The subpoenas – authorized hours before Biden’s first State of the Union address – targeted documents and testimony from Cleta Mitchell, Kurt Olsen, Katherine Freiss, Phillip Kline, Kenneth Chesebro and the pro-Trump One America News host Christina Bobb.

“The select committee is seeking information about attempts to disrupt or delay the certification of electoral votes and any efforts to corruptly change the outcome of the 2020 election,” said Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the panel.

“The six individuals we’ve subpoenaed today all have knowledge related to those matters and will help the select committee better understand all the various strategies employed to potentially affect the outcome of the election,” Thompson said.

The subpoenas reflect the panel’s focus on Trump’s schemes to stop Biden’s certification ...........

Despite suspension of law license, former Kansas AG Phill Kline helping out in anti-Biden election lawsuits

DEC 1, 2020 - 5:05PM
TIM CARPENTER, KANSAS REFLECTOR

. . .

Many Kansans remember Kline as a polarizing political figure, whether he was serving as a Republican state representative, the state’s attorney general or Johnson County’s district attorney.

Kline’s desire to investigate and prosecute abortion providers was so fervent that he was found by a state disciplinary panel to have engaged in a pattern of unethical conduct, including presenting false testimony and illegally acquiring medical records of women planning abortions.

In the end, the Kansas Supreme Court determined there was “clear and convincing evidence” to require indefinite suspension of Kline’s law license in 2013.

Here is what the state Supreme Court said: “Ultimately, we unanimously conclude the weight of the aggravating factors — i.e., Kline’s inability or refusal to acknowledge the line between overzealous advocacy and operating within the bounds of the law and his professional obligations; his selfish motives; and his lengthy and substantial pattern of misconduct — weigh more heavily than the mitigating factors and merit his indefinite suspension.”

He lost his license after allegations of misconduct surfaced against him, which he disputed. He’s now director of a conservative legal organization known as the Amistad Project.

3. He Lost His Law License After Being Accused of Unethical Conduct When Prosecuting Abortion Providers

. . .

Talking Points Memo reported that Kline had been accused of having staff record women’s license plates as they entered an abortion clinic, obtaining records at motels where they stayed, and obtaining medical files. Kline’s attorney disagreed with the conclusions, telling The Kansas City Star that the state Supreme Court was “cherry picking” evidence. Thomas Condit said: “There was never any deliberate dishonesty on Mr. Kline’s part… This is not an acceptable result.”
