I'm assuming that they're running so that they don't get disbarred.

douglindner.bsky.social•4 days ago

Or for the power to harass lawyers who defy the regime, as in the recent executive orders targeting law firms

chattwjonathan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yep, you're right. It's the power. It's always the power with these people.

I'm assuming Amanda Molina is the Martin acolyte in the Treasurer race?

douglindner.bsky.social•4 days ago

Alicia Long is Martin's deputy

adamvann.bsky.social•4 days ago

Whoa! You/ the candidate should definitely clarify, bc I read their statements on the site (which I can no longer find) and assumed the opposite based on what they said and where they work

adamvann.bsky.social•4 days ago

(I read "deputy" as "longtime assistant" instead of "fellow DOJ employee")

I predict that when Brad Bondi and Alicia Long lose - badly - the DoJ will announce an investigation into election fraud in the bar.

@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social has a lot of info/coverage on these guys, Martin in particular, I haven't seen reported elsewhere

👋🏻👋🏻 I keep trying to put the bar thing in my Martin stories but it gets cut for space.

This is not a normal DC bar election. It sounds like to me. Lawyers, please vote and not for these people more corruption, more corruption, more corruption.

coconutlizard.bsky.social•3 days ago

We need everyone to stop this. If you know people who vote for DC bar please contact them! I emailed the bar and told them no bondi!

douglindner.bsky.social•4 days ago

Voting will be open to DC-licensed lawyers from April 15 to June 4. Don't let Trump DOJ allies take over the DC Bar.

Bradley J. Bondi is Pam Bondi's brother
Alicia M. Long is Ed Martin's deputy

Looking forward to voting 🗳️ for @whatajlp.bsky.social !

douglindner.bsky.social•4 days ago

There are other DC Bar offices up in this election, including five seats on the DC Bar Board of Governors.

I haven't done the homework on other candidates yet but encourage DC lawyers to choose carefully and get those votes in by June 4th.

Please fucking crush these people into a fine paste.
