Cowards.

Fucking cowards.

Intended consequences

Keep fighting, Marc. You give us hope. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Lets be clear - Trump see's the office of the Presidency as a rightful legacy to his family linage ... not as an pledge of obligation of service to the American people -

I wonder what, if anything, the leadership of the ABA think about this.

LOSERS,CONSPIRERES,SUBSERVIENTS,INSURRECTIONISTS😡😡😡IT'S OUR COUNTRY,MORONS. OH,POOR LOSER,WOULDN'T WANT TO LOSE CLIENTS AND MISS LUNCH MONEY,YOU DAMN HIGH OVER PRICED THIEVES😡KEEP ON TRUCKIN',MARC🇱🇷👍🇱🇷👍🇱🇷👍🇱🇷 #USCONSTITUTION

So sick of the corruption

Because us little people have never deserved real due process. Money gets due process

Republican regulations

👀👆This is something you’d expect in China / Russia etc 🤷‍♀️

Crackdown? They spelled shake down wrong eh

Easy solution. He wants free legal work to support fascist policies? You get what you pay for.

But is it true what I heard about law firms who made a deal with Donald saying he'd get all this pro bono work that Trump didn't read the fine print. All the law firms apparently specified they'd only do work they chose including defending veterans benefits, etc. If true, it's a nice Uno reverse

Aren't all cases technically politics? Our political system created the laws and the systems that judge them. It's all politics.

That should not be criteria for taking on a case or not.

HONESTLY, THIS IS NOT NEWS AND IT IS ALSO A FIRST WORLD PROBLEM FOR HIGHLY PROTECTED PROFESSIONALS. ADDITIONALLY THE LANGUAGE THAT DESCRIBES THE RELUCTANCE OF CERTAIN ACTORS TO ENGAGE THEIR EMPLOYER IS MISNOMERED AS “POLITICS.” IT IS NOT POLITICS: IT IS COOPERATION IN ADVANCE, AS REQUIRED

There is no reason to be afraid of Trump.

Hate to say it, but lawyers for the most part, are all for themselves. It’s a fact. Not great, but true.

Sounds like an easy excuse, not to do pro bono work

Well. Wasn’t that the plan? I tell you what, everyone calls them stupid, but they’re not . They’re not stupid at all.

Corrupt cowards.

EVERY firm that lets itself become SUBSERVIENT to a walking septic tank deserves to go BANKRUPT just like the corrupt SCUM in WH!!

They can see which way the wind is blowing.

Law is inherently political

F them all.

Weak

and @cnn.com it is not “trump’s crack down”. these are illegal coercive corrupt CRIMES. stop using legitimizing language

Why the cowardice? What can Trump, et al do to them?

Cowards. If lawyers won't fight for the rule of law, what's the point of having a legal system at all?

The felon has never met a law he wouldn’t break or a crime he wouldn’t commit. Despicable

Agree! Shameful

where's that Military Coup to end this charade ? congress & courts will take forever leaving cultists to inflict more damage then is repairable in next potus term

So they are self policing thus giving this “administration” (if you could call it that), exactly what they want Talk about cowards. I thought lawyers were ruthless-geez. Thanks Marc for stepping up! Again and again!

Who wants a weak legal team!?

And just like that, the lawyers of Skadden Arps, Paul Weiss, Willkie Farr, etc—despite their chalk-striped suits and their squash court muscles—saw their reputations tattered and their morality turn flaccid. To coin a phrase, just shivers looking for spines to run up.

Marc, is there precedent for law firms performing work meant to be handled by the DOJ?

Good let them feel this, do this. When they loose clients to smaller firms or lawyers w/spines(Marc Elias), then that wealth distribution may now ‘trickle down’ to the little firms that COULD! I hope they loose it all for caving to DJT! Have they forgotten only the ‘almighty’ knows the hour/day.

The complicity is the problem

I'm sick of this evil shit. These evangelicals don't care if he crashes the economy they want him to be evil! Hell, they probably want him to be Pope since they think that's funny!

Fuckin cowards I hope the Democrats make them pay when they get back in office

Recalls the old joke: Why do they bury lawyers 12 feet deep? Because deep down they’re really good people.

And this is how fascism rears its ugly head. As the saying goes evil triumphs when good men do nothing.

The guys getting the big bucks are typically the biggest cowards. Search before you engage. There are lots of very bright lawyers who aren’t afraid of schoolyard bullies. Particularly those that have short life spans.

this is who lawyers have always been

The chilling effect this regime intended.

Pocket over patriotism. 😠

Scummy.

American culture is broken.

Not my law firm.

What isn't, or can't, be made political?

Such cowardly behavior by the most privileged among us.

Cowards

pussies

And unimaginable, really.

It would seem we have a large population of cowards coming out where we can see them.

Not just shameful, cowardly

which is the point, he created the fear so they will refuse to challenge him. what the largest law firms fail to realize is that their capitulation will only cause their clients to leave them.

He's a zit that needs to be popped.

Pro bono publico Not Pro bono optimorum

Is America broken yet or will it take a little more time?

Undemining.

Chilling.

Scared of an old man.

😞
