Karp went out of his way to humiliate himself and his firm to propitiate Trump. Why would anyone entrust their legal affairs to a firm chaired by someone like this?
Huge Lowell in the Guardian granulates Karp’s deplorable, completely unnecessary betrayal. A judge had already ruled that Trump’s similar persecution of the Perkins Coie firm was probably unconstitutional.
“The deal with Paul, Weiss materialized in recent days over the course of several stunning moves that neither a major law firm of its ilk nor a president has perhaps ever countenanced,” Lowell’s sources said.
Did Karp really think it was necessary to voluntarily curtail DEI initiatives at Paul,Weiss? Does he have any idea how he has besmirched his firm?
Again, we see how problematic intellectual intelligence can be when uninformed by ethics or emotional intelligence.
Karp is so unprincipled that he penned a statement accusing the firm’s alum David Pomerantz of “wrongdoing” because Pomerantz attempted to hold Trump responsible for his crimes.
“I engaged in no wrongdoing by working as a prosecutor to uphold the rule of law,” Pomerantz said in a statement.
Paul, Weiss has now positioned itself at the cutting edge of Trump’s campaign to eradicate law and order in this country, to put himself above the law.
Paul, Weiss clients should move to Perkins Coie.
