Bar Bust

Fighting back against lawfare:

The America First complaint seizes on evidence that then-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), a member of the January 6 Committee, communicated with anti-Trump witness Cassidy Hutchinson without her attorney, Stefan Passantino, present. Media outlets reported — falsely — at the time that Passantino had coached Hutchinson to lie to the panel. Passantino is suing MSNBC analyst Andrew Weissman for defamation for repeating that claim nearly a year later. The 65 Project filed a bar complaint against Passantino in early 2023, signed by Teter, who filed “nearly 100 ethics complaints against lawyers aligned with President Trump, signing them all himself,” America First Legal notes. But Teter had no personal knowledge of the accusations against Passantino, “which have now been proven false by the work of the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight,” America First Legal adds.

Fake lawyers, fake claims...
