Cowardly, spineless, gutless, craven, wimpish, pusillanimous.

Shame.

Trump rescinds his Executive Order targeting Paul, Weiss because the firm entered into an “agreement” with Trump.

According to the White House, Trump agreed to rescind after a meeting w/ Paul Weiss chairman Brad Karp, in which Karp “acknowledged the wrongdoing” of former partner Mark Pomerantz.

AND they just paid Trump off with $40 million. #Bribery. Of course there used to be a law banning bribes, the 1977 #FCPA, but of course Trump has now “paused enforcement,” which his corrupt #DOJ will do, unless they catch a Dem doing it, amirite?

Corruption, greed, and sociopath know no bounds, evidently

melpassiflora.bsky.social•4 days ago

I hope people leave the firm over this.

melpassiflora.bsky.social•4 days ago

Clients and attorneys.

rdilipk.bsky.social•4 days ago

They were already leaving is why they did this right?

$40M payoff. We are being run by a crime syndicate and now the lawyers are on board. This is bullshit.

handonthetiller.bsky.social•4 days ago

Well, maybe they lied to him, too.

What did Pomerantz do?

Either that is not the real Donald Trump, or he's talking about himself in the third person again and using vocabulary aids. Either way, applying his arguments about autopen stamping being invalid, we should doubt the provenance of anything he issues from now on.

coyoty.bsky.social•4 days ago

Just like he says about Biden's pardons, how do we know it's really him writing as him, or that he really knows that "his" decisions exist?

kconti.bsky.social•4 days ago

So now we ‘govern’ via extortion, great…I am sure everything will be fine…

dlg72.bsky.social•4 days ago

If true, I bet the $40M in pro bono work is used to go after law firms that won't make a similar commitment.

Exactly, the regime is getting stomped in the courts in large part because of the incompetent administration but also bottom feeder representation b/c herr tiny hands is a feckless liar who routinely stiffs everyone so no one wants to get thrown under the bus in court repping him.

I would suspect the threats being made to resisters are pretty strong, like existential. Bit like late 1930s Deutschland. It would explain a lot

And jobs for his lackeys doing the “audit”

michellr22sd.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is detrimental to the legal profession. Sickening. And fucking frightening.

satisfiedpsychic.bsky.social•4 days ago

Wonder how much of this rides on "White House says" though.

Will be hard to perform $40 million of pro bono after all their paying clients walk out on them.

Really like “pusillanimous”
Synonyms of pusillanimous
: lacking courage and resolution : marked by contemptible timidity

This is gross. Holy shit.

midwesternrosarian.bsky.social•4 days ago

How degrading and also weak - why would anyone hire such wimpy negotiators/litigators?

joshdsw.bsky.social•4 days ago

IAAL. The ABA should censor Paul Weiss and its lawyers, formally, and the applicable State Bar Associations should discipline the attorneys, each and every one. The penalty? A mark in their record that they engaged in an action that held the profession in disrepute.

cathygellis.bsky.social•4 days ago

Agreed, although Trump has a habit of getting things wrong in a slandering way so I'd like to see how they react to this announcement before writing them off.

eastslope.bsky.social•4 days ago

What is wrong with them?

This is (was) a stalwart firm. I wouldn't trust them now.

cabbageridge.bsky.social•4 days ago

And what did Pomerantz do except uncover the truth

lgotts.bsky.social•4 days ago

I am shocked that some lawyers are low on ethics….

Complicit

imaginehimhappy.bsky.social•4 days ago

At minimum, it's hard for me to imagine a Big Law ego tolerating this kind of public subservience, but I also think Big Law trains people to tolerate immoral clients (for a price).

Also hard to believe he's not misrepresenting whatever was discussed.

djyohimbe.bsky.social•4 days ago

Paul Weiss should have his penis cut off and force-fed to him.

Because he is certainly NOT a man.

deedlededoo.bsky.social•4 days ago

Paul’s behavior certainly isn’t in line with the Trump administration’s focus on masculinity.
