A #conservative lawyer working on #DonaldTrump’s transition, #MarkPaoletta, offered a stark warning to career #JusticeDepartment lawyers Monday that those who refuse to advance #Trump’s agenda should resign or face the possibility of being fired.

“Once the decision is made to move forward, career employees are required to implement the President’s plan”

#Trump’s team has zeroed in on some candidates for other roles after vetting thousands of names & seeking to ensure they are #loyal to Trump.

#MarkPaoletta, who served as general counsel in the OMB in Trump’s first term, is a contender to become #US #AttorneyGeneral…. #Paoletta was responsible for some of the Trump admin’s most controversial moves, including a delay in security assistance to #Ukraine that triggered Trump’s first #impeachment.

#MarkPaoletta penned other pieces defending #ClarenceThomas including one in which he called #AnitaHill a liar.

WaPo revealed that #LeonardLeo steered at least $1.8M into a PR & online astroturf campaign to attack a 2016 HBO film about the Clarence Thomas’ nomination. #Paoletta was the face of the campaign & was paid $300k by Leo’s Judicial Education Project….

When asked, Paoletta confirmed, “my good friend Leonard Leo’s group provided funding for this work,” including the Thomas film.

In 2022, for example, the Federalist, a far right-wing blog site funded by Dick Uihlein, published a piece by #MarkPaoletta attacking an investigation by Jane Mayer in the New Yorker about #GinniThomas’ close ties to right-wing groups, including some that file briefs with the #SCOTUS.

One of the most aggressive defenders of #SCOTUS Justice #ClarenceThomas is #MarkPaoletta. He has assailed Senators & reporters who raise concerns about the serious #ethical issues raised by the actions of Thomas & his wife, #GinniThomas.

Possible #Trump US #AttorneyGeneral pick: #MarkPaoletta

Paoletta is spreader of #ConspiracyTheories: he claimed the legal cases against Trump were fabricated. The world witnessed #Jan6, the #ClassifiedDocuments case is undeniable, Trump was convicted of 34 #felonies in NY by a jury, was found liable for #defamation & #SexualAbuse & the judge minced no words in his opinion about the fact that Trump #raped #EJeanCarroll, & Trump & TrumpOrg were found liable for committing decades of #fraud.
