Serious question, Maddow. How much do you think Wall Street paid Obama in "protection" money to keep your boy Eric Holder from prosecuting them after the 2008 financial crisis?
Answer: Big banks donated millions of $$ to Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. #Hypocrisy #ResistMaddow

watchingmsnbc.bsky.social•2 days ago

More garbage last night from garbage-slinger Maddow hosting "Obama's wingman" Eric Holder who grotesquely pontificated about "rule of law." Same Eric Holder who let all the Wall Street crooks get away with it after the 2008 financial crisis -- a move so corrupt PBS did a documentary about it.

Who told the Big Lie that the 2020 election was the "most secure in U.S. history" while interfering in the election to help the Biden campaign by parroting their lie that the Hunter Biden laptop story was "Russian disinformation"? Chris Krebs!
Cut the crap, Maddow. He deserves to be investigated.

watchingmsnbc.bsky.social•2 days ago

I heard your whining with "Obama's wingman" last night, Maddow. Chris Krebs is anything but "regular people" he's a member of CISA who abused his position -- telling the Big Lie that the 2020 election was "the most secure in U.S. history" and working to censor regular Americans. #ResistMaddow

What I have difficulty understanding is that the American constitution dates back to 1789 and has been valid for centuries, but someone temporarily residing in the White House finds the right to act contrary quite easily and succeeds in doing so because the reaction time is very long.

Traditionally, his attorneys have been the only ones that have suffered consequences…

Trump made it sound today that the money these law firms are paying as ransom or bribe is available to him for future defense for himself. Is that true?

In the Trump administration 2.0, DOJ exist to protect Trump's power and punish dissent. Nuff said.

The firms deciding to work for an authoritarian will learn fast and hard what their new purpose is. With no law future ahead of them.

Awesome questions and response with Eric HOLDER!!! Excellent!!! Thank you.

He never has and never will honor any of his deals. He will spin this to his MAGA cultists and Republican sycophants.

Anyone who represents them will become a target. Law firms (if they ever actually were about law) have to band together and get used to a modest income for now.

The others always were just part of the oligarchy.

Some Big Law firms have caved, but more have joined as amici in the Perkins Coie case. A group of big companies—Big Law clients—have done the same. The fight isn’t over.

Lawyers who choose to kowtow to this Administration shouldn’t be surprised when in the future their FIRMS fail for lacking STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY! 😝🤦‍♀️😡😤☮️💔

My bet is on the lawyers that are put on his future cases from these firms just being awful and terrible at their jobs.... Or so sick of him that they can barely get out of bed to defend him. It's gonna be fun to watch 🍿🍿

It makes me sad that such highly educated people have so little respect for our Constitution. These people have every resource to stand firm against Tyranny. What they’re not taking into account is the fact that PEOPLE won’t forget their COWARDICE. Who wants a cowardly LAWYER to represent them? 🤷‍♀️

Many people forgot tRump's first term. What makes you think they will remember (or care) BIGLAW's acquiesce to tRump's demands? The typical American has the memory of a housefly

All of his old lawyers are disbarred or jail for their illegal actions for Trump

What I learned in the school yard:

When the bully pokes you in the chest, you break his finger. Giving him your ham sandwich will only ensure he comes back tomorrow for your sandwich and your cookie.

It’s not that hard.

I think it's very important for the media coverage of Trump and his accomplices to use the words "corruption", "extortion", "protection racket", and "RICO crimes". Trump has one move, in politics, business, and personal interaction: EXTORTION. It's always extortion.

kbaer1701.bsky.social•2 days ago

Every action is EXTORTION, and every agreement/announcement is Television programming for daily ratings. It's so simple that someone with advanced dementia can do it.

rescuesdogz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Who would ever want to go these firms even if they could afford it. Any lawyer who displays such cowardice is not a lawyer I would want on my side.

I thought it wasn't prudent to negotiate with terrorists.

bitstarved.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor EO is the worst thing he has done yet.

Talk about it all day long and next week as well!

Stop covering the tariffs and make it clear we are all in grave danger.

What lawyer will represent them?
