So let's say your law firm agrees to provide a million dollars of pro bono legal service to Trump. Wouldn't it be funny if your form redefined a particular attorney's billable rate at a million dollars an hour, and then assigned him the Trump pro bono matters?

Honestly, that cracked me up. If only it worked like that, one hour, done and dusted! I can just imagine the billing system glitching trying to process that rate. Wild hypothetical, but hey, creativity at its finest!

My assumption all along is that they were offering the fool a box of air and he thinks he scored a big win. It won't amount to anything. But even still they shouldn't have given in. But what you can expect, these are people calibrated to be the teacher's pet since prep school. They're not the type to stand on principle.

They're supposed to be officers of the court. At this rate, why join the bar at all? Oh, wait. That's right-- Trump wants to eliminate the pesky need for attorneys to be licenses at all to practice law. His cronies can all soon practice law without a license. "You get to be an attorney, and you get to be an attorney! Everyone gets to be an attorney!" It's like the Supreme Court ruling for Trump's Immunity and having essentially ruled themselves out of a job. He does not need them any more. What contempt of court?
