Exposed: Marc Elias’s Long War on Election Integrity and Ties to the Clinton-Fusion GPS Scandal
For years, Democrat operative Marc Elias has been at the center of nearly every legal battle aimed at weakening election integrity laws in the United States. From blocking voter ID requirements to suing to keep dead voters on the rolls, Elias has used the courts as a weapon to tilt the playing field in favor of the Democratic Party. But beneath the surface, Elias’s record shows more than partisan litigation—it shows deep involvement in one of the most brazen political scandals in U.S. history: the Crossfire Hurricane hoax.
The Architect of Lawfare
As the go-to elections attorney for top Democrats, Elias has fought tirelessly to:
- Block signature and witness verification for absentee ballots.
- Prevent observers from monitoring ballot drop boxes.
- Oppose efforts to clean voter rolls of ineligible and deceased voters.
- Legalize practices that leave elections vulnerable to fraud and abuse.
Despite his actions being wrapped in the language of “voter access,” Elias’s lawsuits consistently serve to erode safeguards that ensure elections are secure, transparent, and trustworthy.
From Voter Lawfare to the Russia Hoax
Before he became known as the Democrat Party’s top elections litigator, Marc Elias was a key figure in the origins of the Steele Dossier—the now-debunked document that launched Crossfire Hurricane and the years-long effort to delegitimize President Donald Trump.
According to declassified records and FBI disclosures obtained by former Trump official Kash Patel, Elias, while at Perkins Coie, hired Fusion GPS on behalf of the Clinton campaign in 2016. Fusion GPS, in turn, paid Christopher Steele, the disgraced former British intelligence agent, to compile opposition research against Trump using anonymous and unverifiable sources from Russia.
This “research” became the foundation of illegal FISA warrants, FBI surveillance of Trump campaign officials, and the sham Mueller probe that paralyzed a duly elected president for years.
The Nerve to Lecture About “Tyranny”
Now, as Trump regains momentum in 2025 and polls show the American people growing increasingly hostile to the political weaponization of government, Marc Elias is back in the headlines—projecting and panicking.
“You’re not going to intimidate me,” Elias said recently. “I’m going to speak out against tyranny… and I’m going to litigate. I’m not going to be a coward and back down.”
This from the man whose own legal work led to the most fraudulent political scandal in modern history, falsely smearing Trump as a Russian asset based on opposition research paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign—and whose strategy to dismantle election protections continues to do damage nationwide.
Deleted Tweets and Damaged Credibility
Elias recently deleted thousands of tweets, a move many speculate is related to ongoing investigations and legal scrutiny. As House Republicans and state legislatures examine the role of lawfare in undermining democratic processes, Elias’s conduct is again in the spotlight.
While Elias claims to be defending democracy, his actions have shown a consistent pattern: undermining election transparency, silencing dissent, and using legal technicalities to override the will of the people.
Conclusion: A Pattern of Subversion
From Crossfire Hurricane to COVID-era drop box chaos, Marc Elias has been a central player in the Democratic Party’s institutional attack on accountability and honest elections. Whether hiding behind legal briefs or partisan rhetoric, Elias’s legacy is one of deception, destabilization, and distrust.
The American people deserve elections that are secure, verifiable, and free of political sabotage—and they deserve to know the full truth about the operatives working to dismantle that trust from behind the scenes.
