“Paul, Weiss’s agreement to provide tens of millions of dollars of free labor to the administration inevitably makes them collaborators in Trump’s agenda and compromises the firm’s integrity. It also puts them in the same position as Columbia, constantly needing the administration’s approval to stave off new shakedowns. But the administration, like any bully, will keep attacking, will keep changing the terms, and no acquiescence will ever be sufficient. That’s exactly why bending the knee is such a bad idea.”
