President Donald Trump has ordered the suspension of security clearances for employees at Perkins Coie, the shady Dem superfirm whose lawyers played a key role in setting up the Steele Dossier and undermining the results of the 2016 election.

This is long overdue, as is the termination of federal contracts with the firm. 

A quick recap: Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign hired Perkins Coie(sending it close to $10 million), using it as a cutout in violation of federal election law to pay “intelligence” firm Fusion GPS to generate and publicize false allegations against her rival Trump. 

Fusion subcontracted out the work of assembling that “dossier,” including insane claims that Trump was a Russian asset, to British ex-spy Christopher Steele and a “researcher” who literally made everything up while gossiping with friends.

Trump-haters in the American intel community and Justice Department then used this garbage to justify probes of Trump, with allegations fed anonymously to our disinformation-loving leftist media, who duly trumpeted it to create a Trump-crippling Washington frenzy.

Everyone involved, including Clinton, belongs in prison: This was an attempted coup, albeit a bloodless one. 

It failed to remove the sitting president, but it did massively hamper his agenda during his first term. 

And Perkins Coie has no business being anywhere near government info that requires any type of clearance to access.

The firm opted to be a key cog in the extra-governmental power structure the left relies on to achieve its political goals (because it has so much trouble convincing Americans to actually vote for them). 

It’s yet another reminder of how the powerful spent most of the past decade conspiring against the people — and why Trump’s whole-of-government effort to reform the FBI and fight back against the wider intelligence community are justified and necessary.
