Starting a second project > Trump's election lawyers & their clients

NEW:@ProjectLincoln is launching a TV and social media campaign targeting @JonesDay for any role it plays in enabling Trump's efforts to overturn the election, I'm told.

Jones Day clients will also be targets, @TheRickWilson tells me. New details here:https://t.co/ugh4Rhqr5u

Here they are targeting Jones Day employees with links to Linked In! Rough stuff:

Employees of @JonesDay & @PorterWright, do you believe your law firms should be attempting to overturn the will of the American people?https://t.co/Q3NR5xM4tj https://t.co/65DOcAUHYb

Lincoln Project Locked Out of Twitter Account for Targeting Trump’s Election Fraud Attorneys

ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR

By Rachel Olding , Breaking News Editor & Adam Rawnsley @ DailyBeast.com,Updated Nov. 10, 2020 6:01PM ET / Published Nov. 10, 2020 3:24PM ET

The Lincoln Project was locked out of its Twitter account Tuesday for sharing the phone numbers and email addresses of two attorneys helping the Trump campaign challenge election results in Pennsylvania. The PAC, started by former Republicans, tweeted the details of Ronald Hicks and Carolyn McGree, from Porter Wright Morris & Arthur, and added, “Make them famous.” ‍But the tweet violated rules on abusive behavior, which include encouraging harassment, the social media company said. “The account owner will be required to delete the violative Tweet before regaining access to their account,” a spokesperson said.

At least one lawyer at Porter Wright Morris & Arthur has quit in protest of the firm’s decision to file four lawsuits challenging aspects of the election in Pennsylvania. The Lincoln Project has vowed to spend $500,000 to “target” Porter Wright Morris & Arthur and another firm, Jones Day, for representing Trump and the GOP in their voter fraud pursuit. The tweet was deleted later Tuesday but Kurt Bardella, senior adviser for The Lincoln Project said, “The information that was posted came directly from Donald Trump’s own website and press release. Who knew that posting information that was put into the public domain by Donald Trump violated Twitter’s rules?” [....]

retweeted this:

— The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) November 11, 2020

Donald Trump's encouragement of harrassment of American democracy is undemocratic, potentially dangerous, and counterproductive. Whatever you think of the Administration's legal arguments, targeting the sanctity of our elections is immoral & ineffective. https://t.co/b51wTDs21o

That’s because there are no signatures to check with the ballots in this audit...

Once the absentees (1.3M of ~5M) were accepted (signatures matched) and processed, aka removed from the envelopes, the ballots can’t be tracked back to a person! https://t.co/6V2d4avCWi pic.twitter.com/k6OXJptmC6

doing a very serious hit on Jvanka with a twitter thread, zero humor involved:

.@IvankaTrump & Kushner have been the subject of many stories like this one by @NYTLiz. They deserve no sympathy, and no easy return to society, polite or otherwise. They took from the American people - from the moment they arrived at the White House. https://t.co/OfdUlb6XMQ 1/
— Reed Galen (@reedgalen) November 25, 2020

The families and friends of 250,000 Americans - millions of people - suffer because of Kushner’s inability to recognize his own incompetence, a desire to retain power and punish political opponents. He’s the banality of evil incarnate...2/

Both Jared and Ivanka are exemplars of dilettantism. They’re the spoiled children of reprobates who achieved little to nothing of their own accord and rose to the highest posts in the land only on the back of nepotism. Cloistered in the WH, they used the levers of government...3/
— Reed Galen (@reedgalen) November 25, 2020

To enrich themselves and place themselves in the middle of events they neither understood, nor had any training for. Their ethos: might makes right. Who knows what they’ve done that we may never learn about...4/
— Reed Galen (@reedgalen) November 25, 2020

Kushner’s briefcase is probably full of national security gold, that he’ll trade for to out whatever sub-par business venture he comes up with next. Ivanka probably stares at the Magic Mirror and asks why no one understands her...5/

When they’re gone, we should make their worst nightmares come true: They should be ignored by Americans, city and country, rich and poor. They should live out their days in exile at their “cottage” at Bedminster. They deserve nothing less. 6/x

Yeah but the firing squad is so old and cliched. Republicans are always so traditional and uncreative. I'm for bringing back lynching, but not extrajudicial and not just for black folks. If you're sentenced to death the court releases you and it's up to the local community to form a gang, drag you out of your home some night, and hang you from a tree. Exciting for the participants and terrifying for the lynchee which would make it a good deterrent to criminal behavior.
