LEGALDEFENSE FUND

 We do not often publicize defense funds, but this one is worthwhile. 

A former Judge has emailed us. 

Good afternoon Rumpole,

It has been a long time.  I have retired as a professor of law and now I am a "Distinguished" Professor Emeritus.  Imagine that.  Me "Distinguished". Oh well.

Let me get down to why I have contacted you.  Before I begin, I am in no way seeking contributions of money from anyone.  I am deeply involved with an organization named The State Democracy Defense Fund.  It is headed up by Norman Eisen and has a board of directors of very (and they are) distinguished lawyers and journalists.

We have been asked to represent a number of FBI agents and DOJ lawyers who have been or are about to be illegally fired and likely investigated.  I know it seems antithetical to ask defense attorneys to help defend FBI and DOJ personnel, but in the long view it benefits us all, in light of the alternative.  I am looking for attorneys who would be willing to participate, if only in a minor way.  If interested please contact me at swartzj@cooley.edu.  All assistance would be appreciated.

Resistance is not futile, but the lack of it has an inevitable bad result.
