And Justice For All...
1. Like other top law firms, the law firm at which Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris's husband, is a partner, has cut a deal with Trump.
2. Among various concessions, the firm has agreed to gut its DEI programs and to take on, pro bono, clients fighting alleged antisemitism.
3. Emhoff was brought into the firm, as a partner, in January. His specific portfolio was to advise corporations about “matters with significant reputational concerns.”
4. Emhoff's firm announced its deal with Trump just hours after Emhoff told Georgetown Law students that “the rule of law is under attack. Democracy is under attack. And so, all of us lawyers need to do what we can to push back on that." "Us lawyers have always been on the frontlines, fighting for civil rights, for justice. … I love being a lawyer, this is what we do: We fight for people. We fight for what’s right.”
5. In the last two weeks, Trump has been marveling at the capitulation of various law firms to his demands. “They’re all bending and saying, ‘Sir, thank you very much,’” Trump has said. “Law firms are just saying, ‘Where do I sign? Where do I sign?’”
6. Kamala Harris is currently deciding whether to run for governor of California or make a second run for president in 2028.
