Law Firm has been leaking to the NY Times and telling the times they are not very happy to be representing POTUS and saying he hasn’t been paying them and violating the client confidentiality so badly they should be disbarred!!!

I read the NYT story.
There are 2500 lawyers who work for the firm in question.
Some are bound to hate Trump.
The ones supposedly upset are not necessarily the ones working on the case.
The one who quit and the others who are referenced did not ID themselves.
Nothing was said about non-payment.
Nothing about the case was leaked. All that was *leaked* (maybe) was that a handful or less of the attorneys working for this large firm that takes controversial cases were not happy about this particular client.
Period.
It was likely cobbled together by a handful of NYT workers who trawled the employees for a few who don’t want to be associated with this case.
AFAIK, no one is ever forced to work a specific case in any firm. The story also sank beneath notice immediately. Only Steyn made a deal out of it. I heard him and I spent most of the day looking for reactions. I found none. (There may have been some twatters pontificating, but I don’t twit)
I think it stinks and totally agree with Steyn!!! Officeholders must avoid the slightest appearance of treachery/evil and so should law firms avoid giving the impression that a client is not worthy of their full and unmitigated support, don't you think!?!?
Aren't the stakes high enough to justify that the client, our President, should not be subjected to publishing dubious articles in ways that tend to poison the waters the client is swimming through!!!
