Skadden Arps?
Itās getting so you canāt tell the law firms from the Star Wars characters without a fiction-smelling dog to assist you.
Everything Manafort touches is corruptible.
Skadden Oops it seems. Thatās where Van der Zwaan worked. Remember him? I think his was the very first plea deal.
Skadden, Arps, Meagher(?), Flom. White-shoe sleaze for more than 35 years. This was a serious sweetheart deal, considering that they just settled a possible firm-destroying felony charge for the amount of money they billed their dirty client. On the other hand, the entire investigative resources of the federal government versus a deeply connected large law firm would be about even, and the cost of such an investigation would be astronomical.
Disbarment time and criminal charges. No more letting the big dudes off while petty criminals go to jail,
Fortunately george lucas never had a thing for russian-sounding names.
āIāll tell you why itās not a scam. In my opinion, all right? Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You canāt explain that.ā

Once again, as predictably as a sunrise, nobody with a white collar spends a nanosecond in jail.
Can you spell Iā¢Mā¢Pā¢Uā¢Nā¢Iā¢Tā¢Y? I knew you could.
iām really having a hard time with all these white collar assholes being able to change their filings, retroactively register for things they got caught out on. they did the crime, and got busted. why do they get a pass? these motherfuckers need to be prosecuted. same goes for kushner with his fucking security filing nonsense.
Hah. Thatās good. Laughed out loud at that one.
ā¦But seriously, folks!
I thought the name rang a bell for me and sure enough, I confirmed itās the firm Malcolm Gladwell references in his book, Outliersāthe one Joe Flomm built into a powerhouse.
For all the outrage over the white collars getting off without jail time, Mueller does have limited resources and the scope of his investigation is enormous. If I was to take a guess, by getting the law firm to plead on this, heās cut the leg off the defense for individual lawyers involved with this. That will pressure the individual lawyers to plead and flip.
Heās building his case brick by brick, and is focused on moving up the food chain rather than getting bogged down with every crime he uncovers.
Itās not clear to me from article whether the 20 congressmen got the report or not.
Nasty business this. They imprisoned that woman with the braids who was the election opponent. This is where Flynn et all got the, āLock Her Upā chant. Chilling this shit is.
Even better. Skaddenās full name is Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
Skadden Arpgs etc. is the goto firm for anything big on Wall street, it must be a pretty distressing for them to admit to this.
(If you read āpopularā books about Wall Street or big business (āLiars Pokerā, āThe Smartest Guys in the Roomā) there usually is an appearance of SAMF.
The now-imprisoned political consultant had hired Skadden to legitimize the prosecution of Tymoshenko in the eyes of human rights observers and European politicians, who viewed her imprisonment as an act of political retribution.
Thatā¦ that right there.
How the hell do you justify that for a paycheck? It makes prostitution look like a noble profession. Hereās hoping Tymoshenko sues them into poverty.
So the Special Counsel makes another $5.2 million. After all of the other fines, seizures and forfeituresā¦ I would have to say that the turnip headed republican in the White House was (and is) WRONG to say that the investigation is costing too much. And if there is any justice, maybe the sale of the properties owned by the traitor at 1600 PA Ave will be used to make recompense to the taxpayers of the country.
When youāre being paid in hryvnia, that should be a sign.
And the Mueller Team continues to pay for itself.
Someone tell that to Grassley who recently said it was costing taxpayers ābillionsā
.
They have a reputation of being one of the most cutthroat firms for associates anywhere.
