Standing Up To Big Law Cowards!

Trump has made unprecedented attacks on the legal profession and many Big Law firms have folded under the pressure. (Ad from demandjustice.org)

 

Title from YouTube: “Law Firm Trump Retaliated Against Gives In Rather Than Fighting Back”

Description from YouTube: “After Trump retaliated against the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison by issuing an executive order against the firm that, per the NYT is “likely illegal”, instead of fighting the executive order in court, the head of the firm, Brad Karp, made that pilgrimage to the Oval Office and offered Trump $40 million in legal services to help Trump with his political priorities. In return, Trump withdrew the executive order.

Other law firms that were victimized by similarly retaliatory executive orders chose to stand up to Trump and fight the matter in court. But Paul, Weiss caved.”

This video discusses the ramifications of bowing down to Trump’s dictatorial aspirations versus standing up and fighting against Trump’s abuse of power, as well as the law of extortion: obtaining a thing of value from someone by threat or coercion.

 

Instead of fighting against Trump’s corruption and gangster style illegal demands, these cowardly law firms caved to Trump’s Extortion

Law firms pledge almost $1 billion in free work to Trump

Trump began this process by signing executive orders targeting firms that had represented his critics.

Per the above article:  America’s most prestigious law firms have agreed to provide almost $1 billion worth of legal work to Trump.

Trump began this process by signing executive orders targeting firms that had employed or represented his critics.

• Trump announced deals with 5 firms Friday. He’s now gotten the giants of Big Law to pledge a combined $940 million in pro bono legal work for conservative causes.
• The first firm to cut a deal — Paul, Weiss — argued that $40 million in pro bono work was a small price to pay compared to the money, clients and even top talent it could have lost if it chose to fight.
• As more firms have capitulated, Trump has been able to extract significantly bigger concessions using significantly less leverage, even from firms with which he had no personal grievance.

Four of yesterday’s agreements came from firms that were placed under investigation for their internal diversity policies — a less severe threat than Trump’s early tactic of revoking lawyers’ security clearances.

• They each agreed to provide $125 million worth of work on issues that both Trump and the firms support.

 

IMO, Law Firms and Lawyers which makes a ‘deal’ with Trump are TRAITORS and COWARDS who are selling out our country and helping Trump to destroy our Democracy and Freedom.

I will report ANY law firm and attorneys which tries to go after me for expressing my opinions to their BAR ASSOCIATION and counter sue them for Legal Harassment and attempting to violate my First Amendment Rights to Freedom of Speech

 

 

THIS IS WHO THESE COWARDLY LAWYERS AND LAW FIRMS AGREED TO PROTECT

 

Trump is the greatest threat to Democracy and Freedom our country has ever faced: a convicted felon who wants to be a dictator. Trump has shown over and over again the threat he represents to our democracy.

 

After learning that he lost the 2020 election, Trump REFUSED to admit defeat and LIED claiming without any proof that the election was stolen from him. Trump used legal tactics to challenge the election results in swing states and when those challenges didn’t work he resorted to inciting his followers to engage in a violent COUP to stop the certification of Democratically elected Joe Biden to stay in power against the will of the people. 5 deaths were attributed to his inciting violence to overturn the 2020 election on January 6, 2021.

 

 

“Enemy from within”

 

The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Millie said no one has ever been more dangerous to this country than Donald Trump and he is a fascist to his core.

 

Trump’s Promises and Plans for 2025 — in his own words

There’s no mystery about what Donald Trump wants to do in his second term. He’s told us his plans and Project 2025 is how Trump’s rhetoric will become an authoritarian reality for us all. Here’s what he has promised, in his own words.

1 – Pardon power
Trump will use his pardon power to shield himself and his allies from criminal accountability

2 – Directing Investigations Against Critics and Rivals
He’s promised to order the Department of Justice to investigate people who challenge him.

3 – Regulatory Retaliation
Trump has also promised to purge professional staff and experts inside the government and replace them with “Yes” Men and Women.

4 – Federal Law Enforcement Overreach
Trump plans to explode police powers in ways that would make America unrecognizable.

5 – Domestic Deployment of the Military
Trump wants to use the military to police our streets and send troops to our cities over the will of state and local officials.

6 – The Autocrat Won’t Leave
AND, like he showed us in 2020 and on January 6th, that if he is elected to office, he will be unwilling to leave. He’s willing to use every tool at his disposal to remain in power.

 

Project 2025 and the Radical Right Wing GOP Republican Dominated Supreme Court gave Trump “Absolute Immunity” and the Power of a Dictator to exact REVENGE against political opponents and anyone who criticizes him.

 

It’s up to the American people to stop Trump and MAGA Republicans from attempting to take over the government again this November.

