President Trump has taken a bold stand against the notorious Perkins Coie law firm, a firm synonymous with scandal and the infamous Steele Dossier linked to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. In a decisive executive order, Trump has suspended the security clearances of lawyers working there, a fitting move given their role in a dubious dossier meant to sabotage his presidency before it even began.
Perkins Coie is not just any law firm; it’s a political powerhouse known for throwing around donations like confetti at a parade. When playing footsie with the Clinton campaign, they forked over cash to support the Steele Dossier’s development, a dubious document riddled with falsehoods aimed at knocking Trump out of the ring. Trump has emphasized the dangerous implications of allowing individuals at this firm continued access to classified information, effectively stating that the law firm has long operated counter to the interests of the nation.
Marc Elias, a key player in the Perkins Coie playbook, was instrumental in spreading the dossier’s balderdash. He shifted from aiding Clinton’s campaign to heading the legal efforts for former Vice President Kamala Harris’s dismal 2020 run, proving that some tiers of the Democratic establishment never really retire but instead hop from one protected seat to another. This latest order by Trump specifically targets Perkins Coie’s entanglements, ordering that their security clearances be yanked and their hiring practices scrutinized, potentially clipping the wings of a firm that has benefitted from deep political connections.

Furthermore, Trump is wagging his finger at the ethical lapses associated with Perkins Coie, noting their collaboration with big-name donors like George Soros to overturn vital election laws. The firm has faced sanctions for unethical behavior, reinforcing the notion that they operate outside the bounds of normal legal practices to push a radical agenda. Under Trump’s directive, government agencies must distance themselves from this legal outfit and disclose any business ties they may have, signaling that taxpayer money will no longer prop up the machinations of law firms that prioritize partisanship over national security.
As the political chess game continues, Trump’s actions represent more than just a simple suspension; they highlight a broader call to reevaluate how legal dealings intersect with government operations, especially when those dealings involve a law firm with such a checkered history. This executive order aims to tighten the screws on Perkins Coie, signaling that the days of careless government contracts funding anti-democratic agendas are numbered. Once again, Trump demonstrates that he’s not just a fighter; he’s here to clean house, one security clearance at a time.
