DNC Paying for Lawfare Against Trump
Timothy Birdnow
The DNC has given millions of dollars to law firms to engage in lawfare against Donald Trump.
The Daily Caller has the story:
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has sent millions of dollars to law firms that are intimately involved in an "unprecedented lawfare” campaign against former President Donald Trump, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reviewed by the Daily Caller.
The DNC has paid close to $2 million since August of 2021 to Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP for "legal services,” according to the DNC’s FEC filings. Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP founding partner Roberta A. Kaplan represented E. Jean Carroll in her sexual assault and defamation suits against Trump. The New York Times previously reported that Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn, helped pay for Carroll’s lawsuits.
The DNC did not pay the firm for any services from its founding in 2017 until August of 2021. Carroll initiated her first lawsuit against Trump in 2019.
The firm states that it was founded to "build a law firm for the future rooted in principles of equity, integrity, and justice.” Partner Joshua Matz served as counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during the first Trump impeachment trial. He was invited back to serve on the second impeachment trial, according to the firm’s website. The firm also touts "representing former U.S. District Court Judge John Gleeson as a court-appointed amicus in United States of America v. Michael T. Flynn.”
The DNC has also paid Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP several million dollars for "legal services” since 2021, according to FEC filings. ABC News previously reported the firm has "represented the DNC for a long time.” Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale And Dorr LLP has filed numerous Amicus briefs in the United States v. Donald Trump case, which concerns Trump’s potential criminal liability for actions related to the 2020 election and Jan. 6, and currently sits before the Supreme Court.

And this surprises us how much? I'd say, not so much as a rat's patootie.

Not in the least Dana. It's just good we have proof of it now and the details.
I wonder if this is legally actionable? It should be. Trump should be able to sue.
