The Rules of Professional Conduct are not negotiable among ethical lawyers, and the A.G. has no rule over them, I believe. But the real issue is something beyond that... Trump is now doing a "soft" definition of ethics as "Woke" and is now working on getting Ethics demonized as much or more than the rest of WOKE. He renamed the Gulf of Mexico to a name HE chose. He's renamed buildings and institutions as HE wanted them to be known. He's renamed entire departments so that they sound so much like those in "1984." The only legacy he's thinking of leaving is a completely undone and re-imagined United States of America into something HE wants it to be named and defined by. That definition of this country will completely kill the Founders' Great Experiment. As with everything else, ETTD, the country to be included in that. We will be defined as a satellite state of Russia, sovereign in our own right no more; and the whole democratic leaning world against us. It's shameful. But it's very purposeful. He's demented, deranged, and lost in the behavioral issues of frontotemporal dementia. But even so, he has moments of lucidity to know that his emotional needs are not being met, and we are all to blame. Therefore, he will punish us even more because of our failing him.
Any cause or ideal we marched and protested for in the 60's and 70's will be demonized. I see this not only with trump, but with the way the repugs are matching him foot in mouth by foot in mouth. Nixon and the Bush's both hated "the hippies" and what we stood for. Slowly, we were making progress on some levels of our idealized world. The repugs picked up the banner to take us back to the dog-eat-dog days, and damn the hippies once and for all.
