EXCLUSIVE: DNC Sent Millions To Law Firms Behind ‘Unprecedented Lawfare’ Campaign Against Trump
The Daily Caller ^ | 06/25/2024 | Henry Rodgers

Posted on 06/25/2024 4:51:00 PM PDT by ChipMarne

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has sent millions of dollars to law firms that are intimately involved in an “unprecedented lawfare” campaign against former President Donald Trump, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reviewed by the Daily Caller.

The DNC has paid close to $2 million since August of 2021 to Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP for “legal services,” according to the DNC’s FEC filings. Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP founding partner Roberta A. Kaplan represented E. Jean Carroll in her sexual assault and defamation suits against Trump. The New York Times previously reported that Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn, helped pay for Carroll’s lawsuits.

The DNC did not pay the firm for any services from its founding in 2017 until August of 2021. Carroll initiated her first lawsuit against Trump in 2019.

The firm states that it was founded to “build a law firm for the future rooted in principles of equity, integrity, and justice.” Partner Joshua Matz served as counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during the first Trump impeachment trial. He was invited back to serve on the second impeachment trial, according to the firm’s website. The firm also touts “representing former U.S. District Court Judge John Gleeson as a court-appointed amicus in United States of America v. Michael T. Flynn.”

They do the same thing against overseas military ballots. They have teams of lawyers, specifically trained to file complaints with the court to have those ballots rejected. They’ve been doing it for years. They were particularly active in 2000, when Gore tried to steal the election in Florida.

“Tish” didn’t do squat about the tax evasion of the Clinton Foundation, nor the theft of a Billion Dollars by Chirlane McCray and Warren Wilhelm Jr.

Trump has said, “It’s the crime of the century” “This has never happened in the history of our country”.

“The biggest criminal conspiracy in US history.”

No kidding. By ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE.

I was in college during Watergate and didn’t pay a lot of attention, but I do remember the daily, incessant drumbeat and many active players out to get Nixon. Today? Almost nothing even though this is thousands of times worse than Watergate.

My prediction is that Trump will try but the Deep State will stop him every time. Lawsuits will be flying 24/7 and protests during the next 4 yrs will make 2020 look like a day at Disneyland. We’ll be no better off, but at least Trump will be at the helm issuing EOs to dismantle onerous regulations and maybe appoint another SC justice, so that’s worth the fight.

There is a reason DC is crawling with lawyers and the ABA is in bed with the DNC, where they investigate everything.

And we can all be sure that the ABA will have lots of butthurt when Trump ignores them for judicial picks.

It would be interesting if this came out during the debate on Thursday.

Interesting timing.

The fascist DNC has discovered that they can pay millions to law firms to do their dirty work for them and then claim “privilege”

hillary and the DNC started this with the fake “russian” dossier, and it worked so well that they’ve greatly amplified the tactic, moving to completely subvert the U.S. justice system by BUYING the U.S. “justice” system to take down their political opponents ...

A RICO case against all involved in this would be very appropriate.

Once found guilty, should they spend 25 years in prison or life without the possibility of parole?

There are 1.3 million lawyers registered in the USA. If they all died tomorrow the world would be a better place.

Those so-called law firms aren’t doing this pro bono?!

Well, so much for principle, eh?

They’re just more people willing for the shilling.
