NEW: I obtained a copy of the email that Skadden executive partner Jeremy London sent to employees of the law firm earlier today.
The email details the “agreement” Skadden reached with Trump to avoid being targeted by an executive order.

Hrmmmm...I kinda think it was obvious, and they just got it wrong.
I do believe everyone accused of a crime deserves representation, so maybe it's a wash, but idk... seems like signing a deal with the devil.
Let's all let them know what we think!
Not much of a ‘deal’ they don’t seem to have negotiated him down at all
"Were good people. We've even done pro bono work. Now, this extortion is within our budget. Let's pay the dues & they'll move on to another firm. Let's keep our heads down & keep "this" machine running, boys."
Right now, most judges call it a tie , but stay tuned !!
The next episode will have some bangers !!
Republicans also define words very differently from Democrats.
They didn’t try to negotiate this better? Aren’t they lawyers?
Indeed, it isn’t illegal for universities to engage in DEI un—the Harvard decision focused on affirmative action in admissions, not broader DEI efforts.
they put DEI in the statement, dt is going to get them for another $100M
🤣🤣🤣
Spineless, greedy collaborators
I suppose that's probably true. But it does reveal who you are.
old enough to be their grandmother (maybe even great granny) and soooo proud of them
Grew up believing it was boys who had balls & girls were there to bake cookies & look after the kids
Things change so fast, we almost didn't see it go

Makes it harder to fathom, except the money keeps flowing in the near term.
Fuck them all. 😵💫😖🤬
The appetite of the authoritarian can never be satiated. Caving does not satisfy it.
Unbelievable.
Does this memo mean that they have to represent trump and muskrats cronies pro bona? And does trump administration tell them who they have to represent?
I just don’t understand! Please someone explain this to me!!
The admin can now encourage questionable actions by mid and lower level politicians with the promise pro-bono representation.
Since I see this administration as at best The Mob, at worst an extension of Putin's Russia, I don't see a win for Skadden with this.
Disgusting collaborators gonna collaborate disgustingly, I guess.

Law firm says…we promise to not break the law.
Well yeah, duh.
(Yes, there’s also an “advisor”…who has been given no power.)
Thank you for your attention to this matter
