Nicolle Wallace asked Elias why universities and law firms are caving to Krasnov and paying him protection money when the universities and law firms who refuse to pay and go to court are winning in court?
Elias said that some are caving because of fear of reprisals, but then he said that universities and law firms are seeking out Krasnov and paying him money in order to get favorable treatment from him. In other words, Elias said some universities and law firms are complicit, doing quid pro quos. Some law firms who are giving Krasnov free legal service are doing so willingly, and Elias would know about law firms.

(32,789 posts)who are willingly providing free legal service and making it look like they were coerced to do so. Krasnov, or should I say Russell Vought, wants to control what is taught and who teaches at universities, and even who is admitted. The decision from the court that the money Krasnov withheld from Harvard was illegal was a big deal, if it stands.
