Attorney John Pierce Rejects Entitlement to $2M Bail Fund in Rittenhouse Case

DALLAS, TX November 1, 2021 – Journalist: Cassandra Fairbanks - Outlet: TimCast
After months of social media speculation and widespread disinformation, attorney John Pierce, the California litigator currently defending twenty-one of the January 6th Capitol Hill Protestors, has filed an interpleader action in Texas federal district court, disclaiming any entitlement to the $2M bail money he was instrumental in raising in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.

“I created the #FightBack Foundation that raised the bail money to set Kyle free, and I resigned from the board immediately upon taking Kyle’s case” explained Pierce. “Now there seems to be bickering between #FightBack and his current fundraising entity as to the disposition of those funds. I filed an interpleader action in Texas pursuant to federal venue requirements to make it clear that I am not the one determining what happens to the money, and I have no intent to make any claim to it.”

Founder of former powerhouse litigation firm, Pierce Bainbridge, John Pierce recently launched a more streamlined firm, John Pierce Law.

“This is an unprecedented time in history where regular, hard-working, Americans are being villainized, and in some cases, rounded up and jailed for protecting themselves or exercising their rights, simply because they haven’t bought into the ‘woke’ agenda. This manufactured controversy over the Rittenhouse bail money is nothing more than a distraction designed to discredit me, as I prepare the Capitol Hill protestors’ defense. This filing hopefully will put an end to the nonsense.”

When asked about the Rittenhouse case Pierce offered, “Kyle Rittenhouse is totally innocent, and I join tens of millions of Americans who support the right of self-defense and the Second Amendment in looking forward to his full acquittal by a jury of his peers.”
