How Donald Trump Throttled Big Law

His threats have no bounds so we are all targets. #Trump broadened campaign of retaliation against lawyers he dislikes w a memorandum that threatens to use govt power 2 punish any #law firms that in his view unfairly #challenge his administration. memorandum directs #DOJ #DHS to “seek sanctions against #attorneys & law firms who engage in frivolous, unreasonable and vexatious litigation against the United States” or in matters that come before federal agencies. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/us/politics/trump-memo-lawyers.html #democracy
question for lawyers on here:
it’s pretty clear that donnyboy’s attorneys are lying through their teeth to the judge—isn’t that really stressful?
If you go to law school and pass the bar there must be a lot of times that you go over that part about telling the truth, amirite?
Violating one’s oath has got to take a toll—when does one of them crack?
#DJT uses #DOJ HQ as a makeshift #Drumpf rally stage today in front of top US #LawEnforcement officials. #PamBondi intro's him with personal note that dept's sworn officers "will never stop fighting for him". President ranted into the mic today referring to dept lawyers that previously targeted his criminality as the "Department of Injustice". He spent his time inside the Robert F. Kennedy bldg addressing his personal #attorneys who are now the dept's leadership, lambasting #disloyal media figures as "scum" whose comments should be "illegal".
"During a tirade against the #FBI, the president touted his actions to revoke security clearances for those who had investigated him and the removal of FBI agents associated with Jan. 6 investigations" then he falsely claimed that the prices of gasoline and #eggs have fallen, when anyone buying them knows they have not.
He referred to investigators behind previous #SpecialCounsel #RussiaInvestigation as "violent" and ended on a note referencing the pullout of troops out of #Afghanistan that "the people who did this to us should go to jail, they should go to jail. So, I just want to say, God bless America because we have to say #GodBless. We're lucky we're still here."

Yesterday a #Federal judge barred parts of an insane illegal heavy handed and chilling childlike #DJT #ExecutiveOrder targeting exclusively employees and clients of a large influential #DC #beltway #lawfirm he doesn't like.
Known as #PerkinsCoie , the 100+ yr old firm started in #Seattle and has long represented biz & top tech clients including #Amazon & #Microsoft etc, as well as many other #Fortune500 names .
The #RWNJ #HoiPolloi anger at the firm has to do with the fact #PerkinsCoie attorneys helped commission the embarrassing and disputed #SteeleDossier that included allegations against a failed NJ casino operator turned political candidate.who eventually became President TWICE!
The far reaching petty #policestate and draconian #Drumpf overreach would've made it virtually impossible for #employees or any of the 1000+ #attorneys at the firm to do biz in #DC . The order barred firm partners from even speaking to #federalemployees, or to physically enter any govt #property including #courtrooms etc.

Kansas Supreme Court chief justice warns of ‘all-out crisis’ in access to legal services
The justice spoke of "a growing divide between people with the means to access basic legal services and people who need those services but cannot afford them or, even if they can, are unable to find an attorney within a reasonable driving distance to represent them.”

No president has ever attempted to do what Donald Trump now proposes to do
—assemble a small team of former #personal #attorneys and install it at the highest levels of the Department of Justice.
The president-elect first named lawyers who have represented him in recent years to the key positions of deputy attorney general, principal deputy attorney general, and solicitor general.
Then, with the quick death of the Matt Gaetz nomination, he announced a new attorney-general nominee, Pam Bondi, who was a member of his legal defense team in the first impeachment.
The Justice Department’s responsibilities have always been subject to competing expectations:
that it would keep politics out of law enforcement but, like other departments, would loyally serve the president in the implementation of his governing program.
The results have been uneven, and at times disastrous, as with Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal.
But when problems arose, they were relatively localized:
the product of poor appointments, or the failure of particular presidents in particular situations to respect institutional values and norms.
What the DOJ faces now is different in kind:
a vision of White House control achieved through the appointments of individuals the president has chosen 💥because they have worked for him and
💥demonstrated their loyalty.
The pressing question now is whether these lawyers may be, as the president-elect likely hopes, the “president’s lawyers” in more than one sense.
“When people have the #tools, #network, #resources, #knowledge, experience stacked up on top of access to top #attorneys, #accountants and others (plus the politicians that write the #law and #rules and regs) that know the rules inside and out they will...use it.”

A Connecticut lawyer has received a suspension for slapping another attorney in front of a courthouse and for a separate “destructive and harmful campaign of harassing behavior” against a former friend.
