Let them spend money and time overcoming executive orders.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump expanded his attacks on major U.S. law firms on Tuesday as he signed an executive order targeting Jenner & Block, which represents clients challenging some of his major policies and formerly employed a prosecutor involved in a special counsel investigation of his 2016 campaign.
The order resembled ones that Trump previously issued against prominent firms Perkins Coie and Paul Weiss. The orders suspended security clearances for their lawyers and restricted their access to government buildings, officials and federal contracting work.
The Republican president cited Jenner & Block's past employment of Andrew Weissmann, a top federal prosecutor involved in former U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation that detailed Russian contacts with Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

But, I could be wrong. If someone wants to politely tell me how I am, I’ll welcome that.>>> How do private citizens get security access? I’d like to listen in on some SecDef conversations.
“Targets”! B-52’s inbound?
This is like putting pressure on the countries doing business with Venezuela and Russia. Trump is putting pressure on Justice Roberts.

Why would a private firm’s lawyers have security clearances and access to government buildings in the first place?
Are they some sort of government contractors? Or merely Democrat Party insiders?
Not so much aimed at a private enterprise as much as at people/businesses who use their position to promote corruption. If an attorney needs TSC he/she needs to work for the government, not a private firm. They have no need for a TSC.
How many of Trump’s attorneys have been charged with and jailed over representing their client? So if Governments can arrest and jailed attorneys because of their legal representation, then Presidents Trump can prevent potential legal malpractice from previous bad actors.
“Why would a private firm’s lawyers have security clearances and access to government buildings in the first place?”
If a private firm is representing a client or clients who are doing business with the government in classified areas, the attorneys at that firm who are handling the client’s account need security clearances to get into the necessary information. This would also hold for defense attorneys who are trying to represent persons where government contractors or employees that need security clearances are involved. Thus, this security clearance denial can do tremendous harm to a law firm like Jenner & Block because it cuts them off from a great deal of the practice they’d otherwise have involving government employees and agencies.

I’m guessing the key is to donate large sums of money to Democrat candidates. That’ll get you a federal contract and security access.
But don’t waste your money now. There’s a new sheriff in town.
Okay, I can see that.
Thanks for the reply. I suppose I’m missing something. Why would someone doing business with the federal government need legal representation in the first place?
I can see having a lawyer look over the contract. But would that require access to top secret information?
Anyway, it would seem to me that Trump has the right to pick who should and should not get a security clearance.
The only exception would be in pay-to-play cases. That would be corruption. And yes, Joe Biden. I’m thinking about you there.
I can smell the estrogen through my computer screen! The leftist will not learn until they get some of their own medicine.
I worked for a large law firm that represented aerospace firms that had government contracts. Issues often arose that required attorneys to have access to plans and diagrams, etc. of military planes and equipment. Some of our guys (but certainly not all) had top clearances, and necessarily so.
However, if those clearances were abused, not only was there punishment for the attorney or staff that was the culprit, but the whole firm was at risk of losing its clearances and clients.
That seems both fair enough, and clear enough.
They advise government contractors.
If your biggest customer is the government, and the government makes the rules for how that relationship is governed, you need a law firm. A pretty sophisticated law firm.
