I’ve been in politics for over a half-century. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It sends a message to clients, who may end up litigating against the government, when a law firm caves to even demonstrably illegal government pressure. If they won’t stick up for themselves, why would they stick up for you?

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?
