In an EO, #Trump hit the elite firm w/many of the same penalties that he had applied to its competitors who had taken on cases or causes he did not like.
He directed the cancellation of all govt contracts w/ #WilmerHale, & the suspension of any #security clearances of its employees. The order also barred WilmerHale employees from federal buildings [Federal Court buildings fall into the category], banned them from communicating w/govt employees & prevented them from being hired at govt agencies.
Other elite #law firms have been hit w/similar sanctions, leaving them to choose whether to fight the orders or cut a *deal* w/ #Trump to remove the restrictions, even as a judge has already blocked one of the orders because it is likely to be unlawful.
The order said Trump was in part punishing #WilmerHale for the firm’s connections to #Mueller, who led an inquiry that the order described as “one of the most partisan investigations in American history.”
@Nonilex I mean, how can these high power law firms NOT unleash legal hell on this orangutan??
