Democrat Election Lawyer, Russia Hoaxer Marc Elias Leaves Perkins Coie Ahead of Durham Report

Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias, a key figure in the "Russia collusion" hoax, has parted ways with the Perkins Coie law firm, ahead of the anticipated release of Special Counsel John Durham's report into the origins of the Russia inquiry.

Elias led Democrats' efforts to change the voting rules in the 2020 presidential election, and also spearheaded efforts to overturn election results in close congressional races - including a New York race where he questioned voting machines.

In 2016, Elias was the attorney at Perkins Coie who arranged for the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to hire the Fusion GPS opposition research firm - a fact hidden in federal election filings.

Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to conduct the research.

In an announcement Sunday, Elias did not mention the Durham investigation, but said that he was leaving Perkins Coie with "Eleven partners and three counsel" to form his own new election law firm, Elias Law Group LLP. Some personal news.

Perkins Coie - noted for its long history of representing Democrats - will continue its "Corporate political activities" practice, Elias's release said.

Constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley, who has followed Elias closely, called his departure significant Sunday, as it came "Before the release of the John Durham report." It is not yet clear whether that report will be made public.
