Liz Oyer, fmr #DOJ #pardon atty, was fired after she wouldn’t recommend restoring gun rights to #MelGibson
“Mel Gibson has a history of #DomesticViolence, & I’m well aware from my experience & training that it is very dangerous for a person with a domestic-violence history to possess a firearm. … #Bondi has the power to restore rights without my blessing. My recommendation was sought, I believe, to give a veneer of legitimacy to what was…a…favor for a friend of the president.”
Dena Robinson, a lawyer in the #CivilRights Division:
“The idea of the investigation was that #PerkinsCoie supposedly engaged in illegal #discrimination against #WhiteMen. But Perkins Coie is an extremely white firm — only 3% of the partners are #Black. When my colleague pointed that out, the leadership didn’t care. They’d already reached their conclusion. They continued instructing my colleague to just find the evidence for it.”

Surviving domestic violence means you wait long enough to gather sufficient evidence... and hope you survive the wait.
I left at EXACTLY the right time for safety, which makes my case harder to prove.
I've taken this as far as I can on my own. I MUST hire a lawyer immediately.
I need to raise $5,000 this week, and I need your help. You've already done so much; it's hard to keep asking! Safety shouldn't be so expensive.
Please donate. Please boost. Please help ♥️

Thank you SO MUCH for the strong support! We're already 10% of the way and I have been reaching out to multiple lawyers and organizations. So excited to get this case back on track!
