Soros-Tied Obama Lawyers Form Group to Battle Trump
Breitbart ^ | 3 Mar 2017 | by AARON KLEIN

Posted on 03/03/2017 3:52:10 PM PST by drewh

Further evidence of Barack Obama’s close association with efforts to oppose President Trump has emerged: a group of former top lawyers for the Obama administration have formed an organization aimed at utilizing legal advocacy methods to oppose Trump’s policies. The organization is calling itself United to Protect Democracy, drawing on the theme of Obama’s farewell speech last month.

The group is already partnered with an organization heavily financed by billionaire George Soros and is led by a former Obama lawyer who previously worked at a Soros-financed global activist outfit.

While other Trump opponents focus on taking the president to court over the travel ban and deportations, the new group plans to drill into issues that aren’t already hitting the headlines, like potential intervention in and intimidation of regulatory agencies by West Wing staff. …

They started by submitting 50 Freedom of Information Act requests this week that they believe will confirm their suspicions. The plan is to bring what they find to reporters, build it into pressure for congressional oversight with the help of a campaign director they’ll hire, and, as necessary, to file lawsuits.

They’re also hoping to establish themselves as a base for government employees worried about ethics violations — up to and including becoming whistleblowers — and are hoping that their website can become a resource.

United to Protect Democracy is led by Ian Bassin, who served as Associate Counsel to the Obama White House and previously served in the Education Policy Working Group for Obama’s 2008 Presidential Transition Team.

Soros, Obama, Hillary, Deep State Maroons ...these guys are messing with the wrong guy. They still don’t understand Trump. The more they lie, cheat, and steal against him only emboldens Trump. They are going to get the horns ten-fold back at them by keeping this up.

I wish the worst on both of them. They’re set to destroy the USA. I would prefer they be completely destroyed first — non-violently, of course.

These people are seriously mentally ill folks...I would not be at all surprised if they don’t start shooting people with guns who were right handed and shot in the left side of the back of the heads; hangings in stairwells; unexplained car accidents; poisonings; choking on water; skiing accidents both water and snow; fires; pitch fork deaths...

Be careful folks, we are in mortal danger from these people...

“a group of former top lawyers for the Obama administration have formed an organization aimed at utilizing legal advocacy methods to oppose Trump’s policies. The organization is calling itself United to Protect Democracy”

“United to Protect Democracy” = “Syndicate to Destroy the Republic”.

These agitator/marxist/punks always use doublespeak, circumlocution, and euphemism to hide their real intent.
