Perkins Coie and President Trump seem destined to butt heads from time to time
Well finally. The nefarious nature of the so called “Russian dossier” has come to light, and its salacious (read that as lewd and crude) allegations against President Trump will soon be shown for the slanderous falsehoods that they always were.
I think the entire firm should be disbarred for conspiracy to file false FEC discloses regarding payment to the Russians for made up slander as well as participating in that slander acting as the basis for false affidavits to the FiSA judges for wire taps on the Trump Campaign during an election— an enormous felony.
Finding this source NAMED, in the NYT, is fascinating to me. The firm has yet to be named, among the Big Media titans reporting on this revelation.
Maybe that will finally begin today.
Podesta’s lawyer is going down, I can guarantee you that. This guy was rejected from appearing yesterday in the Menendez trial. That tells me that no court considers him clean enough to entertain for any reason.
The climb up to get HILLARY is going to take some time, as they pick off all the underlings and turn them, to the point that they give the HAG up.
I have to admit I did not no who or what Perkins Coie is.
Turns out that Perkins Coie is a large law firm.
To be clear, the judge ruled that Elias’ testimony was inadmissible as hearsay and therefore did not allow Elias to testify.
By the time these investigations and revelations are over, this law firm
will be kaput. Out of business.
In addition, there is crime-fraud exception to protections otherwise available under attorney/client privilege. Relative to the email question I believe immunity was granted to some of the people at the State Dept. Depending on how it plays out, this whole thing could affect the ongoing validity of immunity for those individuals. What a house of cards . . .
Perkins Coie and its the entire firm should be disbarred:
<><> for conspiracy to file false FEC discloses regarding payment to the Russians,
<><> for making-up slanderous untrue allegations,
<><> participating in a slanderous action as the basis for a FISA warrant,
<><> filing false affidavits to the FiSA court,
<><> wire-tapping a candidate during an election,
<><> tapping phones at Trump's business/residence
====================================
Yet, the most enormous among the felonies committed by a law firm is withholding information from the FISA court---to dupe the court into giving them the go-ahead to wire-tap.

The REAL problem is that the (faked) Trump dossier was represented to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), as a genuine intelligence document.......used to get the go-ahead to conduct surveillance on individuals in the Trump campaign, and president Trump himself......and unmasking innocent citizens in the process, including General Kelly.
It is a felony to WITHHOLD info from the court to get the OK to surveil someone.
<><>Did Power's innumerable requests for a FISA warrant stipulate that Obama and Susan Rice wire-tapped Trump Tower......while Trump was a candidate?
<><> Did Power's obsessive requests stipulate that Obama's CIA director Brennan used phony foreign intel as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into candidate Trump?
<><> Did the request for a FISA warrant stipulate that phony foreign intel led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to candidate Trump (residing and conducting business in Trump Tower)?
<><> Did the request for a FISA warrant stipulate that foreign intel gave cover to Susan Rice's sifting/unmasking operations?
============================================
I didn't think so.
====================================================
REALITY CHECK---FROM ONE OF THE MANY EXPOSES---Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Obama-era Brennan at the CIA used phony foreign intel as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump.
That led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice's sifting/unmasking operations.
Not only Brennan.... "Susan The Sifter" had a dog in this hunt......Hillary tapped her for Secy of State. One could conclude Comey also had his reasons .....to stay on as a Hillary factotum. Mighty powerful incentives for anti-Trump shenanigans.
.......apparently there are records proving that Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens. An audiotape just released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow is part of a civil case........
Whomever tried the translation from English to Russian screwed-up several times....... and this is how they were outed.
Buy stock in hemlock.
Perkins represents lots and lots of the biggest left wing companies in the USA. Coincidence?

Disbarred would be a start. I think that all of the Swamp is interconnected via these big law firms. They’ve really perverted the attorney-client privilege and courts just never seem to apply the crime/fraud exception. Perkins Coie would be a good one to start with. Incidentally, Perkins has been Boeing’s main law firm for decades. Hmmmm.
Beat me to it. I’ve been retired too long. Lol.

