Look at the actual facts of the Adams case. Regardless of policy, politics, party, whatever - it's blatant corruption that approaches sending an email saying "hell yeah we would like to do that illegal thing! let's go!"

It deserved to be charged, and it deserves to be prosecuted fully. I do not accept corruption from government officials regardless of the letter after their name on the ballot.

We have an adversarial legal system. Law firms take up a variety of positions for a variety of reasons. Even the most despicable criminal deserves a vigorous defense at trial. If they did something illegal, charge and prosecute them. Executive orders are entirely the wrong vehicle. It's wielding presidential authority like a mob boss.

Keep drinking that kool-aid.

Granted, but bad faith lying for political reasons should not be included in that.

If you think what they did should be illegal but isn't now, work with congress to pass legislation that makes it illegal.

The rule of law is critical to the American system. The EOs targeting law firms are extrajudicial nonsense, and frankly impeachment worthy.
