We witness lots of lawfare, so we need lots of anti-lawfare.
That’s why former Trump administration official Jeffrey Clark, a victim of lawfare himself, is opening a new law firm.
Democrats went after him because, he says, “I am a strong Trump supporter and thought Georgia investigating its election in 2020 at a deeper level was worth doing.” As part of this vindictive campaign, the DC Bar has been pushing to revoke Clark’s license to practice law.
On the X social media platform, Clark says that the firm, which he is leading, will combat all kinds of weaponization of the law, “but especially abuses of congressional and state legislative branch oversight, perversion of bar discipline processes, and . . . bogus criminal indictments.”
He is looking for help. “We already have a small team of dedicated lawyers with Article I, Article II, and/or Article III branch experience at the federal level and state government experience as well. You would join them and me in this important effort to turn our country around.”
He links to a page on itsyourgov.org describing the positions.
There you’ll learn that your duties would include “preparing rapid-response filings and ethics defenses for attorneys facing bar complaints, representing clients in constitutional, administrative, and investigative proceedings, and pursuing strategic litigation — including civil suits and possibly counter-complaints — against entities abusing legal and regulatory processes.”
So if you’re an ace lawyer who finds this project exciting and worthwhile, and think you could help, you know what to do.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.
