WASHINGTON, D.C. – More than 1500 attorneys – including former ABA and state Bar presidents, retired federal judges and state Supreme Court justices, and former leaders of lawyer disciplinary bodies – have signed an Open Letter urging Bar Associations to condemn President Trump’s campaign attorneys and urging Bar disciplinary authorities to investigate the attorneys’ conduct.

The conduct relates to unfounded lawsuits seeking to overturn the presidential election and to false and deceitful public statements asserting election fraud – statements the lawyers have made to the public, but that they have not dared to make in court.

Lawyers Defending American Democracy (LDAD), a nonpartisan nationally-recognized organization of lawyers issued the letter, which reads in part:

“President Trump’s barrage of litigation is a pretext for a campaign to undermine public confidence in the outcome of the 2020 election, which inevitably will subvert constitutional democracy. Sadly, the President’s primary agents and enablers in this effort are lawyers, obligated by their oath and ethical rules to uphold the rule of law.”

The open letter calls out conduct by Rudolph Giuliani, Joseph DiGenova, Jenna Ellis, Victoria Toensing and Sidney Powell as violative of the ABA’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct

[Reily]

This is why I would support an annual culling of lawyers

[wjr123]

What’s a thousand lawyers at the bottom of ocean called?

A good start.

[Dogbert41]

Ahhh. The traitors have made their own list for us when the fraud gets proven in the Supreme Court! Disbar and strip their citizenship for a start!

They must be feeling the ground shifting.

Wait, is that a crack opening up?

A good start

[Slyfox]

It is called “krakenating”

[Carl Vehse]

Now we know over 1500 lawyers who should have been disbarred long ago.

Shakespeare wept...

[piasa]

What do you call a busload of lawyers-with one seat empty- going over a cliff?

A crying shame.

[RBW in PA]

I wonder if any of these lawyers felt “giddy” when they filed this. Inside joke for a lawyer I know who shouldn’t be.

[fhayek]

“nonpartisan”. Sure sign that the group is “über” partisan.

[OKSooner]

Mojo Nixon wasn’t particularly happy, either.

[Revel]

The devil has a a large army. They are trying to take out the good guys. Google, FaceBook, Twitter... All the same game.

“First we kill all the lawyers”. Was Shakespeare right? Or was he wrong by one occupation. Maybe it should have been “First we kill all the journalists”. I go back and forth on this. Nowadays I lean more towards the Journalists but when I read things like this article I can see how maybe he was right after all.

The conduct relates to unfounded lawsuits seeking to overturn the presidential election and to false and deceitful public statements asserting election fraud – statements the lawyers have made to the public, but that they have not dared to make in court.

What are those 1500 attorneys afraid of?

Why not let the "unfounded lawsuits" play out? If there was not election fraud, and the SCOTUS dismisses the lawsuits, then it's the time to take disciplinary actions.

It seems that, as with lawyers hoping to dismiss cases because they fear losing in court, these 1500 lawyers have the same kind of fear. But, no doubt, it's the Biden campaign and democrats, who are trying to dismiss the Trump cases, not only in the courts, but in the public arena.

If the Trump lawyers (and Trump) have no cases, then, why the fear, and why not let Trump and his lawyers look foolish?

Democrats lost the presidency, and they're trying to make sure that they get away with the election theft.
