After targeting Trump lawyers, including John Eastman who spoke at the David Horowitz Freedom Center several times, using disbarment and criminal prosecution against conservative lawyers, Democrats and their media are shocked and outraged at having it done to them.
Trump’s Latest Weapon Against Critics: Destroying Their Lawyers
When a president uses executive power to not just blacklist but effectively destroy a major law firm, solely for representing political opponents, it means he’s given up any pretense that he’s not an authoritarian hellbent on destroying anyone who opposes him through any means necessary. Donald Trump’s executive order targeting Perkins Coie isn’t just an attack on one firm — it’s a blueprint for how authoritarian leaders can grossly abuse government power to chill speech and discourage legal challenges to a vast campaign of abuses of their authority.
Why might Trump have an issue with Perkins Coie? Perkins Coie was at the center of Russiagate which was probably the worst abuse of authority at every level in a generation. But Trump didn’t touch Perkins Coie until the Democrats set new rules by going after his lawyers.
Destroying lawyers for representing political opponents is literally what the Democrats began doing in 2020. That means they have less leg to stand on than a crippled flamingo trying to catch a cab.
Perkins Coie is most miffed and is wrapping itself in the Constitution like it’s 40 below zero and the firm is only wearing a t-shirt.
In the lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in Washington, D.C., attorneys for Perkins Coie call the executive order “an affront to the Constitution and our adversarial system of justice.”
“Its plain purpose is to bully those who advocate points of view that the President perceives as adverse to the views of his Administration, whether those views are presented on behalf of paying or pro bono clients,” the lawsuit says.
What was the Perkins Coie position on raiding lawyers for political opponents, enlisting them to turn on their clients and disbarring lawyers for representing them?
Targeting lawyers is wrong… except when they do it.
Editorial: John Eastman tried to help Trump overturn the 2020 election. Of course he should be disbarred – Los Angeles Times Editorial Board
A State Bar Court judge on Wednesday ruled — appropriately and wisely — that in providing legal cover for Trump’s dishonest bid to subvert the 2020 election, Eastman violated his oath, undermined the quest for truth and justice, and inflicted serious and perhaps lasting damage on the very institutions of democracy and law that are the foundation of his profession.
Did the deceptions at the heart of Russiagate inflict “serious and perhaps lasting damage on the very institutions of democracy” and did it subvert an election?
Unquestionably. Goose meet gander.
Trial Lawyers are the Demo-Rats biggest Supporters The Vultures Sharks and the Donkey
I’m old enough to remember a time in this country when reasonable, honest people could be found on both sides of the political spectrum: democrat or republican. That time is no more.
I think that was mid 20th century and not since.
How else can it be done? Another thing I started to notice when reading history is the effect lawyers have had on political events.
Trump to lawfare lawyers: Kiss My Asterisk!
Apparently, Perkins Coie has “stateless” partners who live in China
I find it unnerving that a law firm that can’t be sued in federal court should have any access to classified information.
You have asked a perfect question – a great question. But perhaps jurisdiction can be established on other grounds? And, if this case goes to the USSC, your question should certainly be considered. How else to redress grievances?
An article about targeting lawyers and no mention of the infamous Project 65??
A significant oversight, I’m afraid
All in that group need to be targeted now. Thats is the only way to stop this
Pretty sure Daniel thinks his readers can connect the dots to Project 65,
but maybe he should have come out and said it for anyone unfamiliar with the topic
who might have somehow
despite all the shadow banning and censorship
found this post anyway.
I’ve posted MANY times that the DEMOcrats should be FORCED to change their name to the HYPOCRITE party! EVERYTHING they do is hypocritical! It’s ok for THEM to do something but if YOU do it then it’s the end of the WORLD!
I still can’t believe that Perkins/Coie hasn’t been RAIDED by the FBI/DOJ! There should be enough KNOWN evidence that they assisted in a COUP against PRESIDENT TRUMP! But, I’m sure every letter, email, phone log, BILLING Statement, notepad, and bank deposit receipt has been shredded, burned, and buried!
Every lawyer that touched the COUP should be charged and disbarred! Everyone of them should be sued into oblivion and every cent they own confiscated to repay PRESIDENT TRUMP and us American citizens for the DAMAGES they caused!
And just to top it off, I wouldn’t mind seeing a few of them doing a little rope dancing!
The elites can dish it out, but…
Back in the 70s, the ACLU defended literal Nazis (National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie)
Disbar the entire organization and prosecute?
Even Nazis must be provided a defense. If we make ANY exceptions, our constitution and our laws mean nothing. Equality under the law is foundational. As soon as you begin chipping away at that for ANY reason, we descend into banana republic territory.
I prefer never supporting the rights of Nazis. They should have to spend all their time and money doing it themselves. That leaves them less time and money to destroy our rights.
Providing Nazis with a defense (if they cannot afford their own) is NOT supporting Nazis, but your own civilization. And if you have a righteous civilization, with good prosecutors and defense attorneys doing their jobs well, the Nazi will receive justice.
“That means they have less leg to stand on than a crippled flamingo trying to catch a cab.” I laughed and laughed; great line!
Yep and they cannot stand being outed and their actions met with relevant consequences for it.
They are the bullies who scream, cry and throw tantrums when someone calls them out and kicks their butts.
Wa wa wa wa wa……Loretta, hang up the phone they are guilty!
Remember, disguising payments for oppo research as legal fees is against the law in New York state.
This law firm did exactly that for Clinton Campaign.
A cruise ship for lawyers sinks and 2,000 lawyers sink to the bottom of the ocean into Davy Jones Locker.
What do you call that?
A good start.
President Trump is shrewd and smart – You can’t out trump Trump!
President Trump doesn’t go after those behind the conspiracies and lawless LawFare, he goes after the lawyers who took the cases knowing it was complete perjury fraud and less than zero ethics of lawyers who would prepare and present such fraud to the courts – along with the presiding judges all in cahoots on these treasonous conspiracies!
Removing their security clearances and disbarring is not enough.
These lawyers must be prosecuted and for plea deals must give exact details of who was behind this LawFare!
Who have you left out?
“That means they have less leg to stand on than a crippled flamingo trying to catch a cab.” Ahahaha! I had to go back up to the byline to see if that was indeed Greenfield. My smiling cheeks still hurt.
Excellent post, and thank you for keeping informed.
The difference between a dead lawyer lying in the road and a dead snake lying in the road is the skid marks leading up to the dead snake.
Once again, what the Democrats have done for short-term gain has come back to bite them in the a**.
