He started there B4 Trump came after the firm

It would appear that the large firms are working hard to live up to the image we all have of lawyers. Any good ones should be livid that they will be dragged down with them.

Should we be shocked? Americans voted for this after being told who they are for decades. Accountability matters, for them and the voters who voted. Every vote matters.

Reminds me of all the businesses that went along with Hitler’s Germany. Cowards.

I'm floored. Just why? It's not hard to stand on your convictions. Unless maybe your conventions were always for sale?

This is troubling, attorneys live and breathe the law. This authoritative administration is working to tear down our federal government from the inside, from the executive branch. Trump is violating his oath to the constitution and the American people.

Doesn't exactly dispel the bad name "lawyers" have...

I do not understand. Maybe former First Gentleman can explain

That's very disappointing. Wasn't expecting that. May end up costing Kamala.

White men suck that’s how

@kamalahqrepeater.bsky.social NOT OK!

We will remember

Well, failed democracies work that way.

Turns out that the American obsession with wealth, would be what finally did her in. Everyone wants to make more money. Who cares if it kills them.

Me either

Anyone who hires a lawyer who bows down to a king is a fool.

Lack of principles is not limited to a class, profession, or political party. I've heard various reasons, or speculation on why some firms caved with many coming down to money. If that's the case, if is bowing because they can continue to make money, then they told us who they are. Sad.

Maybe you don’t want lawyers who will cave in to the other side

Pathetic! How can anybody trust them? They can't fight back for themselves, but they expect their clients to trust them to fight for them. No way! Show some courage.

It’s absolutely shameful.

Can they charge him $100 million per hour?

Damn these fucking cowards

shakespeare weighed in on this once

This is a well thought out plan. Trump didn't plan it. He's too stupid.

Think about it this way: the law firms that cave in to Trump are like prostitutes who work for their pimp.

Corporate law is easy prey for a mobster like Trump. Why? Rather than firms binding together for the principle of law, they quiver in self-imposed isolation as if they are simply running autonomous street-corner lemonade stands. Law as Constitutional Virtue dies. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/b...

It won’t be. I think the vast majority of them are awakening to the danger, and today’s elections told us the Republican brand is in big trouble.

As always, follow the money. Glorified ambulance chasers.

Bunch of cowards!

Are they redacting names in the Epstein files with each new deal?

As a former Legal Aid social worker, I'm proud I cared about the people not the money. Watching these law firms sell out is 🤢🤑🤮

Emoff needs a new law firm. WTF

Right?! Once you lift the bonnet, there doesn’t seem to be much there.

Aka Floridians scape Cuba for what hey Marco Rubio

They’re afraid ( chicken iow) www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

WTF I am disgusted.

I have learned a lot over the past few years about our government and legal system and the 1 take away from it has been how corrupt the republicans are and how they rewrite rules to their benefit. Truly disgusting.

I assume Mr. Emhoff has moved on.

Dishonorable to themselves and also to the profession. Big law is big business.

He should just sue his own law firm. I would.

Right!?! I cannot imagine he’s okay with this!

Money corrupts.

The headlines are nuts. Doug Emhoff was an entertainment lawyer and wasn’t part of that firm since 2021 prior to 1/6/21.

I hadn’t thought of it either. Makes complete sense, though.

Yep.

It was law firms or the military

As always, money talks. Is there any bigger sucker for the buck than law firms?!

Unbelievable!

Well, they do spend a lot of time with criminals.

You fucking idiots

Of course, why wouldn't there be. More of the same, those who portrayed themselves as champions of Democracy standing firm........ for their money.

😢😢😢😢😢

Why not? Trump's only card is the countersuit

Why are these firms bending over?

If I were this firm I’d make sure to milk it with my worst atty. Oh wait, that’s already Dopeys tactic. Ok then, I’d charge him $10M/ hr.

WTAF???!!!

No!!!!

