His tiny firm was never going to be able to handle a fast-paced, professional asshole of a client project like this - according to President Bullshit Artist, they're already shoring up the hole.

Shalom Baranes Assoc. is a legit DC firm, and looks to be mid-size. 11 Principals, so maybe 40, 50 total staff? Their portfolio is NOT Neo-Classical. No one's is.

Of course, taking this on will destroy them. The Leadership doesn't look like Repukes, either.
