Josh Hawley had his FedSoc friends at Cooper & Kirk--the GOP& #39;s go to firm--file a complaint against Galloway after she revealed Hawley broke ethics rules by failing to disclose pro bono legal services given to him by a DC law firm.

That DC firm is the very same one filing this complaint against Galloway.
Cooper & Kirk& #39;s work is partisan--the named partner is a sustaining member of the Republican Lawyers Association.
He also represented Jeff Sessions, John Ashcroft and John Bolton--and now Hawley.

After filing the complaint, the Missouri State Accountancy Board opened an investigation to see whether the allegations against the Auditor& #39;s office have merit.
Hawley wants Galloway prosecuted under Chapter 29.
The Board reminded him they don& #39;t have that power.

This, by the way, is what happens when corrupt politicians are held accountable.
They try to destroy the lives of good people--by seeking to revoke Auditor Galloway& #39;s licensure, Hawley wants to leave her without the tools to hold him accountable ever again.

The irony in all of this, of course, is Hawley whining about politicians abusing their power and authority when he is doing that exact thing by using his heft as a US Senator to cover up his own crimes.

The Missouri Ethics Commission dismissed the complaint against Hawley, citing that his use of the pro bono services was not related to the campaign--and that pro bono legal services don& #39;t need to be reported.

Why did he need that pro bono service? To help him navigate a law suit for another legal blunder when he lied about not having emails that were required to be shared under a Sunshine Request.

He used private emails to discuss his work as Attorney General + to coordinate his campaign for US Senate.
So when Cooper + Kirk helped Hawley in that suit--they were absolutely providing him assistance for his campaign--as convicted criminals don& #39;t tend to win elections.

Hawley didn& #39;t report any of that, of course, because he didn& #39;t want Missourians to know that his entire rise to the U.S. Senate was orchestrated by political hacks in Washington, DC.

Step 1: Teach at Mizzou Law (He& #39;s a very accomplished attorney. Makes sense.)
Step 2: Run for AG (an easy statewide race that requires only 1 year of residency)
Step 3: Run for U.S. Senate (can& #39;t be governor, because it requires 10 year residency, which Hawley lacked)

Step 4: Align with Trump on a nationalism/populist wagon on his way to the presidency in 2024.
Anyone trying to derail the plan put in play by McConnell should be on notice--because the entire machine is working against us in Missouri.
Hawley is just the face of it.

And for those keeping track--
The Missouri State Board of Accountancy must respond to every complaint + investigate it.
They set Galloway up--knowing the result before filing the complaint. They wanted the headline. They wanted to create division.
