In this episode of "The Purge Continues"...

It's undeniable that a purge is underway by President Donald Trump — which I support — of former federal government officials and employees, and those in the private sector who appeared to do their damnedest to destroy the then-former president.

As my colleague Susie Moore reported on February 25, Trump "yanked the security clearances from the 51 'spies who lied' about the Hunter Biden laptop." Next up came former United States Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, then former President Joe Biden, and then the law firm and lawyers who assisted then-special counsel Jack Smith in his lawfare investigations of Trump.

Now, Trump has ordered the suspension of any active security clearances held by lawyers at the law firm that assisted Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign in funding the debunked and anti-Trump Steele dossier.

As you might recall, Hillary and the Democrats histrionically claimed the Trump campaign "colluded" with Russia in the 2016 presidential election against the Clinton campaign when, in the end, it was revealed that it was Hillary herself who colluded — in a losing effort to destroy Trump's campaign. Yep, Democrats do the darnedest things. 

Trump’s order directed the pulling of security clearances from the notorious law firm Perkins Coie LLP, limited the hiring of lawyers from the firm, and placed other limitations on the firm’s access to classified information. 

Here's more:

Marc Elias, a former Perkins Coie lawyer who served as general counsel for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, played a key role in the funding and spreading British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s discredited anti-Trump dossier, which was used to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants against a former member of the Trump campaign.

Then-FBI Director James Comey also fought to include information from Steele’s dossier in the January 2017 intelligence community assessment on alleged Russian election meddling. Comey also briefed then-President-elect Trump about the dossier’s most salacious allegations during a meeting at Trump Tower in January 2017.

An investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller “did not establish” any criminal Trump-Russia collusion. DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz found huge flaws with the FBI’s investigation, criticizing the “central and essential” role of the dossier in the FBI’s politicized FISA surveillance of former Trump campaign associate Carter Page.

Trump said in his executive order:

The dishonest and dangerous activity of the law firm Perkins Coie LLP has affected this country for decades. Notably, in 2016 while representing failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS, which then manufactured a false ‘dossier’ designed to steal an election.

[...]

Perkins Coie has worked with activist donors including George Soros to judicially overturn popular, necessary, and democratically enacted election laws, including those requiring voter identification. In one such case, a court was forced to sanction Perkins Coie attorneys for an unethical lack of candor before the court.

[...]

[National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard] shall immediately take steps … to suspend any active security clearances held by individuals at Perkins Coie, pending a review of whether such clearances are consistent with the national interest.

Trump was proved right, while Hillary suffered yet another loss.

Meanwhile, James Dennehy, head of the FBI's New York office, was "marched out of his office for the last time after being forced to resign earlier this week. And in a sign that he truly values his self-worth, he did so with a cheering escort, crying-eyed colleagues, and a man playing the bagpipes."

Ironic, isn't it, how everything the Democrats throw at Trump boomerangs and come back to hit them?

From the efforts of Hillary's 2016 presidential campaign to the multiple lawfare efforts to bring down Trump to even Trump's stint serving french fries at a McDonald's drive-thru and arriving in a garbage truck at a campaign rally, America's 47th president has been invincible against the TDS-riddled left.

President Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress has radical Democrats in panic mode, and their childish protests won't stop all of the winning.
