    So, let me take a moment to be sure I don’t overstate what I’m about to say

    Trump is a soulless fat frog who may in fact be satan himself. Every thought, every impulse, ever plan he has is unconstitutional, evil and indiscriminate.

    Jail. For life. That where he will be

    Man, I bet all those other law firms that agreed to pay him millions of dollars in free legal fees, must be so embarrassed right now. You’d think high priced lawyers would know what he was doing was illegal…but, no!

      I wouldn’t want to rely upon the legal services of a law firm that I’d just extorted. Seems…risky.

        I certainly wouldn’t want to be represented by someone who can so easily be intimidated. Look how easily they rolled over. All it took was an obviously illegal threat, and they took a knee without hesitation. Fucking pathetic.

      It’s not so much that they didn’t know it was illegal but that with a stacked supreme court it wasn’t clear (and maybe still isn’t? Not sure whether Trump can appeal this decision) whether it being obviously unconstitutional would matter.

        Oh, no…it’s clear-cut extortion. And coming from the government, it’s highly illegal for them to go after independent law firms like this. What’s really bizarre, is how fast some of those law firms caved. They didn’t even fight…they just rolled over and paid the ransom.
