How To Wage Lawfare - The 65 Project and Democracy Docket
Naming and shaming the commissars who are destroying our justice system and democracy while claiming to save them, plus a prayer for Peter Navarro
Comrades: On Sunday’s podcast, TJ Harker and I discussed how lawfare is the subversion of our judicial system.
The 65 Project and Democracy Docket are lawfare demoralization agents. They are seeking to usher in single party rule where only Democrats win and are allowed to challenge elections, while making it easier for them to cheat and imprison their opponents. The 65 Project has created a regime enemies’ list of 100+ lawyers who represented Trump in 65 lawsuits regarding the 2020 Election. Its mission is clear - if you don’t let the Dems get away with election chicanery, you will be unpersoned. The 65 Project is an initiative within Law Works, an NGO sponsored by the Franklin Education Forum. According to filings, it raised and spent ~$7 million from dark money groups like Pierre Omidyar’s Democracy Fund in 2022 alone.
Their spin is chilling:
Following Biden’s victory, an army of Big Lie Lawyers filed 65 lawsuits based on bogus assertions to overturn the election and give Trump a second term. While the nation’s legal institutions stood up to this attempted “coup-via-courtroom,” Trump and his “Big Lie Lawyers” have “learned lessons” from 2020 and are already working to seize control of state and local election processes and to prepare for malicious election litigation efforts. The 65 Project is a bipartisan effort to protect democracy from these once-and-future abuses by holding accountable Big Lie Lawyers who bring fraudulent and malicious lawsuits to overturn legitimate election results, and by working with bar associations to deter future abuses by establishing clear standards for conduct that punish lies about the conduct or results of elections.
The leadership of The 65 Project are classic Democrat crony commissars:
Melissa is President of Moss Advisors and a veteran political strategist with 30+ of experience in public affairs. She is the founder of Law Works, a bipartisan nonprofit dedicated to supporting and protecting the Mueller Investigation. She served as a political appointee in the Clinton Administration and was the Finance Director of the DNC and the first National Field Director of the Democratic Leadership Council. She graduated from UCLA and The Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
Michael was previously a general counsel for Represent.Us, a leftycampaign finance regulation advocacy group. From 2006-2008, he was a litigation associate with Perkins Coie, a law firm with close ties to the DNC and Marc Elias. He worked as the Wisconsin state field director for the presidential campaign of John Kerry and managed the Senatorial campaign of former Sen. Herb Kohl. Early in his career, Teter served as the deputy finance director of the California Democratic Party.
Media Matters’ David Brock is an advisor and clear on the project’s McCarthyist intimidation goals: “The 65 Project will not only bring the grievances in the bar complaints, but shame them and make them toxic in their communities and in their firms… This is mostly important for the deterrent effect that it can bring so that you can kill the pool of available legal talent going forward.”
Marc Elias is a one man wrecking ball to our elections. He files lawsuits around the country to reduce transparency and make it easier to cheat. At Perkins Coie, he represented the 2004 Kerry campaign, 2016 Clinton campaign, and DNC. He hired Fusion GPS on behalf of the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign to create the Steele dossier. There is something very sinister about this childless man who spends all his time on mass mail-in vote dumps. He is so creepy that even the Biden regime has distanced itself from him, though he does look like one of the administration’s other court eunuchs:
As TJ Harker and I discussed in our podcast, The best ways to counter lawfare through organizations like the NCLA (New Civil Liberties Alliance). If you wouldn’t trust someone to watch your kids or even pets, you probably shouldn’t trust them to run a judicial system. Consider the following commissars:
Tanya Chutkan: presiding over the Trump Jan 6 trial
Jack Smith: prosecuting the Trump Jan 6 case
Arthur Engoron: fined Trump $400+ million without a jury or victim
Letitia James: New York AG who ran a campaign on “getting Trump”
Lisa Monaco: US Deputy AG
Kristen Clarke: Assistant AG for the DOJ Civil Rights Division going after Elon
Ann Donnelly: Eastern District NY judge who sentenced Doug Mackey aka Ricky Vaughn to 7 months in prison for memes
Kathleen McCormick: Delaware judge who cancelled Elon’s $56 billion compensation package
Neil Katyal: Obama’s Solicitor General
Kathy Seeley: ruled in favor of kids suing Montana for not doing enough to stop climate change
Fani Willis: Fulton County perjurer and adulterer extraordinaire
Keith Ellison: Minnesota AG
Peter Cahill: judge who sentenced Derek Chauvin and his fellow officers
The Washington State Supreme Court:
Trump and Elon are two of the most prominent examples of lawfare victims. Who else should we be looking out for?
Anyone else notice how many females there are in this post? And most of the males also have a very dubious look to them.
It's kangaroos all the way down.
One of the most pernicious aspects of lawfare wasn't even mentioned. Sue and Settle is where activists and like minded Deep State minions, notably environmentalists, conspire to create a policy. The activists sue, the bureaucrats settle, and a judge enters an order. Presto, instant law without the inconvenient necessity of actually using the Constitutional process. Conservatives were starting to catch on to this which is why Roberts, using the extra-constitutional entity of the Judicial Council, just changed the rules to restrict the 5th Circuit which is the favorite venue of conservatives. It was all dressed up in high-minded rhetoric but that is the effect.