It’s highly disappointing

Suckin' up. What happens when the Orange Nazi goes to prison? Or he doesn't get a 3rd term? Those are BIG firms. Would "the bigger they are, the harder they fall" end up working?

They could have all taken a stand together. Assholes.

That’s still a problem because it makes it look like he has power when he doesn’t. It’s all snake oil manipulation.

The deals and shit are the same as Canada and Mexico. It’s already things they are doing, they’re just letting him say it this way to get him to go away.

My thoughts are that if these firms are this chickenshit why would Democrats use them in the future? Hell, it doesn't take a crack top lawyer to capitulate to an unconstitutional threat.

Disgusting. I do understand it’s probably cheaper to settle, but that misses the point and sets a really bad precedent.

Thank you very very much Adam you deserve everything that you have asked for thank you for helping America.

He is such a bitter, bitter little man. This is all about revenge for him and we can see right through the BS!

WTF?

What can law firms actually do? What does it mean to be targeted by the federal govt? Why are they caving so easily???

After the Lawyer's Attempted Coup of 2021 this is pretty predictable

What @timothysnyder.bsky.social calls obeying in advance

Highly disappointing bsky.app/profile/marc...

I can't wrap my head around this. What is going on with everyone cowering to him?????

These firms have "too much to lose". You know who has nothing to lose and will never cave? The PEOPLE. It's our last chance.

You were GOP, how can you have so underestimated the rank immorality of most Republicans? At some point, you had to sense it.

Well, eventually they won’t have a law firm, won’t be any need, trump will be the law.

Wtaf?

Like everything else in this greedy country. It’s all about the money. Greed is taking us down. Greed is not good. It’s in the book not many read.

This is gut wrenching to read.

a law firm capitulating to this guy! I don't get it. If any type of company has the arsenal to fight back, you would think it would be a law firm

It's always been the law that has been the primary tool of oppression. Slavery was legal... should tell us all we should ever need to know.

What are they doing?

😳

What does this deal do for them and the felon? Free legal counsel or what?

I know. I’m actually shocked. He’s only going to keep coming after them. And where is the honor and pride in what they’ve spent their entire lives on. #Shameful

Agree!

So infuriating.

Yes, and they should use it against them. Trump is poison.

WTF??

Mother of God. This has to stop now.

WHY? Just WHY are these law firms rolling over for this felon, traitor, and overall asshole? I ask you?

I actually find it very disturbing that not one damn Returdlican in office said a word.

Very sad news

Seriously, wtf????

For real....so disgusting. Don't they realize that Trump will be coming back for me, and won't let up on criticizing them at all.

If Dougie-boo doesn't resign, we'll know Kamala is as questionable as Trusk. Besides, we all know the Democrats need to run somebody new - not a tired, rich retread.

He knows he's going to be needing representation, so why not get it for free. 🤬

Goddamnit people

What the hell??!!! So many spineless wussies!

F’ing sellouts!These faux lawyers who can’t stand up against an suthoritarian who does not hide his dislike of the constitution should all be boycotted.How can you confidently believe they will represent you?COWARDS

I’m sick.

Didn’t you tho Adam? I am not surprised. Disappointed yes. Surprised no. These law firms live in the DC bubble. 1314 days until his term is over. Deal with the devil.

Read the history of law firms in Yeltsin’s and Putin’s Russia … that’s the blueprint here

Disheartening

As an attorney myself, I don't understand how they could cower to this bully. Our job is to fight.

Disgusting.

But are we really surprised? So many people are showing their true colors

And by Doug Emhoff's firm to boot. They will not be on the right side of history.

$$$

This is sick

He needs to resign immediately.

Breathtaking cowardice. petersironwood.com/2019/11/24/b...

They are spineless

Why would anyone hire any of these law firms? If they’re so quick to capitulate to unconstitutional bullying, how hard will they really fight for you? I like my lawyers with a spine

Sickening

Traitors
