Anyone caving to these demands and making such corrupt deals should be disbarred.

First $40m, now $100m. Seems like these deals are getting worse and worse.

As could be expected.

Yep

lol they needed to unionize the whole time. Talk about absurdly exploitative!

It's almost literally just a tribute payment to him. Didn't even make him issue the order first.

Genuine question: What is his leverage over them? Why would they sign such deals?

Hard to see why any client would stick with a firm that buckles at the first sign of political pressure. Clients should ask: if they won’t stand up to power, how can you trust them to stand up for you?

They want to remain part of the oligarchic system more than they value the rule of law. Pathetic.

Idk, not sure I agree - my preferred solution /does/ involve bars though…

Prosecuted for blatant bribery*

Disgusting! Shame in this firm.

The "causes" referenced will likely be people in administration. He learned from first round in Oval, his staff might speak up and tell the truth in front of Congress.
