Somehow I don’t think that tactic Dubelier is attempting is going to fly.
Everyone is entitled to a defense, but why in the fuck this firm is soiling it’s reputation with this representation is beyond me. This isn’t like representing OJ or some celebrity criminal where the firm’s rep gets made despite the odiousness of the client. This is a treason and espionage investigation headed by one of the leading candidates for Most Upright Public Figure in America.
Aggressive defenses of treason and subversion of democracy by a hostile foreign power aren’t going to wash off of them. They’re rolling in shit and flinging it and they are not going to see a dividend later. There is such a thing as bad publicity. As every former Trump Administration employee who now can’t find a job now can attest.
And this is coming from me, Mr. Rule of Law, Everyone Gets a Defense, Stop Attacking Lawyers for Aggressively Defending their Clients is Wrong. This is a bad business decision with no moral stand dividend to compensate them for making it.
ETA: only think I can figure out is that they figure this is going to be a lucrative niche in the future that will give them all the work they want even if their other clients run away from the stench holding their noses.
That industrious little kid who mowed the White House lawn can’t even get a pooper-scooper job these days.
Worst. Career Move. Ever.
The investigation has moved into the both-sides-are-irked stage. Mueller prosecutors are irked now as well as Kushner and Jr. some time past (see TPM headlines). When we get to the both sides are delivering final arguments stage, wake me up!
Trump was pooping on the WH lawn? I know they don’t have a dog…did the kid wear a hazmat suit?
You mean Pickle is in a…pickle?
Are you saying his Deputy Secretary of the Department of Agriculture gig fell through? Sad.
Dubelier has taken a confrontational approach
Mobsters are like that.
He probably just had a sudden urge to get to the bathroom.
In every aspect of governance, Drumpf has degraded, defiled and destabilized the process. Heckuva job, Donnie.
Good thing you’re there to protect Ira from taking his place.
