Brad Karp, a prominent Democratic donor, led an effort among large law-firm partners to support Kamala Harris in the last presidential election. During Trump’s first term the firm helped fight the administration’s policy that separated parents and their children at border https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-rescinds-order-targeting-law-firm-paul-weiss-2bda2791

So Karp donated MILLIONS INCL MILLIONS TO HARRIS FROM PW...and w in 2 months he "gives in to trump"? Was there perhaps pretend allegiance being shown to Harris Campaign...to get intel/access? Hmmm

Isn’t this an ethics violation to agree to represent a former adversary under duress? I mean, okay, the answer is yes. A court should refuse the waiver of the conflict.

professoryemiadams.bsky.social•7 days ago

While being targeted by this type of retaliation order represents a significant & possibly existential threat, I cant fathom the reasoning that led Paul Weiss to conclude that the repercussions of this “deal” would be more manageable for them. It’s akin to being held hostage & opting for suicide.

loudlong.bsky.social•7 days ago

I can only surmise that Paul Weiss cut a cooperation deal with Congress to provide evidence to support Trump’s impeachment for the high crime of extortion. Because there is no other principled reason for its submission to the mob boss.

The rule of law is finished in the USA. Citizens attempting to fight businesses or government will never be able to find a lawyer for fear of sanctions. What foreign business would invest in a country where they can't defend their business or IP in court?

demosthenes1959.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump commits impeachable offenses every single day, and we all know the corrupt authoritarian GOP couldn’t care less. The rule of law is meaningless to those scum.

makani-noho.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hope this is beyond the Pale even for some of the conservative Supreme Court justices, and hopefully they will keep it in back of mind when reviewing all of the DOGE cases. Also, who is going to do the audit trail of the $40 million? It will find its way into certain pockets I have no doubt.

makani-noho.bsky.social•7 days ago

Actually that raises some interesting ethical issues. They will provide $40 million in legal services to "pro bono" clients. So letʻs say one of those clients is "Moms for Liberty." Who in the Trump admin gets to audit the legal bills to keep track of the billable hours and expenses?

apphouse50.bsky.social•7 days ago

WOW. I remember delivering huge boxes of documents in a lawsuit against the big auto makers to Paul Weiss in 1973 on Park Avenue. It was a super prestigious firm that's boasted names like Ted Sorensen, Lloyd K. Garrison, Arthur Goldberg,
Adlai Stevenson, and
Loretta Lynch. How embarrassing.

usanotsafe.bsky.social•7 days ago

Absolutely an impeachable offense. It is textbook shakedown / bribery. It even passes the insane SCOTUS standard of "gratuities" since they have agreed in the open in advance, and now will perform the payment for the official act.

ashmcsidhe.bsky.social•6 days ago

Impeachable only if you can get Congress to actually do anything about it. That’s not going to happen with this Congress. At least not yet. They’re too busy rimming him still.

thatdeepfriedbussy.bsky.social•6 days ago

To anyone reading this, the lawyer(s) are reportable to their respective State Bar Association to launch an investigation on the lawyers for ethics violations, leading to disbarment. While we cannot stop them from the initial damage, we can surely keep them on notice with legal consequences!

The road to Trump/Musk installing an oligarchy, like Putin did in 1990s Russia where the most profitable organisations were dismantled and taken over by tycoons able to take advantage of an increasingly compromised privatisation process and seize control of hugely profitable state enterprises.

amolinadesigns.bsky.social•7 days ago

There’s not enough people to impeach him. Plus, he was impeached twice on his last term and it didn’t do nothing.

The GOP is mainly responsible for not standing up to Trump. Plus, they got what they always wanted…power over all the people. They’re never going to let that go now.

tim468.bsky.social•6 days ago

It is discouraging. I think of they went after moderate republicans in the midterms they could flip the house but it feels like too much damage will happen in the mean time