 

Trump pledges to jail opponents, baselessly suggests election will be stolen from him

The former president’s latest threats, made in a social media post, represent the most overt signal yet that he will not accept the result in November if he loses.

Per the above article: “Trump pledges to jail opponents, Baselessly suggests election will be stolen from him”

“Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump threatened to jail people “involved in unscrupulous behavior” related to voting in the 2024 election, suggesting without evidence that the election could be stolen from him — and prompting widespread condemnation from election officials who said such rhetoric could provoke violence”. WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again,” Trump wrote on Saturday on his Truth Social platform”.

OPINION: TRUMP and REPUBLICANS are the ones who CHEATED and attempted to STEAL the 2020 election. TRUMP and REPUBLICANS who tried to steal the 2020 election and those making plans to steal the 2024 election (by claiming ‘irregularities’ and refusing to certify the election if Trump loses) are the ones who should get ‘long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again‘.

 

Donald Trump threatens to imprison Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and others. Experts are worried

Donald Trump is threatening to prosecute and imprison his political enemies. Experts on democracy and the rule of law told USA TODAY the risk is real.

Per the above USA Today article – “Donald Trump threatens to imprison Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and others… Richard Painter, who was a White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, likened the comments to a vision of President Vladimir Putin’s Russia, where Putin’s political opponents end up behind bars on charges such as “extremism” or “treason” after criticizing his regime.

“It’s extremely dangerous for democracy, this idea that the winner just puts the loser in prison, prosecutes the loser,” Painter told USA TODAY.

Trump Campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told USA TODAY in an email that Trump “believes anyone who breaks the law should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, including criminals who engage in election fraud.”

“Without free and fair elections, you can’t have a country. Ask Venezuela,” Leavitt said.

The former president has previously suggested prosecuting his rivals would be legitimate revenge for his own legal troubles, which include one criminal conviction in New York state court and three other criminal cases. Painter said that argument ignores some stark differences between Trump’s own situation and what he is threatening to do.

“Joe Biden never campaigned on a promise to put Donald Trump in prison,” Painter said. “When Donald Trump engaged in the conduct he did, an independent prosecutor was appointed,” he added, referring to special counsel Jack Smith, who has significant independence from Justice Department leadership and secured grand jury indictments in the two federal cases Trump faces, one alleging Trump unlawfully attempted to subvert the 2020 election and the other alleging he mishandled classified documents”.

 

“Trump Pledges to Jail” Election Opponents, Fabricates “The Big Lie”

As The Washington Post reported, “Trump pledges to jail opponents, baselessly suggests election will be stolen from him.” In advance of the upcoming election, Donald Trump is again telling the big lie about voter fraud and stolen elections and is again inspiring people to anger and priming the pump for violence. Trump has a demonstrated track record for inspiring and inciting violence using his transparent election lies. Yet the institutions of government seem disinclined to do anything about it, notwithstanding the fact that Trump is intent on replicating the circumstances that produced the violence of January 6, 2021.

 

Trump promoted a video featuring an extreme close-up photo of his face in black and white, and audio of him making an obvious threat: “If you f— around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”

Trump posts disturbing baseball bat photo with Alvin Bragg, threatens ‘death and destruction’

Former President Donald Trump has sparked outrage by sharing images of him holding a baseball bat next Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s head.

March 24, 2023: Trump threatened “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged in New York — writing the shocking social media warning after posting an image of himself holding a baseball bat next to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s head. Trump shared the image of himself holding a baseball bat — with Bragg’s hands up — on his Truth Social platform Thursday as he devoted his day to attacking the prosecutor for pursuing a case over a “hush money” payout to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump PROVES he’s a LAWLESS THUG who should be ARRESTED and LOCKED UP for making threats: “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” & “If you f— around with us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before & threatening “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged for his crimes in New York.

This is how MOB BOSSES and CRIMINALS behave and is more PROOF that Trump IS the Most Lawless, Corrupt & Dangerous President in History

 

Trump Threatens NY DA Alvin Bragg in violation of NY state law

Former President Donald Trump threatened New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as Bragg investigates and prepares to indict Trump for his earlier New York crimes. Specifically, Trump indicates there will be “death and destruction” if Bragg indicts hims. Then, Trump commits a second crime by posting a picture of himself, holding a baseball bat, mid-swing, next to a picture DA Bragg whose hand is upraised as if in a defensive posture., who

This conduct by Trump violates New York penal law section 195.05, obstructing governmental administration in the second degree: “a person is guilty of obstructing governmental administration in the second degree when that person intentionally . . . attempts to prevent a public servant from performing an official function, by means of intimidation or interference . . . ”

When the NY grand jury reconvenes on Monday, they should be presented this evidence of Trump’s threats and add two additional charges to the indictment of Donald Trump – one for the “death and destruction” post and one for the baseball bat post.
