How about lawyers suborning perjury in order to influence an election?

Do those lawyers and firms who support those lawyers deserve to know the nation’s security secrets? They’ve already shown that they are willing to sacrifice election integrity and national security in order to “get” a political opponent - and more than willing to lie all the way to the bank to hide what they’ve done. Are those really the people who should know information that could compromise everything that America is supposed to be?

I think it’s a case of “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Any country that would trust people who have already shown their treason is on a suicide mission.

The relationship between a law firm and client requires a high degree of trust and confidence. Where a law firm has previously declared and carried out ideological opposition to the client -- in this case Trump and his administration -- the required trust and confidence cannot exist.

As for comparisons to Thurgood Marshall, he fought many hard battles as a lawyer against often racist government actions for an underdog's pay. Yet he never presumed to demand that he had a right to be hired by those same governments.

There’s no reason to presume law firms would be more moral than used car salesmen just because they went to college.

“I seem to recall some law firms refused to represent Trump because of his politics. Now he’s returning the favor.”

I seem to recall efforts to have attorneys representing election challengers and TRump disbarred.

Where the hell was this concern when President Trump’s lawyers were being attacked by Leftists....had bar complaints brought against them....were sanctioned and/or threatened with disbarment?

As we say here in the South, “you came to Jesus a little too late my friend.”

Oh please. All this self-stroking is puke-inducing.
