Keep punching!

“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers” —Dick The Butcher, Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2

Guys, Axios has a stunning bit up this morning (emphasis mine):

A dark money group with ties to Democratic Party heavyweights will spend millions this year to expose and try to disbar more than 100 lawyers who worked on Donald Trump’s post-election lawsuits, people involved with the effort tell Axios.

Why it matters: The 65 Project plans to begin filing complaints this week and will air ads in battleground states. It hopes to deter right-wing legal talent from signing on to any future GOP efforts to overturn elections — including the midterms or 2024.

The group has three categories of targets, according to plans reviewed by Axios.

Trump’s legal inner circle, including lawyers such as campaign hands Jenna Ellis and Boris Epshteyn and post-election lawyers like Sidney Powell and Joe DiGenova.

Lawyers who signed on as “alternate electors,” who planned to submit their names to the Electoral College in lieu of legitimate elector slates if Trump-aligned legal challenges succeeded.

Licensed attorneys who participated in or were present at the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

And it seems to have hit its intended target, as the laddie doth protest too much, methinks: “This move is nothing more than a desperate attempt by leftist hacks and mercenaries…” Paul Davis, a Texas attorney targeted for his presence at the Capitol on January 6, wrote in an email to Axios.

Sounds like the Dems finally found their vestigial spines and have brought a knife to a knife fight, rather than a cunning 110+ Powerpoint stack.

1. K&R !

[treestar]

2. Tough to understand how people who file such frivolous lawsuits

are getting away with it. Starting with Orly and on down through those described above.

Lawyers have duties as officers of the court. Those lawsuits were so clearly without basis.

[Dustlawyer]

16. This lawyer agrees 100%! By signing a pleading the attorney is representing as an

Officer of the Court that the pleading is in good faith. They have to have had at least some evidence for their claims in order to file.

[Wednesdays]

27. Orly?

[treestar]

43. LOL

[SheltieLover]

3. K&R!

4. Pukes love their dark money. We can play that game too.

[Wicked Blue]

5. Great post, babylonsister!

[gab13by13]

6. They need to go after lawyers who work for the Federalist Society.

[uponit7771]

7. Need a tank of truth to a knife fight, we don't want to fight fair with these Putrid lovin fuckers

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. No shit. I'm so sick of constantly losing because of that.

[gopiscrap]

17. exactly

[Escurumbele]

8. I hope Alvin Bragg is in that list to be investigated

Very strange how he killed the trump investigation.

[babylonsister]

11. Yes, he seems pretty useless at this point. nt

[Celerity]

37. [phone]. Something is really off there.

[flying_wahini]

10. Ken Paxton AG Tx was there. Take his. He doesn't use it anyway.......

[Paladin]

12. About freaking time we got tough with the opposition. (nt)

[Hugin]

13. Sadly it's an axe fight.

However, progress.

[spanone]

14. ...K&R...

Not the op.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

40. The "kill all the lawyers" was, but the OP decided to highlight it.

The "protest too much" is all the OP from what I can see.

[NJCher]

41. no, that is also from the story

Here's the paragraph that I copied and pasted from the link provided by the OP:

And it seems to have hit its intended target, as the laddie doth protest too much, methinks: “This move is nothing more than a desperate attempt by leftist hacks and mercenaries…” Paul Davis, a Texas attorney targeted for his presence at the Capitol on January 6, wrote in an email to Axios.

What is your complaint about the quotes? Why do you think they were wrongly quoted?

[Cuthbert Allgood]

42. Fair enough. The formatting seemed different (didn't read all the article).

The "kill all the lawyers," in context, is not about how lawyers are evil but that they are the protection from bad people wanting to take over.

The "protest" in Hamlet is about her protestations of loving her husband not being sincere and not that when is "protesting" against something that she is deflecting from.

[oldsoftie]

18. Isn't it "bring a gun to a knife fight"? nt

[OMGWTF]

20. Yes, but Dems have been bringing banana bread to a knife fight my entire fking life.

And I'm old.

[lees1975]

25. More like chocolate pudding

so it's about time. I love it. A "dark money group." Where do I sign up to contribute?

[dalton99a]

19. Kick

[dflprincess]

21. Better if we bring a gun to a knife fight. Nt

[BComplex]

22. "A dark money group with ties to Democratic Party heavyweights"

I've got some un-dark money I'd love to add to their pile!

I'll send them every penny I can if they'll keep this up!!!

[Grins]

23. "...leftist hacks and mercenaries..."?

Said the guy who flew to Washington and participated in an attempted Coup d’Etat? “Mercenaries…” Paul?

[TeamProg]

24. Awesome! Repuke SCOTUS made Dark Money LEGAL !! n/t

[Hekate]

26. Excellent. Repubs made the dark money laws in the first place. Would be nice using it...

…to take them down.

Here’s a thought: as many Senators and Representatives started out as lawyers and cherish their membership in the Bar — wouldn’t this make the ones who participated in the insurrection vulnerable to this effort? I very much hope they are included in this plan.

[Hamlette]

28. I want them to go after state AGs who signed on with Texas' suit to disqualify Michigan votes

several state Attorneys General (including my state's AG) signed a friend of the court brief in support of Paxton's BS lawsuit.

[Captain Zero]

38. GQP still has state AGs carrying water for them

On so many things.
It seems to be a strategy. But often just frivolous shit, that's well funded. Some of these AGs are walking around with full pockets they didn't make from a state paycheck.

[not fooled]

29. OK, this is great, but

Where TF are the bar associations and State AGs? Shouldn't they have investigated and taken action against these fraudsters for abusing the legal system?

[calimary]

30. DO IT, Dammit!!!

About time!

Kick ‘em in the teeth - AND their wallets.

Make it HURT. The price you pay for standing with the villains.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

31. I saw this when I wanted to see what David Brock was up to these days.

He knows about weapons and fights.

32. This could also lead to criminal charges if its found that they committed perjury with some of the

documents these lawyers had to file with the court when they tried their bullshit.

[Goonch]

33. Sidney MAGA😬

[orangecrush]

34. Bout time.

[liberalla]

35. I hope we get regular news on this. I expect it to be quite entertaining.

[New Haven]

39. as long as they adhere to the Rules set forth by the Sundance Kid
