Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trumps actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

(52,346 posts)I was hoping to hear one accusation against Trump, that hasn't come up yet. It's a legal term that basically means targeting a business to keep them in check. I heard it a week ago, and it didn't sit firmly in my memory.

(4,560 posts)Marc Elias should be the next AG when we elect the next Democratic President.
He doesn't fuck around! I really believe if he had been AG during Biden's term, tRump would be in jail right now.

"This firm is prepared for today's dynamic legal landscape, offering a leaner model than larger firms can provide," Lowell said in a statement. "I started my private practice career in my own firm and am excited to once again lead a small yet nimble team ready to represent companies, non-profits and individuals in need of our experience and dedication.
