As Shakespeare might say:
"First, Kill all the Bullies"
Because he wrote so much, Shakespeare can be quoted like Ben Franklin: for any topic and with cleverness.
But did you know: Shakespeare was not hating on lawyers in his famous quote on killing lawyers?
No, Shakespeare was actually doing the opposite: he valued lawyers (and the law) as a key to good society.
Here’s What You Need to Know (WYNK):
In Act IV, Scene II of William Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Part II, there is a truly bad dude, the gangster hit man Dick the Butcher. Dick is the righthand to Cade, an insurrectionist who is trying to take down the king. The two are scheming to cause mayhem. They know that the good forces in society will stop him if they can.
That’s when Dick the Butcher says: The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.

What Shakespeare knew - and we know now - is that society only holds together if we have certain rules.
(It starts with the rule of God, to be clear. Longer discussion on this later.)
For living and thriving together in this great nation of America, we rely on a rule of law and a system for protecting ourselves from the bullies of the world: government, individuals, domestic, or foreign bullies.
If you eliminate the rule of law (and the lawyers), then lawlessness and mobsters like Cade or Joe Biden take over and rule.
“First, kill all the lawyers” is fun to say - we all hate a lawyer or ten. But it’s destroying America right now.

Which brings us to the ongoing “trial” of super smart lawyer Jeff Clark (Harvard, Georgetown) who served in George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump administrations.
Clark is being “tried” by the District of Columbia Bar and they are trying to take his license to practice law from him. (This would “kill” his legal career.)
His “crime” was giving legal options to his client - the President - and being opposed to the current legal regime (“Must hate Trump!”). Clark has been forced to pay for lawyers to fight this effort. He is in limbo for his work life.
This is a concerted effort by the Left and Joe Biden to gut our rule of law.

Who brought this charge against Clark? A group of anti-Trump lawyers who have systematically targeted former Trump allies.
But what did Clark allegedly do? His great crime was asking questions about the 2020 election … as a lawyer, his JOB was to ask questions and to probe what happened. Today, we know more and more about how much was problematic about the election of 2020. What could possible be wrong with asking questions?
I can’t read their minds but my experience tells me that when powerful forces who aligned against someone like Jeff Clark and demand silence, they remind me of another Shakespeare quote:
“Thou doth protest too much.” - Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 2.

We need to fight these traitors who are trying to end our America. Some of them are lawyers but all of them are bullies.
