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.

Is this the Jeff Swartz who was a judge with Loree Feiler and Jack Coe?

I’m writing a check immediately.

One of the rudest person's to ever don a robe; sorry I would rather hit you then hit you up.

I'd be willing to bet that an overwhelming amount of FBI agents and DOJ employees are MAGA supporters. And the orange man said he was going to go pardon all the insurrectionists and clean house at the DOJ. Elections have consequences, I guess. Don't say you weren't warned. But I won't be volunteering assistance anytime soon.

We need DOGE to audit the SAO. Calling Elon!

I guess with all the corrupt spending being exposed at USAID and other agencies Democrats are going to have to fund their own causes now.

We are about to find out just how organic their movements are without government funds. Likely their entire platform will collapse.

What corrupt spending is being exposed?? Just because you don’t agree with how the money is being spent, doesn’t make it corrupt. Some line items are essential to our national security and our standing in the world, some need to be eliminated without question and the rest are up for debate. USAID makes up 0.3% of the federal budget. I suggest you sit this one out and look to the pentagon, which in each of the 7 years it has been required to complete an audit, FAILED. DoD which holds nearly 4 trillion in assets receives 13-14% of federal budget. Elon Musk has a personal vendetta against USAID because the agency was investigating its relationship with Starlink to provide internet access to Ukraine. Concerns were raised over conflicts of interest and the integrity of the service.

Too many Chiefs. Worthless “specialized units”
