Trump Indicted

Read some emails about it. They deleted themselves from my saved emails a few years ago...
 
Could very well be lowered for the Nashville shooting.
 
What did the tweet say?
 
Thanks. That certainly makes LK’s post seem ridiculous.
 
Trump has hired Todd Blanche, who was most recently a partner at law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. Blanche has previously represented Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and Igor Fruman, a former associate of Rudy Giuliani who was also a key figure in Trump’s first impeachment trial.
How the eff do you leave one of the most successful firms in the country to represent Manafort, Igor Fruman, and Trump?
 
Cadwalader took him off the website real quick.

So why exactly did he have to leave the white collar defense division of a prestigious law firm to be the defense lawyer of a prestigious client indicted for white collar crime?
That part is not surprising actually. The firm didn't want to be associated with Trump or his cronies. Lots of firms, minus Jones Day and Squire Patton Boggs, have kept away from Trump land.
 
That makes sense, but this quote suggests there's more to it than the firm doesn't want to be associated with Trump, especially if he's represented Trumpers like Manafort before.

In his resignation email, Blanche said he was unable to take Trump as a client while remaining at Cadwalader, New York City’s oldest law firm and one of its most elite. “Obviously, doing this as a partner at Cadwalader was not an option, so I have had to make the difficult choice to leave the firm.”
