The press identified thirteen of the seventeen attorneys as either being registered to vote as Democrats or making contributions to Democratic candidates.

Beautiful Hillary. Such a beautiful woman.
'Florida was doing GREAT long before Ron DeSanctus got there,' Trump said in a post on his Truth Social site on Tuesday.
And now that "Meatball Ron" has become his leading moniker for Ron DeSantis, Trump might have landed on another keeper.
'I call him Little Ben Sasse,' Trump said. 'I have to do it, I'm sorry. That's when my religion always deserts me.'
To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle', not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle' Adam Schiff.
'This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!' Trump said in a series of tweets.
Little @MacMiller sent me an expensive plaque for making his song "Donald Trump" such a big hit.
Low ratings CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word little wrong. A small but never ending situation with CNN!
'MSDNC isn't here as well,' Trump quipped
'The actual conspiracy to defraud the United States was the Democrats rigging the Election, and the Fake News Media and the Unselect Committee covering it up,' he said.
