Several people have asked about a motive for the DNC to sever ties with long-time lead lawfare litigant Marc Elias. [Story Here]
Remember, Elias proactively departed from Perkins Coie to carry out independent contractor operations and draw distance during his defense from indictment by John Durham. Elias left Perkins Coie because the Elias’s relationship with the FBI was enmeshed within the Durham probe. Perkins Coie needed to retain the FBI relationship, while it was in their best interest for the FBI silo to distance from the Elias litigation.
Marc Elias then went on to continue being lead lawfare for the Clinton elements of the DNC, while former AG Eric Holder is lead lawfare for the Obama elements of the DNC. This internecine relationship inside the DNC club is important to remember. There are two factions in the DNC, the Clinton aligned subset, less power, and the Obama aligned subset, more power.
Outside the club the downstream community organizations are similarly aligned. We have the African Methodist Episcopal church (AME) and the similarly motivated Black Lives Matter network. Then there’s the organized labor network consisting of the SEIU, AFSCME, AFL-CIO and UFCW. Both networks provide foot soldiers and opportunity leadership for the DNC objectives. There is always crossover, but Team Clinton and Team Obama are separate groups.
Barack Obama organized the merger between AME/BLM (James Clyburn) with Big Labor communists for 2020. That was the baseline for Obama/Clyburn picking Joe Biden to maintain Obama’s 3rd term interests and instruct all the other candidates to fall in line until they could get rid of Bernie Sanders.
