Chuck Darwin<p>‘Grifters and sycophants’: the radicals who would fill key posts if Trump is re-elected</p><p>“They’re trying to find lawyers who believe in dictatorship. You have to wonder what kind of people in good conscience could sign up for a Trump revenge tour. This appears to be a casting call for an American political horror movie.”</p><p>👉If Trump wins, some of the lawyers who may be candidates for key posts according to the New York Times include a few who work at either ♦️Stephen Miller’s group "America First Legal" or have worked for ♦️Texas’s attorney general, Ken Paxton, a close Trump and Miller ally who has faced several ethics and criminal inquiries.</p><p>Miller’s lawyer search could benefit from his group’s contacts in Maga circles and rapid growth. </p><p>When America First Legal was launched in 2021, it soon garnered $1.3m from the Maga-allied ♦️Conservative Partnership Institute♦️, where Trump’s ex-chief of staff Mark Meadows is a senior official. <br>👉Meadows and Vought have both served on the board of Miller’s group.</p><p>America First Legal’s deep pockets have helped fund an array of lawsuits against the Biden administration, states targeting immigration policies and what Miller has labeled “the equity cult”. </p><p>Just last month, America First Legal filed a brief opposing the limited gag order placed on Trump by a federal judge overseeing special counsel Jack Smith’s four-count criminal indictment of Trump for election subversion.</p><p>More broadly, the mission statement of Miller’s America First Legal reveals its ideological compatibility with Trump’s authoritarian-leaning agenda, of which hard-right lawyers would be assets in implementing should Trump get another term.</p><p>“Our security, our liberty, our sovereignty, and our most fundamental rights and values are being systematically dismantled by an unholy alliance of corrupt special interests, big tech titans, the fake news media, and liberal Washington politicians,” the mission statement reads.</p><p>Given Miller’s strong ties to Trump, some GOP congressional veterans are alarmed by his search for more ideological lawyers who would not question Trump’s emerging authoritarian agenda.</p><p>“They’re looking for grifters and sycophants like Jeffrey Clark and Ken Paxton,” said the former House member Charlie Dent.<br>In Dent’s eyes, these kinds of lawyers would “do whatever they’re told. This is absolutely dangerous.”</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/americafirstlegal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>americafirstlegal</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/project2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>project2024</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/conservativepartnershipinstitute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservativepartnershipinstitute</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/cpi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cpi</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/miller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>miller</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/meadows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>meadows</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/voight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>voight</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/paxton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paxton</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/authoritarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authoritarian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/dictatorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dictatorship</span></a></p><p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/08/trump-second-term-lawyers-stephen-miller?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2023/d</span><span class="invisible">ec/08/trump-second-term-lawyers-stephen-miller?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</span></a></p>
