#Trump has a new law firm target, btw. He's trying everything he can to destroy the legal system. Everything. And they're complying, one by one.
Exec order going after Wilmer Hale:

Spinless. Fools.
@GottaLaff He didn’t write that himself. He simply hasn’t got the necessary language in his vocabulary. But firms complying with his demands are destroying the final leg of what passed for democratic accountability in the USA. It will destroy them too.
@GottaLaff Knocking them down this fast means they get to the rest of the regular people that much faster.
There's a quote that ends "And then they came for me, but no one was left to speak for me." I hope we don't get there. #Resist
"Since World War II being an American has been easy.
We had defeated our enemies from without, and rested in the comforting knowledge that our Constitution would prevent attacks from within.
But we were wrong.
In truth the one most powerful position in our government was left dependent upon the honor system.
And a patriotic president.
So that when we elected an autocratic unpatriotic dishonorable president, there were no clear constitutional laws to constrain him."

Isn't the central allegation (the examples of abandonment of professionalism) an example of misrepresentation of lawful behaviour?
Isn't this order guilty of what it alleges others have done?
@GottaLaff he's even going after the enemies of Russia:
Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports.
A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

WTF?
REMOVE HIM!
@GottaLaff Whereunder all the jokes about lawyers being no-good, low-down, dirty, rotten, greedy, cheating, lying scoundrels - have come true. By their own admission.
