Jones Day, law firm representing Trump's campaign, beginning to recoil at their treasonous task

[bigtree]

...yet, keep on treasoning.

“Some senior lawyers at Jones Day are worried the firm is advancing arguments that lack evidence and may be helping Mr. Trump and his allies undermine the integrity of American elections, according to interviews with nine partners and associates.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/09/business/jones-day-trump-election-lawsuits.html

Steve Inskeep @NPRinskeep 5m
“Six Jones Day lawyers said... the main goal of the litigation seemed to be to erode public confidence in the election results.” Yet Jones Day continues representing Trump’s campaign, which is raising “legal defense” money in part to retire campaign debt.

1. Zero integrity sophists

Sickenimg.

2. There will be a reckoning.

There should be no doubt about that. Enablers like the people at Jones Day better choose wisely.

3. Well they represented Wal Mart

in the opioid lawsuit so I figure they will do anything for a buck.

[DonaldsRump]

4. This is Don McGahn's law firm n/t

[DFW]

5. Aren't they in the least concerned about future business?

They sound like the firm that took over the account of the Japanese government's PR campaign on December 8, 1941.

6. Hey all you sEnIoR LaWyErS At JoNeS DaY

Stand up rise up do the right thing, big shots

DO THE RIGHT THING, GODDAMIT

7. Seems to me they should be smart enough to know they aren't

Going to be paid. They will be dragged down with Trump.

[TomSlick]

9. They are smart enough to not expect to be paid by Trump.

I'm sure they either have one hell of a retainer or have the RNC on the hook for the fee.

Nevertheless, this is a terribly short-sighted decision. I would expect engaging in frivolous lawsuits that endanger the republic will cost them clients.

[Buckeyeblue]

31. That's what I was thinking. Do they know this one is a freebie?

[Brother Mythos]

33. With these kinds of people, it's always about the money.

[mercuryblues]

10. In other words, the check bounced

[kairos12]

11. Stochastic scum.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Isn't the whole idea to force an audit, like Trump's taxes, so the results are never released?

[treestar]

13. The purpose of the lawsuits is to placate Dotard

which is a rule 11 violation.

And that is exactly the Dotard's goal, to undermine confidence in the election.

14. The Susan Collins of law firms?

They’re concerned. Disturbed. Troubled.

But they won’t drop him.

[Illumination]

15. Jones Day should do the right thing & run (don't walk) from even a HINT of

treasonous behavior about the Trump campaign! They already have an extremely poor track record! Everything Trump is involved with turns to sh**. Jones Day will be no exception...

[dflprincess]

16. Hope they got their money up front

on the hand, if they haven't, they'll suddenly find their consciences when the bill goes unpaid.

[LudwigPastorius]

17. Trump's conscientious lawyers?

(There's three words you never thought you'd see in a row.)

[Gothmog]

18. I am not surprised at this

19. Today's law firms

are a cut-throat enterprise and would represent Putin himself, if it would make them a buck.

Jones Day deserves special media attention for this.

[BigmanPigman]

20. Keith Olbermann basically said the same thing today and laughed

at their predictable, lame assed BS. The GOP and their cult is a joke.

[Orangepeel]

21. ya think?

I'm starting to wonder if acting like an asshole makes people think I'm an asshole

[cstanleytech]

22. I foresee ethics investigations and complaints in that firms future.

[lindysalsagal]

23. "persecuted souls...." I'm supposed to feel badly for frump's lawyers????

Yeah. Sure. That'll happen.

[Gothmog]

24. Marc Elias is proud to being representing democracy and the right to vote

[BobTheSubgenius]

26. He should be proud.

He is doing honourable work - there is little more honourable legal work in a democracy than defending it.

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. "Shortsighted???"

There is no favour to be curried any more. Representing a new President who seemed like a lion, if you squinted hard and turned your head sideways, must have seemed like a nice move for raising the firm's profile. What is there now? Tying yourself to a sinking ship, with a very loud and crude crew.

No point in them doing this at all.

[Leghorn21]

27. FWIW, the Lincoln Project is comin for them

@JonesDay, we’ll see you soon.

Every one of the lawyers who Trump uses in effort to suppress the vote should be exposed. Their firms should be held accountable. Corporate clients should be asked why they are working with lawyers who are trying to derail democracy. Hold them responsible. https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins

[Reed’s a cofounder of LP)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. I am not surprised to see the LP involved here.

They are relentless.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

30. So, they thought Conligula was hiring them for noble purposes?

Riiiiiiiight.

[Takket]

32. Every one of these firms

Should be household names and lawyers involved in frivolous attempts to undermine the country should be disbarred.
