[LetMyPeopleVote]

I was part of the Clinton Victory Counsel program and we had weekly calls with Marc. This is a great move

Above the Law’s 2020 Lawyer of the Year Marc Elias is leaving Perkins Coie after 28 years to start his own firm focusing on preserving democracy in the United States. I don’t know if this counts as a lateral move, but it looks like some folks would have rather he’d maintained billables at his former firm and chain.

It’s not surprising considering Elias’s laundry list of accolades, including but not limited to representing:

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee;
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee;
National Democratic Redistricting Committee;
Priorities USA;
Senate Majority PAC; and
Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign in 2020.

According to Bloomberg Law, Elias isn’t spinning off alone:

Elias is taking 13 lawyers, including 10 partners, with him from Perkins Coie, according to a statement released by the massive law firm Sunday. The move will allow the new Elias Law Group to “engage more directly in the political and electoral process,” Perkins Coie said in the statement.

5. Marc's firm scanned and put on a database 6000+ lawsuits involving TFG and his companies and family

I was part of the Clinton Victory Counsel program where we reviewed 6000+ lawsuits involving TFG, his family and companies. The DNC has this research https://politicalwire.com/2019/09/08/inside-democrats-2020-trump-war-room/

“The DNC research team has mined thousands of lawsuits from nearly 50 states as part of a massive new trove on President Trump that will be weaponized through pols and reporters in key battlegrounds,” Axios reports.

“This new plan shows what Democrats think Trump’s biggest vulnerabilities will be. And unlike in 2016, Trump now has a policy record.”

“The research includes roughly 7,000 lawsuits, as well an extensive document detailing every time then-candidate Trump told supporters at his 2016 campaign rallies that Mexico would pay for the wall.”

“A source familiar said this document will likely find its way to local reporters, groups and Democrats in battleground states as Trump diverts funds from the military to pay for his border wall.”

TFG is a dead beat
