A leftist nonprofit called the 65 Project will spend millions this year trying to expose and disbar more than 100 lawyers who worked on former President Donald Trump's election lawsuits. The goal is to prevent conservative attorneys from challenging election results in the future, including the upcoming 2022 midterms.
David Brock, the founder of Media Matters for America and a key fundraiser for the Democratic Party, is an adviser to the 65 Project
- The goal is to "not only bring the grievances in the bar complaints to light, but shame them and make them toxic in their communities and in their firms."
The 65 Project’s Ethics Complaint
- Linda Kerns is one of nine Pennsylvania attorneys who were targeted by the 65 Project last week.
- In a 15-page ethics complaint filed with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the leftist group accused Kerns of engaging in "fraudulent and malicious efforts to overturn legitimate elections," and concluded that the only way to "deter future efforts to undermine elections through frivolous litigation" is for the Office of Disciplinary Counsel to suspend or remove Kerns’ law license.
- While nothing will likely come of the complaint, Kerns worries that the other lawyers targeted will be hurt financially.
