    This is open extortion using the power of the executive branch. Literally providing free services in order to not be targeted by an elected leader? Yikes.

    To avoid the consequences of Trump’s order, the White House said, the firm had agreed to “take on a wide range of pro bono matters that represent the full spectrum of political viewpoints of our society”.

    “To avoid legal repercussions we offered the US president a bribe” FTFY

      This reads as if the offer came from the other side.

      “To avoid legal repercussions, you can offer the US president a bribe.”

      So basically extortion or protection money.

    This miserable attempt at an administration is quite obviously the most openly and blatantly venal “mobigarchy” as has existed in at least my lifetime (65+yrs) and more than likely in the history of the US.

    It is literally Mob (read: Mafia) Rule.

    Fuck these criminal bastards and the 77M morons who voted them into office.

    🤦‍♀️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤡 🖕 🖕

    The administration full of millionaires and billionaires who received the largest inauguration fund in history needs a law firm to do free work for them.

    Thats how it works now, as a lawyer you either work for him or you get trouble for opposing trump, have to go to court yourself with another lawyer, that lawyer gets in trouble etc etc. Thats how you kill the legal system.
