Swamp Creatures TERRIFIED

Searches for “criminal defense attorney” have skyrocketed in Washington, D.C. over the past couple of weeks. 

As in a 500% increase since Donald Trump was inaugurated.

This corresponds with the ramping up of DOGE. As you can see from the Google Trends chart, the searches began in late January as it became clear that the DOGEs would be rampaging through the bureaucracy identifying all the waste, fraud, and plainly illegal double dealing going on. 

PANIC IN DC IS REAL , palpable and loud ! President Trump’s Counselor, Alina Habba points out the obvious :

“Why are they getting upset? Because we’re taking money out of their pockets…

The bureaucrats thought they could outmaneuver Donald Trump this time around. Politicians come and go; the federal bureaucracy is as large and impenetrable as the Iraqi Republican Guard appeared to be before Norman Schwartzkopf destroyed them in 100 hours, and the Baghdad Bobs in the Pravda Media thought they could keep up appearances. 

Not this time. By the time the transnational elite woke up to the danger, the tanks were already doing a thunder run through the city.

Trump was supposed to be an inconvenience. A speed bump on the road to NetZero Nirvana. Instead, they now see him and Elon Musk as existential threats to whom they might actually lose it all. 

Hence the criminal defense attorneys. 

There were reports yesterday that more people google searched for “defense attorney” in the D.C. area than anywhere else in America.

Hiring a lawyer is by no means an admission of guilt, but it sure suggests mens rea–an awareness of guilt and legal liability on the part of a whole heck of a lot of people. 

$2.3 trillion in fraudulent payments was found by @DOGE… Is it any wonder why the search for criminal defense attorneys in Washington D.C. is more then 3 times that of the rest of the US?

No question that a lot of the awful things done in Washington, D.C. are perfectly legal, but even low-end estimates by the GAO show over $250 billion a year in fraud, and the CEO of Lexis-Nexis Government Risk Management estimates that a trillion dollars goes out the door fraudulently in just the entitlement programs.

Add in all the people who have perjured themselves, embezzled, feathered their nests through sliding money to organizations they made a deal with, and all the likely shady deals that are a fact of life in DC and a lot of people are at great risk. 

The term “racketeering” comes to mind. I hear Nathan Wade in Atlanta has plenty of experience in RICO cases and is currently out of work. Maybe he will represent some of these people. 

I may just be possible, I suppose, that DC street thugs just discovered that they didn’t have to work with public defenders, but that seems pretty unlikely. Look at that graph. Those aren’t street-level drug dealers suddenly flocking to Google to find a cheap defense attorney. 

Those are swamp dwellers. 

The New York Times may think that there is no evidence for waste or fraud in the government, but the rest of us know better. 

People are going to jail.
