FIRST ON FOX: A dozen Republican White House lawyers who served in the administrations of then-Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush are endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in her race against GOP nominee former President Donald Trump.

"We endorse Kamala Harris and support her election as President because we believe that returning former President Trump to office would threaten American democracy and undermine the rule of law in our country," the lawyers wrote in a letter that the signatories shared first with Fox News Digital.

The letter was released on Friday, the day after Harris delivered her nomination acceptance speech in the culminating moment of the Democratic National Convention, which was held in Chicago.

“If you’re still in Washington after 20-40 years you’re sucked into the swamp and you don’t want it drained”

And most often if you went to DC with lofty ideas, and plans to do the right thing, within two years the contamination has started. By five years, you’re completely owned by lobbyists, etc.

How many of these attorneys had the CIA pay for their law school like Bill Barr did?

The UniParty Establishment is exposing itself.

They fear Trump because he’s not a member of their bipartisan fraternity.

I just searched John B. Bellinger III as he is first on your list.

Per Wiki:

“general counsel to the Commission on the Roles and Capabilities of the U.S. intelligence community (1995–1996), and as special assistant to Director of Central Intelligence William Webster (1988–1991)...”

Bet the CIA connection is with all of them.

So far, 3 for 3 with top CIA jobs...

David Samuel Cohen (born June 11, 1963) is an American attorney who has served as deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) since January 20, 2021, previously holding the position from February 9, 2015 to January 20, 2017. He served as acting director of the CIA from January 20 to March 19, 2021 until the Senate confirmation of William J. Burns.

John Mitnik

He was fired as DHS general counsel on September 17, 2019, reportedly because he had resisted illegal policies and actions pushed by White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller. In 2020 he endorsed Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy, along with multiple other Trump former officials. He also joined over 70 former senior Republican national security officials in issuing a statement, initially released on August 20, 2020, critical of Donald Trump and endorsing Joe Biden.

This is very disturbing because lawyers would never lie. No matter how much money you pay them they simply can’t be bought. hehe

Ronald Wilson Reagan was the 40th president of the United States, serving from 1981 to 1989.

Lots of people still alive from that time period.
