The latest episode in President Trump’s ongoing saga of cleaning house within the swamp reveals yet another significant move: the suspension of security clearances for individuals at the law firm Perkins Coie LLP. This law firm finds itself at the heart of the controversy surrounding the discredited Steele dossier, which was an ineffectual attempt by Hillary Clinton and the Democrats to derail Trump’s presidency. The former president’s actions against these individuals are a welcomed purging of those who have long attempted to undermine not only his presidency but also the very fabric of American democracy.
Previously, Trump initiated a much-needed spring cleaning by pulling the security clearances from 51 “spies who lied” about the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, clearly signaling that accountability is back in style. Following this purge, high-profile names such as former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley also found themselves on the receiving end of Trump’s sweeping retribution. Those who danced on the political grave of Trump’s administration under the guise of legality are now being forced to reckon with their actions, an outcome that is long overdue.
Perkins Coie, notorious for its affiliation with the 2016 Clinton campaign, has garnered particular scrutiny. The firm’s connections to the fabrication of the Steele dossier—a document so incredibly flawed it couldn’t withstand even basic scrutiny—have now led to their lawyers facing suspension of their security clearances. The dossier, which was used as a flimsy excuse to launch investigations into Trump’s campaign, turned out to be nothing more than a desperate politically charged smear, and it is only fitting that those involved now face the consequences.
Furthermore, the firm’s history of enlisting the help of radical figures like George Soros to influence American law through lawsuits against voter ID laws—critical legislation in maintaining election integrity—only solidifies the argument that Perkins Coie should be stripped of its privileges. The political machinations of this firm have caused irreparable damage to public trust, leading even the court system to sanction their attorneys for unethical behavior. The time has come for a serious reevaluation of their role within national security.
Why would an outside law firm have clearance anyway?

While the Democrats have spent years hurling accusations and attempts to politically assassinate Trump, they seem oblivious to the fact that their actions often come back to haunt them. The firing of James Dennehy, the head of the FBI’s New York office, serves as an amusing case in point. His departure was marked by an emotional farewell, complete with bagpipes, a theatrical conclusion to his tenure that underscores the dysfunction in parts of the FBI—a sentiment that many Americans share.
Each twist in this ongoing saga reveals the exhausting lengths Democrats have gone to smear Trump, only for those efforts to culminate in a backlash that benefits him. Americans tuned into the political drama are witnessing a transformation led by Trump, who, against all odds, continues to be a formidable figure in American politics. The left’s constant attacks only serve to bolster Trump’s position, making the case that as he takes the reins of power back, the true “purge” may just be a cleansing of deeply embedded political corruption.
