Big homophobe. Interestingly, her first husband was gay. Her second husband was convicted of five counts of felony fraud. When that happened, she was convinced the government overreached (you know, because the government should have allowed him to defraud people). Shes a Former liberal Dem who fought for the ERA, now a right wing bigot trying to help Rump kill our democracy. What a witch.

(51,562 posts)She must have some issues and problems that we are not aware of yet but I sincerely believe she was a so-so Dem at best. We DO NOT want her support...EVER!

Basically, they said she went crazy. People break, it's never pretty but it does happen.

Of course Im talking about Foley & Lardner partner Cleta Mitchells participation in Donald Trumps harassing of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to just find 11,780 votes. It seems that the never-Trump PAC The Lincoln Project has turned their attention to Biglaw over the incident.

There are already murmurs of Foley losing business over Mitchells involvement in the debacle, and tweets like these from The Lincoln Project only ups the pressure.
And they arent the only PAC paying attention to Biglaw. MeidasTouch remember they are the ones that actually drew first blood in the campaign against Jones Day has turned their attention to Foley & Lardner. One the the PACs founders, Ben Meiselas, partner at Geragos & Geragos, has been very vocal about the firms involvement, specifically when Foley attorney Jason Villalba tweeted (though hes since deleted it) about the now infamous phone call without condemning Mitchells involvement.
