“Shameful” is too kind a word. But you’re right, this kind of moral cowardice will not pay off. Especially for people who care to look at themselves in the mirror every morning.

And to let Trump bleat it on his SM platform? Really? Who would want to hire these lawyers? No self respect; money only; and yes, sounds like a Jewish based firm. Who would have guessed?

Did Brad Karp think the details would stay private? Did he not realize Trump would take a victory lap? I feel certain there are some lies in Trumps statement but that’s Brad Karps problem now.

They might be a law firm of very skilled lawyers but how good is a skilled lawyer who won’t stand up for you? How good are your skills when you fold under pressure? If they won’t fight for themselves I certainly wouldn’t hire them to fight for me.

How far they've fallen. Check out a bit of their history⤵️. They were a refuge for Jewish lawyers when almost no other firms would hire them, and they broke multiple barriers for women, Black people, and more. Now it's DEI for MAGA in hiring and client representation. Appeasers. Shame on them.

You stated the exact phrase that has been running around in my mind for weeks : "Especially for people who care to look at themselves in the mirror every morning." How can a so many people in the government do what they are doing and look at themselves in the mirror every day - and not be bothered?

The type of clients they retain & attract will be more than they bargain for: Those just as bad or worse 🧐 - than Trump. Good, decent people will find better legal advice elsewhere. And good, decent people will raise the alarm about this firm. For years. I would not trust this firm.
