Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s 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.

He was said to be a Republican when he took the CBS Evening News anchor chair. He only stayed a few years IIRC. He never shrinks from the toughest issues.

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.

I love Marc Elias! He is a true gift. I’d really love it if he went further, but at least he’s giving us SOMETHING.

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.

has Started this Law Firm.. So We Patriots have more Help On the Way.

Newly launched law firm says it will represent those 'inappropriately targeted' by Trump

Snip~

Attorney Abbe Lowell, who has represented high-profile clients including Hunter Biden and Jared Kushner, says the new firm, Lowell & Associates, will provide legal representation and counsel to individuals and institutions "facing politicized investigations, civil and administrative actions," according to a press release announcing the new venture.

"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.