Top Clinton Campaign Lawyer Helped Open Big Money Floodgates
Clinton has claimed she wants to reduce the amount of money in politics
June 22, 2015 5:00 am
Hillary Clinton’s top campaign lawyer was a key figure in a fight that allowed wealthy individuals to drastically increase the amount of money they could give to party committees, despite pledges by Clinton to combat money in politics.
As the Clinton team was shaping up earlier this year, they quietly brought aboard Marc Elias, a top campaign finance lawyer. Elias, who is a partner at the Washington D.C. law firm Perkins Coie and was general counsel for John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign, was just one month removed from drafting a provision that contradicted Clinton’s stated promises.
Elias was called in by the office of Harry Reid late last year to help craft a provision added into the $1.1 trillion spending bill at the last minute. The provision effectively raised the amount of money donors can give to political parties from $97,400 to $777,600.
The sudden addition of the provision surprised legislators on both sides of the aisle. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) commented at the time she did not know about it until one day before the vote on the year-end bill.
Politico reported that Elias’ firm, Perkins Coie, could benefit from the provision’s stealth implementation, which also allows for higher contributions to the legal fees of the committees.
Alongside Elias, Perkins Coie is led by Bob Bauer, who served as chief counsel to the Obama White House from January 2010 to June 2011. The firm, which is described as having a “stranglehold” on Democratic clients, has raked in more than $40 million in legal fees since 2000 from clients ranging from Obama to the Democratic National Committee.

And it was Kerry’s 2004 run that featured the Wilson-Plame attack on Cheney that caught up Scooter Libby instead.
“Podesta’s lawyer is going down, I can guarantee you that. This guy was rejected from appearing yesterday in the Menendez trial. That tells me that no court considers him clean enough to entertain for any reason.”
I’m told Marc Elias at Perkins Coie is harry Reid’s lawyer. You all know I’m stall after reid.
Also, Reid wrote a letter to Comey Aug 19, 2016 about Russian involvement. Wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes a huge bonfire.
A link about the Menendez trial and lawyer being rejected would help.

When Dems Are in Trouble, They Call Marc Elias

EXCERPT
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D., La.), for example, brought in Elias to handle the storm that arose when it became clear that Senate funds were used to pay for private charter flights, including for campaign events.
Elias conducted a full review of Landrieu’s travel expenses, and wrote a letter to the Senate Ethics Committee assuring it that all future taxpayer-funded charter flights would be “cleared in advance by counsel.”
Elias’ review resulted in Landrieu reimbursing the federal government $33,727.
He was also the lawyer brought in by Sen. Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.) when she was accused of improperly using government funds to pay for charter flights, and wound up returning $88,000 to the Treasury Department.
Elias was also the lawyer brought in by Sen. Kay Hagan (D., N.C.) when it became clear that her husband received hundreds of thousands worth of federal stimulus money.
“[Hagan’s] only involvement [with the stimulus grants] was when she made sure that a respected ethics attorney was consulted to ensure that it was appropriate, and the attorney found that it was,” said Hagan’s spokeswoman Sadie Weiner.
Kentucky Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes’s brought in Elias when it was revealed that she was using vehicles, including a luxurious tour bus, that were owned by her father’s catering company explicitly for her campaign.
Elias issued a statement in response to the Politico report that Grimes was violating campaign finance laws, and argued that the bus was being rented from her father’s company at “normal and usual” rates and therefore the campaign was in compliance with all laws.
Reid turned to Elias earlier this year when it was revealed that his campaign directed $31,000 to his granddaughter and wrote it off on filings as “holiday gifts.”
Elias employed what was described as a “rope-a-dope” strategy to the FEC inquiry, sending back a response that contained little to no additional information beyond the “holiday gift” description. The strategy got the FEC off the campaigns back for enough time for Reid to reimburse the money and settle the issue.
Harry Reid’s Senate Majority PAC has already paid Elias’ firm Perkins Coie $310,740 for its services this cycle, according to campaign filings compiled by CQ Moneyline. Reid’s Searchlight Fund and Nevada Fund have directed an additional $78,061 to the firm.
Elias was even used by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) to officially disavow the Ready for Warren Super PAC.
“The senator has not, and does not, explicitly or implicitly, authorize, endorse, or otherwise approve of the organization’s formation or activities,” Elias said in the letter to the FEC. The letter adds that Warren hopes “this organization will focus its attention and energy on maintaining Democratic control of the U.S. Senate and not confuse donors about a non-existent run for president.”
His involvement in Democratic campaign activities across the country is no surprise, as Elias has long been the legal mind that guides Democrats through troubled waters.
He is filing lawsuits in states across the country as an attorney for the National Democratic Redistricting Trust, including a lawsuit in Virginia that accuses Republicans of “racial gerrymandering.”
He represented John Kerry in 2004, and led the unsuccessful fight to get ads run by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth taken off the air.
Elias also was brought in to be the lawyer representing Al Franken for a recount in Minnesota’s Senate election in 2008. Critics say Elias convinced “inexperienced election officials” to disregard Minnesota’s election laws during the recount.
After months spent in the courtroom by Elias, Franken ended up winning by just over 300 votes.
