Case in point: https://apnews.com/article/trump-law-firm-mueller-fc64fcda09...

> A prominent international law firm reached a deal with President Donald Trump on Friday to dedicate at least $100 million in free legal services and to review its hiring practices, averting a punishing executive order like the ones directed at nearly a half-dozen other major legal institutions in recent weeks.

This isn't theoretical. It's happening.




Wow, I thought the sum was $40 million, but that's what the other law firm paid that showed a lack of principles and caved...

And another law firm is being blackmailed because it used to employ someone who worked for Robert Mueller (of the Trump-Russia collusion investigation)... Geez Trump's team is actually busy, but busy settling old scores.


They’re busy making sure the firms with the money and bench to try to fight the authoritarian take-over in court are all sidelined.


Exactly, that was the case I had in mind.
