From Trump’s deposition in the E. Jean Carroll case
Interesting point this - can you trust a firm that capitulates to the same authority against whom it’s representing you?
Microsoft has dropped a law firm that settled with the Trump administration in favor of one that is fighting the president’s executive orders, in a sign that those firms can still attract clients.

The tech giant instead engaged a firm that is fighting the president’s executive orders, Jenner & Block, in a sign that those firms can still attract clients.

A sentence I’ve never previously before written, but here we are: I would *love* to know how the US arms industry is feeling right now.
They’re not only facing the loss of contracts to replace gear sent to Ukraine, but the order pipeline from traditional US allies is…vanishing

“And God spoketh, but He was told that a verbal order does not matter as much as a written order.”
Karoline Leavitt claims that a judge's verbal order doesn't matter as much as a written order.
"Well, there's actually questions about whether a verbal order carries the same weight as a legal order -- as a written order. Our lawyers are determined to ask and answer those questions in court."
