Is Sidney Powell Secretly Funding the Oath Keepers' Lawyers? The Feds Want to Know.
[Daily Beast] Federal prosecutors in the nation’s capital are trying to drag several lawyers representing indicted Oath Keepers before a judge to make them explain how exactly they’re getting paid, citing a concern that conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell is actually covering the legal tab.
And...so? Is that illegal? Is it even unseemly? They should be told to pound sand
On Wednesday, the Department of Justice asked a federal judge to intervene to ensure that members of the armed, anti-government paramilitary group have "competent and conflict-free" attorneys.

They cited recent reports in Mother Jones and BuzzFeed News that laid out how Powell’s political group, Defending the Republic, has quietly funded several defense lawyers.

#1 Powell is simply a conduit. The funding is actually coming from secret Trump-Putin Swiss accounts.

#3 Meanwhile, the avowed communist "National Lawyers Guild" hands out business cards at riots. They provide "free" -- paid by unknown sources -- representation for violent leftists all the time.

#7 DOJ was arresting anyone who supports the Right. This week Deep State began raiding homes of right wing politicians who claim Biden's election was fraudulent. Desperation on the Left.
