Canadian Lawyer Magazine reports about how djt is going to deal with lawyers and the legal system whenever they get in the way:
Trump issues sweeping order against global law firm that represented enemies
President Donald Trump has escalated his campaign against legal firms associated with his political rivals, signing an executive order that severely restricts the operations of Perkins Coie. The order, signed on March 6, revokes security clearances for its employees, cancels government contracts with the firm, and limits its lawyers' access to federal buildings and officials. The move follows a similar order targeting Covington & Burling, which had provided legal services for Special Counsel Jack Smith.
While the previous action against Covington & Burling sought to strip security clearances and contracts, the Perkins Coie order extends beyond that, preventing its lawyers from accessing federal agencies and limiting their ability to work in government roles. Legal experts warn that this could set a precedent discouraging law firms from representing political adversaries, raising concerns over fairness in the legal profession.
Trump’s animosity toward Perkins Coie dates back to 2016 when two of its former attorneys, Marc Elias and Michael Sussmann, were linked to the FBI investigation into potential connections between Trump’s campaign and Russia. Although both attorneys have long since departed from the firm, the executive order denounces Perkins Coie’s role in the compilation of a dossier containing unverified allegations against Trump. The order accuses the firm of “undermining democratic elections, the integrity of our courts, and honest law enforcement.”
This is serious. Here, djt attacks lawyers and the legal system for doing what it is supposed to do. His accusations against the law firm are lies and defamation. What djt and MAGA elites clearly want to do is undermine democratic elections, the integrity of the courts, and honest law enforcement, precisely the things he falsely accuses the law firm of doing. The problem is, now as usual, djt cannot be prosecuted for any crimes or civil violations. He break laws, knowing that he will get away with it.
