Obama Lawyers Unite to Launch Legal Attacks Against Trump Administration

Lawyers who worked with former President Barack Obama have formed a nonprofit called United to Protect Democracy, which aims at filing lawsuits against President Donald Trump's administration.

The group plans to investigate Trump, give information to the press to build the pressure for Congressional investigations, and eventually file lawsuits, Politico reported on Thursday.

The leader of the group and former associate White House counsel Ian Bassin warned that democracies don't end quickly. He said they often "decline over a period of years that happen through a series of much smaller steps," in an apparent suggestion that the Trump administration would contribute to that decline.

Tipped his hand. It is hard to proceed with a lawsuit when you are in jail.

He was right about numerous things. Some did not pertain to politics. Which are you referring to?

This is a reward to lawyers for supporting Democrats so loyally. America is being turned into a Socialist country and unfortunately it is time for loyal Americans,Conservatives and honorable people to start arming ourselves and prepare to defend our country from the Evil Democrats. EVERYONE’S rights come before Homegrown Americans. I truly believe we will be destroyed by an Evil,corrupt group of Demons.

Really? I think the last 8 years provided a pretty good head start on democracy's decline, Mr. Bassin. You can thank your former boss for that. One thing is for sure, these people personify chutzpah.

Fight back. Find the inevitable dirt they have in their backgrounds. File complaints against their license. Knock off a couple and the nonsense will stop.

“Obama Lawyers Unite to Launch Legal Attacks Against Trump Administration”

Has the Fraud reactivated his license to practice law?

Tort reform with penalties for filing frivolous law suits would fix this but I doubt today’s Pubbies would consider it

I’d be happy with an appropriate replacement for Kennedy (or Roberts).
