“Support for the law firms that didn’t make deals has been growing inside the offices of corporate executives. At least 11 big companies are moving work away from law firms that settled with the administration or are giving—or intend to give—more business to firms that have been targeted but refused to strike deals, according to general counsels at those companies and other people familiar with those decisions.”
“In interviews, general counsels expressed concern about whether they could trust law firms that struck deals to fight for them in court and in negotiating big deals if they weren’t willing to stand up for themselves against Trump. The general counsel of a manufacturer of medical supplies said that if firms facing White House pressure ‘don’t have a hard line,’ they don’t have any line at all.”
“How appalling is it that Trump—an outright criminal who should have gone to jail for far more than he was convicted of—is using his official power to punish lawyers for representing innocent people he doesn't like and to deny people the very due process he's getting?”
What prompted my question was Sullivan & Cromwell LLP’s appalling involvement with Trump:
Our last @PsychoPAC24 ad is this extended video of a few of Trump’s sexual-assault victims recounting their chillingly similar experiences. It includes Stacey Williams, who spoke out just days ago. Suffice it to say, their courage is inspiring. 1/7
It’s a fitting finale, not only because their descriptions of @realDonaldTrump’s abusive behavior so crystallize his
malignant narcissism, but because history will record that in 2024 the women’s vote saved our democracy and put a woman in the Oval Office for the first time. 2/7
While I’m at it, I’d like to thank all of you who contributed to and otherwise supported @PsychoPAC24. We were one voice among many (thankfully!), but I do think we added a perspective that needed amplification. We couldn’t have done it without the millions of hard-earned dollars you so generously chipped in. 3/7
