8. Law firms aren't often partisan. I know staunch Dem partners at K&E. But they all care about MONEY.

Most big law firms are not terribly partisan.
Most big law partners operate fairly independently -- big partners are like little businesses inside the firms. They raise their own money, find their own clients.
Kirkland and Ellis isn't bad as a firm.

What firms all care about is MONEY. They are mostly all craven tools of billionaires. If corporations and billionaires throw money at them, they'll do their bidding.

What we need are stronger rules about money in politics - dark money that influences both politicians and firms.

That said, I think the Concord defender attorneys, who are literally taking Russian money to prosecute a case against America, should be fired by their firm immediately.

10. If you want to get angry at a law firm, look at Reed Smith (Eric Dubelier, partner)

THESE two attorneys are literally taking Russian money to prosecute a case against America.

Judge blasts lawyers for Russian firm charged by Mueller

A judge publicly slammed the defense lawyers for a Russian company criminally charged by special counsel Robert Mueller, accusing the firm’s attorneys of submitting unprofessional and inappropriate court filings attacking Mueller’s office and of unwisely peppering legal briefs with jarring quotes taken from movies like Animal House.

“I’ll say it plain and simple: knock it off,” U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich told lawyers for the Russian company, Concord Management and Consulting, at a brief court hearing in Washington Monday morning.


The tone and content of the submissions from Concord’s combative attorneys, Eric Dubelier and Kate Seikaly, in past months has been unusual for lawyers practicing in federal court. A filing last week quoted both the British 19th Century historian Lord Acton and a slightly sanitized expletive uttered by the somewhat less erudite “Otter,” a fraternity brother in the 1970s classic Animal House.

Concord Management has hired Reed Smith as their legal team. Partners Eric A. Dubelier (who according to his firm profile has a practice that focuses on international and domestic regulatory compliance and enforcement matters, white-collar criminal litigation, and civil false claims litigation) and Katherine J. Seikaly (her practice is in government and internal investigations, regulatory compliance and enforcement matters, and related litigation, with particular focus on the False Claims Act (FCA)) made their appearance on behalf of Concord Management last month. They’ve made a bunch of discovery requests seeking non-public information — and, as Politico reports, the requests seem to be a calculated move:

15. Only this one: Neil Eggleston - former White House Counsel under President Barack Obama

I don't know anything about him though, he did serve President Obama.

But the largest percentage were appointed by pResident Trumpery.

11. It all goes back to Nixon

Each consecutive RepubliCON president is worse than the last. Each gathering together the minions of the last criminal presidential gang. Promoting the other's henchmen, secretly hiding them from the law when out of power. Each new rendition more criminal, more traitorous, more corrupt than the last because No One held them accountable.

Only one was an attempted impeachment. In some, prosecution began after they had trampled the government and the law into the ground, after they had already left office. In others, when the opposition had finally defeated them, they intimidated the other party into declaring no one would be held accountable, no one ould be impeached, no torturers would be prosecuted.

So, now the mosters wonder through the political landscape hurting and maiming, abusing and torturing, stealing and conning. They break the law without punishment getting bigger and bigger, corrupting everything they touch.

Barr acts like he's over and above the entire proceeding, like he's missing his 5 pm cognac. He's definitely a liar, like the rest of them.
