Big Law is Capitulating to Trump

The claims against the big law firm were absurd. The law firm's reaction was a disaster.

When are the American people going to wake the ---- up.

------- targeted a lawyer and a law firm for personal reasons.

That law firm immediately folded to ------- and offered him $40,000,000 in free legal services to back off.

OUR NATION IS NO LONGER A DEMOCRACY

Has there been a comment by the Paul Weiss law firm on this ~agreement" yet?

So far, all I see are "the White House claimed" statements.

For example ...

www.theguardian.com

...But the president suddenly reversed course following a meeting between Trump and Brad Karp, the chair of the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, over the White House order.

Trump's order singled out the work of Mark Pomerantz, who previously worked at the firm and who oversaw an investigation by the Manhattan district attorney's office into Trump's finances before Trump became president. Pomerantz once likened the president to a mob boss.

To avoid the consequences of Trump's order, the White House said, the firm had agreed to "take on a wide range of pro bono matters that represent the full spectrum of political viewpoints of our society". The firm reportedly agreed to disavow the use of diversity, equity and inclusion considerations in its hiring and promotion decisions and to dedicate the equivalent of $40m in free legal services to support Trump administration policies on issues including assistance for veterans and countering antisemitism.

The firm, the White House claimed, also acknowledged the wrongdoing of Pomerantz, the partner involved in the investigation into Trump's hush-money payments to an adult film actor. It was unclear whether Karp was aware of that claim. ...



So, what, exactly has the law firm agreed to?

@#3 ... Thom has an excellent article and video on this traitor move on these law firms. ...

Do the article and video show the law firm's reply?

Or do we still need to depend upon the "White House said" statements for what may be actually happening?
