Donald Trump's campaign against elite law firms, deemed 'rogue,' seems motivated by personal vendettas rather than noteworthy legal issues. The president's proclamations accuse these firms of harmful practices, maintaining an aggressive tone against those linked to investigations or figures critical of him. Notably, the list includes firms like Covington & Burling, which provided legal services to Jack Smith, and Perkins Coie, known for its ties to Hillary Clinton. This challenge to these firms exemplifies a larger struggle placed within the context of maintaining order against perceived lawlessness.
So a few megarich corporations who help make mega-megarich corporations even richer stand to get a little less rich? We've got bigger problems.
Lawyers stand in the way of lawlessness, so anyone hoping to subvert the established order might want to start by chucking all us pesky J.D.'s in the river.
Trump has now targeted a string of elite law firms for reasons that are equal parts Machiavelli, Mean Girls, and Dick.
This is entirely about retribution, personal and political.
