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.

#MarkPaoletta is also a friend of #ClarenceThomas & was #GinniThomas’ lawyer when she was supposed to testify to the #Jan6 panel.

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.
#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.
@Nonilex To quote Louis in “Casablanca,” I’m shocked…shocked!
