Update: Something very wrong here. The law firm who were advising Staple Street Capital in acquiring Dominion was Kirkland & Ellis. That means they did their due diligence in regards to Dominion. William Barr was with Kirkland and Ellis during the acquisition.
And now this....
""The move to switch legal representation comes after Linda Kerns, a lawyer leading the Trump campaign’s efforts to dispute the election results in Pennsylvania, complained to a federal court that she received an abusive voicemail from a Kirkland & Ellis attorney, with Kerns saying the message “by any measure falls afoul of standards of professional conduct.”
"Kerns has been placed under official protection after allegedly being subjected to various forms of harassment, with a Nov. 18 filing (pdf) saying she was “the subject of threats of harm, to the point at which the involvement of police and U.S. Marshals has been necessary to provide for her safety.”

In 2018 , Dominion Voting Systems was acquired by a New York private equity firm called Staple Street Capital...
There is a key passage in this release.. it says:
“Stifel, Nicolaus & Company and Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP advised Dominion Voting. Kirkland & Ellis LLP and McMillan LLP advised Staple Street Capital.”
Kirkland and Ellis LLP is one of the most profitable law firms in the world.. They were advising Staple Street Capital regarding the purchase. That means Kirkland & Ellis would have dug into Dominion. They would have researched all of Dominion’s background so they could advise their client Staple Street in the acquisition...
Now who went back to work at Kirkland & Ellis in 2017 and was there at the time of Dominion purchase? WILLIAM BARR
From Wikipedia
“ In 2009, Barr was briefly of counsel to the firm Kirkland & Ellis. From 2010 until 2017, he advised corporations on government enforcement matters and regulatory litigation; he rejoined Kirkland and Ellis in 2017.[75]”
So there a few questions here:
Was William Barr involved as as advisor for the Dominion acquisition. If he wasn’t, did he KNOW any of the lawyers that were involved? What did Barr know about Dominion... needs to be asked
It just keeps getting crazier by the day
