President Donald Trump announced that the large law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom agreed to provide at least $100 million in pro bono legal services to the federal government during the Trump administration. The agreement, which Trump called "essentially a settlement," allows Skadden, Arps to avoid becoming the sixth elite law firm to be targeted by an executive order from Trump imposing various punishments. Trump last week rescinded one of those executive orders after the targeted law firm Paul, Weiss, agreed to perform $40 million worth of pro bono — free — legal work for causes that the president supports. Three targeted law firms, WilmerHale, Jenner & Block, and Perkins Coie have sued the Trump administration over the president's executive orders targeting them.

Can they be trusted?
Should change their name to Trump’s Bitches Law Firm.
Based on the evidence, they can’t be trusted. This “settlement” may provide an opportunity to shut them down.
No, but they can be watched and punished until they learn how to behave.
No. They are lawyers.
The lawyers in these firms are probably all leftist scum.
Delicious! President Trump does not drink, does not smoke. He does not need 8 hours of sleep every night. For DECADES, he rises each morning and goes to WORK. The day after the 2016 election, he did what he has always done. He went to work. He will not stop. They were unable to kill him, unable to put him in prison. He uses the glorious, real justice system to hold people accountable for their transgressions. With many of his cases, the money does not go to him. He directs it to others.
Since 2015, he has worked for every American, whether they vote for him or not. The Shining City On The Hill gets brighter every day he and his team are in office. EVERYONE still desires to come to the United States of America. Now they will come in an orderly, legal fashion.
Yes, it is a battle every day. Finally, we have a warrior in the Oval Office.
My same thought. Why let them back in?
It might be a good way to monitor leaks however
That works. Who is going to oversee their integrity, I wonder?
WHAT SCHMO WOULD TRUST THEM?
lol is that 2 billable hours 😂
They now have a conflict of interest if someone wants to sue the federal government and hire them.
A Federal Judge just reversed this deal.
How about Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim and Taft? (Seinfeld reference)
Will this effect Dewie, Cheatham and Howe?
Unfortunately, that's only 100 hours at scumsucker DC law firm rates..
