Claim: Prosecutions, Disbarment of Trump Lawyers Aims to ‘Chill’ GOP Lawyers

Joel B. Pollak 20 May 2024

The ongoing efforts to prosecute, disbar, and smear attorneys who served as election lawyers for President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign could leave Republicans short of legal talent for the election fight in November 2024.

That’s the analysis of some observers, noting the recent successful prosecutions of Trump aides Peter Navarro and Stephen K. Bannon, and the ongoing effort to disbar Trump attorney John Eastman, among other such efforts.

 

One commentator — “@amuse” — wrote on X / Twitter:

    Democrats have aggressively targeted over 400 Republican lawyers and politicians with criminal charges, civil lawsuits, and disbarment proceedings ahead of the upcoming presidential election.

    …

    In addition to these criminal trials, Democrats are pursuing numerous efforts to have Republican lawyers disbarred. The Soros-backed 65 Project has filed disbarment proceedings against more than 100 Republican lawyers, which prevent many of these lawyers from working until the proceedings are concluded. In almost every case, the charges lack merit, but they have three primary impacts: a chilling effect that discourages other Republican lawyers and politicians from helping Trump, a financial drain on the resources of Republicans who might otherwise use their funds to help elect Trump, and a time drain that physically keeps them busy during the campaign.

    …

    Their goal is to prevent Republicans from ensuring the integrity of the election and protecting the sanctity of your vote.

Imagine you have $400 to spend on a luxury dining experience. You might treat yourself to a tin of premium caviar, a bottle or two of very fine wine or a multi-course meal at a high-end restaurant.

Or you could blow it all on a single pineapple.

The Rubyglow pineapple –— bred for its distinctive red exterior and its sweetness — costs $395.99 at Melissa’s Produce, a California-based seller of specialty fruit and veggies. It took Del Monte, a wholesaler which sells a variety of produce but specializes in pineapple, a decade and a half to develop the red-hued fruit. A limited crop was first available in China early this year. Recently, Del Monte decided to see how the item would fare in the United States, and Melissa’s starting selling it at the astronomical price.

I don't know if it was classified as a 'Rubyglow' pineapple, but Farmer Joe's had pink pineapple awhile ago -- not nearly the cost.  I didn't try any (they were giving out samples) -- pink pinapple???  I passed.

This judge wouldn't allow it.

Agree fully, I am just fishing for the legalities of it.
