Trump targets the left’s lawfare
Washington Times ^ | 16 Mar, 2025 | Robert Knight

Posted on 03/17/2025 5:37:30 AM PDT by MtnClimber

President Trump issued an executive order March 6 suspending any government work by the law firm of Perkins Coie and its contractors.

He barred the firm’s employees from entering federal buildings, revoked its security clearances and ordered an investigation into the firm’s discrimination policies. Ouch.

To no one’s surprise, a handy federal judge offered a lifeline last week to the law firm that cooked up part of the Russian collusion hoax for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016.

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, an appointee of President Obama, issued a temporary restraining order after the firm argued in federal court in the District of Columbia that it had lost clients because of Mr. Trump’s action.

The judge didn’t reverse the security clearance ban or the portion against its diversity, equity and inclusion policy, but suspending the firm’s government work was enough to spark mega hand-wringing in Washington, which is undergoing scrutiny from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

Mr. Trump’s executive order stated in part: “The dishonest and dangerous activity of the law firm Perkins Coie LLP (‘Perkins Coie’) has affected this country for decades. Notably, in 2016, while representing failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS, which then manufactured a false ‘dossier’ designed to steal an election.”

Trump should start pushing for the radical leftist judged to be impeached.

“issued a temporary restraining order after the firm argued in federal court in the District of Columbia “

How did the firm argue in federal court if it was still banned from federal buildings prior to the TRO?

the treasonous “JUDGE” should be impeached,
and not allowed to enter any federal building.

Ouch. That might be exhibit A in the Judge Howell impeachment.

Clarice had a really good piece on the 677 presidents yesterday.

I don’t blame Trump exacting retribution from those scumbags. I expected it, and support it completely.

The DemonRATS’ LAWFARE only seems to be getting worse now that the RATS have weaponized every damn Feral “judge” against the RATS’ political opponents. This country needs a cutback on the number of these maggots the country has. Obviously, they don’t have enough to justify their jobs so they think they have to meddle in America’s elections. It’s time to reform, cut down and defund the so-called “justice” department. It’s totally out of control when it has to go after innocent Americans protesting a stolen election but allow Muzzie Terrorists run loose in the country acting like a bunch of Jew killing Third Reich piggies.

If it takes a dictator to dislodge the entrenched leftist stranglehold on America, so be it.

I would not call it ‘retribution’, I would call it what it is- Justice.

The only people who committed a crime were these leftist bureaucrats and judges.

I was once arrested for a crime I did not commit. When I was proven innocent (I was in my attorneys office, on the phone with the judge setting a court date) When I tried to have her arrested for filing false charges they tried to say “you’re just trying to get back at her”.

I said - no, I was the victim of the ONLY crime in this case. I needed justice. I had to threaten to file a writ of mandamus to get them to take action.

in this interview from 1998 DJT makes his stance on revenge very clear.

I doubt it has changed

If someone other than Joe Biden signed his executive orders with an autopen, they are obviously null and void.

If it were revealed that Obama was ineligible to serve as President of the USA, a constitutional crisis would certainly ensue, but the obvious result would be the nullification of all orders, appointments, etc.

If it were proven that Trump and not Biden was elected to the Presidency in 2020, a similar constitutional crisis would ensue.

I beleive the dem plan was to so f*** up the country with chaotic policies that people would demand decisive actions and they could justify going full Sulla mode. Sulla was the general in the Roman republic who marched on Rome and had himself dictator so he could start destroying the populist uprising. His method involved changing laws but mostly a lot of murdering and confiscation until the regime was seemingly unopposed because everyone who was in opposition was dead or in exile. This is what they dems were hoping to do if they won in 2024, less outright murder but deplatforming opposition, banning them from speaking, imprisoning them if they do ... oh yeah, for sure. I think they set the table and were ready to feast and thank god Trump won.

“Trump should start pushing for the radical leftist judged to be impeached.”

And you think there would be enough Rats Senators that would convict?

You need 2/3 of the senate to convict and unless you can get that simply impeaching is like spitting into the wind.
