New: Trump signs executive order targeting the lawfirm Wilmer Hale for hiring former Russian investigation Special Counsel Robert Mueller and two colleagues, suspending its attorneys from holding security clearances and accessing federal govt buildings.
The text:
Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP (WilmerHale) is yet another law firm that has abandoned the profession’s highest ideals and abused its pro bono practice to engage in activities that undermine justice and the interests of the United States. For example, WilmerHale engages in obvious partisan representations to achieve political ends, supports efforts to discriminate on the basis of race, backs the obstruction of efforts to prevent illegal aliens from committing horrific crimes and trafficking deadly drugs within our borders, and furthers the degradation of the quality of American elections, including by supporting efforts designed to enable noncitizens to vote. Moreover, WilmerHale itself discriminates against its employees based on race and other categories prohibited by civil rights laws, including through the use of race-based “targets.”
WilmerHale is also bent on employing lawyers who weaponize the prosecutorial power to upend the democratic process and distort justice. For example, WilmerHale rewarded Robert Mueller and his colleagues — Aaron Zebley, Mueller’s “top aide” and “closest associate,” and James Quarles — by welcoming them to the firm after they wielded the power of the Federal Government to lead one of the most partisan investigations in American history. Mueller’s investigation epitomizes the weaponization of government, yet WilmerHale claimed he “embodies the highest value of our firm and profession.”
The Smithsonian Institution—once revered throughout the world as a symbol of American excellence—has recently promoted divisive ideology that American and Western values are harmful.The American Art Museum currently features an exhibit that purports to address how “sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism” and claims that the United States has “used race to establish and maintain systems of power, privilege, and disenfranchisement.” The National Museum of African American History and Culture has proclaimed that “hard work,” “individualism,” and “the nuclear family” are aspects of “White culture.” The American Women’s History Museum plans to celebrate male athletes participating in women’s sports.

Any law firm can do pro bono work as they see fit. Just like conservative law firms have done for years.
His actions cannot be defended. Trump is trying to kneecap his legal opposition in the courts.
It is unprecedented and lawless.
You would be livid if the Democrat President did this.
Kasparov “Ceasefires and negotiations are a way of telling Russia you are weak. Dictators act only from strength and assume others do the same. If you wanted them to stop and were strong enough to stop them, you would. If you don't, it's a green light. Realize this is not a failure of Trump's negotiations. This is the actual point of Trump's negotiations, to protect Russia & Putin and to divide Ukraine into pieces and assets. There is no longer a charitable interpretation. It's Russia & USA vs Ukraine and Europe. I'll keep repeating this because I still see people speaking as though Trump has been tricked by Putin or that he and his incompetent administration are just ignorant. No. Trump & Musk are taking instructions and working to save Putin & Russia and to destroy and loot Ukraine“
Kasparov is an imbecile.
He's too stupid to understand what "strong enough to stop them, you would" even means.
Why the hell should the US fight a war for Ukraine or Europe?
Let the cowards like Kasparov leave their mansions and take their own children and go fight their own wars for a change.

Do you know who Kasparov is? I am not convinced you do.
Kasparov has been dead on predicting Putins actions over the years. Let’s mark this point in time and revisit who winds up being correct. A-Dolt or Kasparov.
I put my money on Kasparovs call that Trump and Putin are in for the Ukraine plunder. And they will ally in doing so.

We will see that manifest itself more every week.
In 2008, he predicted that Putin's regime would collapse no later than 2010.
In 2012, he said it wouldn't last until 2015.
In 2013, he said Putin would be overthrown before 2018.
The man hasn't been right yet. What has he been "dead on" about?
