The Protect Democracy Project’s inception coincided with [[Donald Trump]]’s first election victory.  It was born in “early 2017” by “a group of former high-level [[executive branch]] officials who served in the White House Counsel’s Office and upper echelons of the [[Department of Justice]]” from the [[Obama administration]]. Among the cohort are high-ranking officials such as Special Assistant to the President and Associate White House Counsel Michael Gottlieb, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, and Senior Deputy Director of Operations and Director for Finance Beau Wright.  Advisors to the group include a bevy of vocal Trump critics such as failed presidential candidate Evan McMullin, ''[[NYT]]'' reporter [[Anne Applebaum]], and Jerry Taylor, President of the Niskanen Center, which has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from George Soros’s Open Society Institute.  PDP’s mission statement vows that President Trump “must be blunted.”
