The 65 Project will spend millions this year trying to expose and disbar more than 100 lawyers who worked on Trump’s election lawsuits. //
The goal is to prevent conservative attorneys from challenging election results in the future, including the upcoming 2022 midterms. For example, the group is pushing the American Bar Association to codify rules prohibiting certain election challenges and adopting language that “fraudulent and malicious lawsuits to overturn legitimate election results violate the ethical duties lawyers must abide by.” //
While such complaints are supposed to be conducted privately to protect the reputation of attorneys, the 65 Project intentionally violated that process by leaking it to the press. //
“Democrats are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on litigation to try to affect elections,” Marks said. “Republicans should raise money to create a legal defense fund to defend lawyers who are falsely accused like this. And to counterattack by filing defamation and abuse of process claims.”
