Law Firm Kirkland and Ellis Withdraws From Representing Pennsylvania Secretary of State After One of its Associates Threatened Trump Attorney

Law firm Kirkland & Ellis withdrew from representing Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar on Friday.

Trump’s lawyers have been harassed and threatened for the ‘crime’ of representing the President of the United States.

Last week the anti-American hacks at The Lincoln Project doxxed and harassed two of President Trump’s Pennsylvania lawyers prompting them to withdraw from a voter fraud case.

Last weekend one of President Trump’s lawyers had her life threatened after she filed a civil rights lawsuit to ensure a clean election in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia lawyer Linda Kerns said in a Sunday night court filing that she was harassed and threatened by a lawyer working for Kirkland & Ellis.

“Since this case was filed, undersigned counsel has been subjected to continuous harassment in the form of abuse e-mails, phone calls, physical and economic threats, and even accusations of treason – all for representing the President of the United States’ campaign in this litigation,” wrote Kerns in her filing.

“On November 14, 2020 at 8:43 am, an attorney at Kirkland & Ellis left a one-minute voicemail for undersigned counsel. The voicemail, which has been provided to counsel of record from Kirkland & Ellis in this case and will be provided to the Court via email upon request, speaks for itself and by any measure falls afoul of standards of professional conduct.”

Kirkland & Ellis has now withdrawn from representing PA Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar.

“A Kirkland & Ellis associate engaged in behavior that could lead to disbarment for not only the associate, but several partners. K&E tried to play the, “It wasn’t our fault game,” but that’s now how the law works.” Attorney Mike Cernovich said.

The court still has done nothing in response to Trump campaign lawyers asking for sanctions.

It is impossible to coexist with American radicals, because they do not want it and will not allow it.

Disbar them. They can still do an honest day’s work breaking legs for the mob.

I’ve tried to steer clear of wishing true evil on people - like dying in a grease fire for instance - but in the case of the Lincoln Project I’m willing to make an exception.

"TDS is contagious just like Bubonic Plague"

At this point, and with all the BIZARRE behavior of the left, rather than TDS, It seems more like Never Trump and Democrat party:

Guilty-AH-Of-Corruption-And-Desperately-Trying-A-Vote- Fraud-Coup-To-Cover-It-Up

syndrome.

Doubt it. The transcript hasnt been released. The lawyer claims he didnt know that the firm was working on the case

Judge said it was a mockery type phone call.

Linda might be acting like a snowflake.

One lawyer here said if it had been a guy he would have shrugged it off and continued his job

They’re changing their name to the John Wilkes Booth Project.

Apropos. But I did a web search and couldn't verify the name change.

Awful. The associate should have simply asked to be replaced by another lawyer from within the firm. Threatening clients or anyone else is unacceptable unprofessional behavior
