To paraphrase something conservative radio talk show host Dan Bongino has often said: The difference between conservatives and liberals is that conservatives think liberals are just people with bad ideas. Liberals think conservatives aren’t just people with bad ideas, they’re also bad people. That he is right can be seen in the way the far left responds to conservatives. It is not enough to disagree with the conservatives; they and their entire lives must be destroyed. And when it comes to Donald Trump, “special” rules apply to him and everyone associated with or supporting him.
The 65 Project is a left-wing organization and is considered to be funded by “dark money”. It seems they are planning possible “activities” after the election. On Thursday, the group released one Warning on Instagram to all lawyers Anyone who might be thinking about working for Donald Trump after the election could be disqualified from doing that work. The social media post reads:
“Don’t let partisan politics jeopardize your standing with the legal profession…Don’t risk your law license by joining an attempt to undermine democracy. We – and the public – are watching.”
This is not The 65 Project’s first attack on lawyer intimidation. In 2020, the law firm Porter Wright, which represented Trump after the election, was hit with ethics complaints against two of its lawyers days after the election, before hearings on challenges to the election could take place. The group’s warning may be in response to Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump’s announcement in June that the RNC recruited lawyers in advance the 2024 election. She explained that the goal is to have lawyers at every polling place who can be proactive about any problems.
WHO exactly is The 65 Project? Most of its members are not household names. She That includes the former Utah colonel Court Judge Christine Durham, Roberta Ramo, the first woman to serve as president of the American Bar Association, and Democratic consultant and former Clinton administration official Melissa Moss. Paul Rosenzweig, a conservative member of the Federalist Society, a lead attorney on Ken Starr’s Whitewater investigation into the Clintons and an employee of the George W. Bush administration’s Department of Homeland Security, apparently describes this group as “bipartisan.” Then there are those involved who are household names. David Brock, Media Matters for America and super PAC founder of American Bridge 21st Century. Brock is a staunch Hillary Clinton ally and a generous Democratic fundraiser. The most engaging name on the list, however, is former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-D).
So what do these people have to gain from jeopardizing the existence of potential Trump lawyers? The Democrats are afraid. They have vowed since 2020 that they would do everything to ensure that Donald Trump never becomes president again. But the American people might disagree. The polls for Trump are looking good, and that’s why there has to be a plan. My colleague Bonchie reported that Democrats had already stated that they might not certify the election in the event of a Trump victory, with the usual suspect, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), leading the charge. But wait, I was told this was a riot.
Fox News has Trump vs. Harris on “Dead Heat” – is that really true?
NEW: Democratic lawmakers signal they won’t certify the election if Donald Trump wins
Brock didn’t shy away from the group’s goals. In an interview he openly stated that their soiled purpose was:
“With the bar complaints, we are not only creating resentment, but also shaming them and making them toxic in their communities and companies. I think the smaller fish are probably more susceptible to what we’re doing. They endanger their livelihoods. And.”, you know, they have a good reputation in their local communities.
If you look into this American Bar Association Model Rules In the Professional Conduct section, you’ll find this provision: “A lawyer should use the procedures of the law only for legitimate purposes and not to harass or intimidate others.” Presumably, at The 65 Project, this does not fall under Donald Trump’s special rules.
