Want to see some of the OUTRAGEOUS things a senior assistant DC Bar Counsel tweeted WHILE prosecuting @JeffClarkUS? Read my latest in @DailySignal laying out the troubling X/Bluesky habits of Jack Metzler. dailysignal.com/2026/05/13/dc-…
I asked Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano why it took a congressional hearing for him to finally apologized to angel mom Cheryl Minter.
🚨JUST FILED🚨 The DOJ is suing the DC Bar Association for targeting former Trump official Jeff Clark. The DOJ calls out the Bar for, “ Weaponizing state bar discipline against Executive Branch attorneys in this way chills them from giving candid legal advice to others in the Executive Branch, including the President and Attorney General. To permit these proceedings is to allow state bar authorities to control the Executive Branch. That is not the law.” The DC bar claims @JeffClarkUS drafted a letter that detailed significant election irregularities in Georgia and other states after the 2020 election. That letter was NOT sent. The DOJ’s lawsuit goes on to add, “ D.C. disciplinary authorities have no authority to impede, obstruct, and punish a Federal Executive Branch official for drafting and advocating for the dissemination of a pre- decisional and deliberative draft document, not to mention other privileged Executive Branch deliberations.”
Justice Department Files Complaint Against D.C. Bar Disciplinary Authorities Over Their Weaponization of the Bar Disciplinary Process Against Federal Government Attorneys The filing advances President Trump’s Executive Order Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government and Presidential Memorandum on Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Courts. "As our complaint and history make clear, the DC Bar has long acted as a blatantly partisan arm of leftist causes. No more,” said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…
Heated exchange between Rep. Jordan and Fairfax Attorney Descano over Descano's campaign promise to take immigration status into account during criminal proceedings. Descano: "That's not my policy...that is a campaign statement!" Jordan: "When you make campaign statements, those aren't true? You're not being honest with your voters?"
Brutal exchange for Descano here. Jordan pins him down on his website saying for years that he will consider immigration status when making prosecutorial decisions, then suddenly being deleted weeks before the hearing. Descano says anyone who thought his campaign rhetoric would actually be his policy is "obtuse". @NickMinock reports there were gasps from Descant's supporters when he said this.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 DOJ’s @ASGWoodward has SUED DC Bar Association officials for politically targeting Jeff Clark. This is BIG. Great work by Stanley Woodward and well deserved support for our friend. No more targeting Trump lawyers just because you don’t like their politics!!
