Every time I read about these law firms caving I think about the sporting goods store owner in the Sopranos who got in hock to Tony and how Tony’s crew ended up cleaning out his store and bankrupting him …. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bust_Out
Replies
These law firms are more worried about business than joining the fight for law an order and rule of law. They would win in court against these trumped allegations and blackmail. Any of their lawyers with integrity should resign.

Money and greed, unfortunately. And an unwillingness to stand up to a blackmailer.

Where do you think he learned his strong-arm tactics? He learned them from the NY mob syndicate. Roy Cohn, lawyer to the mob, was his mentor as well as his lawyer. Everything that he does is identical to mob boss behavior. Like the mob, he's demanding (from law firms, universities, etc.) pizzo.

C’mon, George. You were from the big law world. You know exactly what is going on. Trump supporting Billionaire clients and rainmaker partners are picking up the phone for Donny and telling their leadership to capitulate or lose the business dollars.

Or how about Good Fellas when the guy with the bar needs a "little help" from the Guys. Soon they were using it as a place to dump their stolen goods and eventually burned it down for the insurance money. It's a total metaphor for Trump and his cadre of law firms. What cowards.

Yes you can already see the effects taking place. I am so sick of the total incompetence of the Democrats. I am afraid that all the shocking news on media he is showing method for taking over the USA to become little Russia. Hope lies in his incompetence.

That's exactly how Trump operates. As someone said recently, was it you George, "that's a nice law firm you've got there. It would be a shame if something happened to it"? BTW, I miss the Sopranos, but I don't like the imitation that's operating in the WH and Congress.

Can’t each firm bill the agreement max for one “pro bono” case apiece and then, they’re off their hooks? (Don’t know terms of the agreements). The best creative billing case had to be Harvey Myerson’s, “My Wife Made Me Crazy” defense, when Shearson nailed them in the 90’s.

I mean seriously, how long before Trump does his mafia don thing and forces them to represent some really repugnant clients or just gets the managing partners in a room and forces them to "suck" something so to speak? You know Trump wonʻt stop with these agreements. He loves to dominate.

Once he can tell them who they must represent, he can tell them who they cannot represent. As Maddow said, it’s not too late for the firms to back out of the agreement. Let dt sue—we’ll see if the courts rule that extortion is still a crime, even if committed by dear leader.
