Jason, I appreciate you are a member of GOP who has spoken out against Trump. But you are listed as a lawyer at @FoleyandLardner and your law partner is the main lawyer advising Trump on the sedition you speak against. You need to take a stand against Foleys support of this.

If you're seeking to assist your client in committing a crime you don't give a shit about ethics.

I am not an attorney, and I don't play one on TV, but I think she is guilty as hell.

By engaging in a criminal conspiracy with her client, she has blown the attorney client privilege.
