Ron DeSantis Hosts D.C. Fundraiser at Dominion’s Lawyer’s Office
The National Pulse ^ | June 21, 2023 | RAHEEM J. KASSAM

Posted on 06/21/2023 4:19:10 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Would-be GOP nominee Ron DeSantis is hosting a fundraiser at the offices of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, one of the top D.C. lobbying firms who served as lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems, and count amongst their top directors Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s former chief of staff.

The event will take place on June 23rd, in Suite 1200 at 1155 F Street NW – otherwise known as the offices of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, which also famously dropped the Republican National Committee as a client in a lawsuit against the Democrat Party’s Jan 6 Committee.

One of the key names on the invite is Marc Lampkin, a lobbyist for the firm with links to the Chinese Communist Party, as well as Big Pharma and the puberty blocker industry.

Critically, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck boasts of representing Dominion Voting Systems, stating on its website:

“Dominion Voting Systems, a provider of voting technology in 28 states, faced baseless allegations of fraud in the 2020 election. They needed a defense team with not only a strong reputation but the ability to manage the lawsuit while maintaining a nonpartisan stance. Dominion turned to Brownstein. Our team secured a quick dismissal. The federal judge subsequently awarded attorneys fees and costs to the defendants and imposed sanctions on the plaintiffs’ attorneys who brought the frivolous and politically motivated lawsuit purportedly on behalf of all registered voters. This comprehensive resolution was not only crucial in maintaining Dominion’s ability to support elections and rebuking threats against its employees, but also in correcting misinformation propagated to the general public.”

Dominion first retained the firm in 2019, with Nadeem Elshami – Pelosi’s former chief of staff – listed as one of the specific lobbyists. Dominion’s six figure annual payments for representation continue to this day.

In February, DeSantis hosted Dominion lawyer Libby Locke for a panel discussion about defamation in Hialeah Gardens, Florida.

Ho-hum. You sound like Sean Hannity who I stopped watching back in 2008, because he had one schtick, and repeated the same schtick over and over. Get a new schtick. You’re like the little boy who cried wolf.

Who Trump helped in the closing days of the Florida election
by attacking DeSantis.

You mean the slimeball Sean Hannity who helped Trump LIE about the only conservative candidate in Pennsylvania's GOP Senate primary to install the leftist, Dr Azz, as the candidate so he could lose to the brain-dead John Fetterman?

So, while you figured out Sean Hannity, you are still under the Trump spell?

Yeah, Trump and Hannity are two peas in a pod.

What it boils down to...The America We DeserveI generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record. I'll be back with his current position. I just didn't want to keep you waiting with nothing.

Oh look! Here he is 19 years later...

Trump Endorses Background Checks, Rules Out Assault-Weapons Ban

Did you want me to keep going? Something more current than his 2000 or 2019 views?

The only DeSantis crowd is really the Anyone but Trump crowd. DeSantis is merely their latest vehicle and is seen by them as their best hope of defeating Trump, although that hope is fading fast.

DeSantis was their candidate of choice primarily because they could pretend to care about the same things MAGA voters care about since, so we’re told, DeSantis is Trump without the baggage. They don’t really care if DeSantis is anti-tariff. And they don’t really care if DeSantis is in favor of intervention in Ukraine. They just don’t want the rest of us to know about it.

WOW! Nonetheless, Trump listened to Feinstein, heard from a few more gun control proponents—including Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL)—then looked back at Feinstein and told her she should add her bill to the Manchin/Toomey bill for consideration.

You really don't expect people to read what you link, do you.
Headlines aren't the whole story.

CLUE!

Sen. Feinstein talked about her bill and described the AR-15 as one of “the latest and newest weapons” to hit our streets. However, Eugene Stoner designed the AR-15 in the 1950s and Armalite began producing the gun during the 1960s. Are weapons from 60 years ago now considered “latest and newest”? Go ahead, lady, embarrass yourself some more with your ignorance.

Thursday night’s Log Cabin Republicans’ “Spirit of Lincoln” gala in the main ballroom of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago beachfront club was a joyous celebration of gay rights and — in a case of ironic timing — the historic same-sex marriage law signed by President Joe Biden days earlier. THAT is your evidence that Trump supports child grooming? Trump and his administration had a mixed record on LGBTQ issues. He’s been criticized for driving a wedge between gay and transgender communities, and for promoting extreme religious liberty policies and executive orders they say allowed for discrimination against LGBTQ people that pushed the movement backwards. You need better material.

You need to believe in...federal protection for abortion if you support Trump.
I can't seem to find that in your article. Could you please post the direct text which supports your assertion? How exactly Trump would reach a resolution "the whole country" could agree with was not made clear. That's hardly assertive of anything.

Just like Bush II - if you recall when he was Gov. of Texas he too got along very well with all of the Dems.

LOL.

Trying to inject some levity into the discussion. My apologies.

Yes, President Trump supported the bump stock ban and “his” ATF with his support classified a bump stock as a machine gun. Essentially using the Federal government to infringe on the 2nd Amendment rights of citizens.

You suffer from the same malady.

Yes, you are correct.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-administration-issues-rule-banning-bump-stocks-year/story?id=59884493

“The president is once given fulfilling a promise to the American people and this morning the acting attorney general signed the final rule making clear that bump stocks are illegal because they fall within the definition of machine guns banned under federal firearms law,” press secretary Sarah Sanders said at her briefing Tuesday. “A 90-day period now begins which persons in possession of bump-stock type devices must return them to an ATF office or destroy them. Instructions will be posted on the website today.”

https://abcnews.go.com/beta-story-container/Politics/trump-host-school-shooting-victims-listening-session/story?id=53225621

“President Donald Trump announced Tuesday he has signed a memorandum directing Attorney General Jeff Sessions to propose new regulations that would ban devices that can effectively turn legal weapons into machine guns.”

“Today, I am directing the Department of Justice to dedicate all available resources to complete the review of the comments received, and, as expeditiously as possible, to propose for notice and comment a rule banning all devices that turn legal weapons into machineguns.”
