Lawfare Earns Firm A Timeout!
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting the law firm that helped Trump’s prosecutor Jack Smith pursue his relentless lawfare. Smith had pressed two cases against Trump involving elections and presidential records. Both cases got dropped, but not until after Trump won re-election.
Now, the firm that guided, protected and provided pro bono support to Smith — the Covington & Burling LLP law firm of Washington D.C. — will have the security clearances of its attorneys revoked. “We’re going to call it the deranged Jack Smith signing, or bill,” Trump declared.
So tough titties to Barack Obama’s former Attorney General Eric Holder, a senior attorney at the firm, and Dana Remus, the White House counsel under Joe Biden. Also a partner: Victoria Nuland, the under secretary of state for political affairs under Antony Blinken. Here’s more from Memology 101.
