January 6 Capitol riot. "Because they hadn't done any investigation, they doctored evidence. It's absolutely shocking," he said.

Interviewer Lana Zak tried to clarify Van der Veen's comments, asking if he was referring to "selective editing" of footage from the riot and a tweet Trump's team claimed was shown during the trial that was allegedly labeled with the wrong year.  "Is that the doctored evidence of which you're speaking?" Zak asked. 

But Van der Veen then began ranting about the media more generally. "The media is trying to divide this country," he said. "You are bloodthirsty for ratings," he continued, calling the questions a "set up" with "slanted coverage." He removed his microphone and walked off camera.

Compare the Media treatment of Van der with the treatment Avenati, Stormy Daniel's lawyer got... Fair and sub-balanced. Just a thought.
