The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has funneled several million dollars to law firms at the center of the “lawfare” campaign against former President Donald Trump, the Daily Caller reported on Tuesday.
The DNC paid roughly $2 million, earmarked as “legal services,” to Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP, a law firm founded by Roberta A. Kaplan, the Caller reported, according to Federal Election Commission’s reports.
Kaplan is the attorney who represented E. Jean Carroll in her harassment and defamation lawsuits against Trump. Notably, the DNC payments to Kaplan’s firm began just two years after Carroll launched her assault and defamation lawsuits against Trump.
The DNC also directed several million dollars to Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, the firm behind several anti-Trump amicus briefs in his Supreme Court case against Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP’s connections to the Democratic Party extend beyond the Carroll lawsuits. Partner Joshua Matz served as counsel for the Democratic-led House Judiciary Committee during Trump’s impeachments.
Similarly, the payments to Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP began in 2021. Several attorneys from the firm subsequently secured high-profile positions in the federal government, according to the Caller and the National Law Journal.
Embattled DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas led the law firm’s coronavirus task force. Brian Boynton, a former government and regulatory partner, now serves as the DOJ’s principal deputy assistant attorney general.
Jonathan Cedarbaum, a former co-leader of Wilmer’s False Claims Act practice, served as a deputy counsel to Biden and National Security Council legal advisor from January 2021 to February 2022, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Danielle Conley, who led Wilmer’s anti-discrimination practice, is now Biden’s deputy counsel in the White House Counsel’s Office.
Mike Davis, a legal adviser to Trump and founder of the Article III Project, criticized the DNC’s relationship with these law firms.
“There is now clear and explosive evidence that the Biden DNC is paying Democrat law firms to engage in this unprecedented lawfare and election interference against President Trump,” Davis said.
Several conservative leaders issued damning reactions to the Caller’s findings:
THE DNC IS NOW OFFICIALLY LINKED TO LAWFARE AGAINST TRUMP
Dana Bash and her ilk constantly ask where's the evidence tying Biden and the Democrat Party to lawfare against Trump. Here's evidence of the DNC, which links them to millions in funding law firms to promote lawfare…

Well, duh...
They are an even greater danger out of office, where there are very few constraints on their methods and tactics. They are free to drive a stake in our constitutional form of government using any source of funding from anyone or anywhere to get the job done. They and their henchmen are very, very, dangerous people.
Isn't that a felony?
Nothing we didn’t know but is there irrefutable evidence?
Ha! Great question!
RE: Isn’t that a felony?
Only if your name is Donald Trump /sarc
Are parties to lawsuits legally required to disclose their clients/funders, or is dark money in lawsuits ok?
Come on! Didn’t everyone already know this or at least suspect it?? This is what they do. It’s been their MO for ever. And no one will be investigated or charged for election interference! What’s new?
DNC busted. That’s cute.
Nothing will happen to them. They have zero to fear!! Isn’t our “justice system” spectacular?!?!
Campaign finance violation or election interference?🤔
Campaign finance fraud labeled as “legal expense”!
18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or
...
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Perhaps E. Jean Carroll et al. should be enjoying her jury verdicts in federal penitentiaries.
A woman and her accomplices should not be above this law simply because of her experiences.
“DNC busted.”
I’m pretty sure campaign finance law has exceptions for the DNC and the media.
There a book called “Get Trump”.
There was also a book written about how to do so.
Bttt.

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”
I think the New York searches and seizures, being politically motivated, are therefore unreasonable.
DNC BUSTED? What might THAT mean; BUSTED? How many going to prison? How many million$ in penalties? NOBODY? NO penalties?! Then NOBODY was BUSTED. In fact, by being REPORTED, with NO penalties, they actually have been given worldwide acclaim!
You think.
