Veteran lawyers have reached a curious conclusion about Trump’s deals with big law firms this year: they do not appear to be legally valid.
Trump since coming to office has punished certain firms for their past clients or causes, stripping them of security clearances and government contracts, while trumpeting deals with others, including titans like Kirkland & Ellis and Latham & Watkins.
The White House said the nine firms it’s settled with agreed to provide about $1 billion in pro bono services in order to curtail investigations into their hiring practices and maintain access to federal buildings. But the details of those agreements remain murky, even after Democratic lawmakers demanded answers.
“The problem with the law firm deals is … they’re not deals at all,” said Harold Hongju Koh, a professor and former dean at Yale Law School. “You know, a contract that you make with a gun to your head is not a contract.”
Have the Law Firms tried BENDING THE KNEE and doing LITERALLY Whatever Trump wants? That USUALLY works really well!
I just can’t imagine staying a client of one of these firms. How could you trust these people to defend you ever? How could you not be sure they wouldn’t fold if someone offers them a good deal? Say you’re suing a huge multinational corporation what’s to let me know that they’re not going to accept a bribe? Hell what if my opponent is Donald Trump or one of Donald Trump’s allies? What if I’m being sued by the federal government? There’s no way that law firm won’t immediately fold or sabotage your case.
They’re no longer lawyers. They cannot advocate for you.
