'Eat their souls': Attorney gives grim warning to colleagues 'bending the knee' to Trump

If you're an attorney who wants to be able to "look yourself in the mirror," then don't cut a deal with Donald Trump. That's the advice from one former prosecutor.

Ex-federal prosecutor Joyce Vance on Sunday analyzed the latest installment of a law firm filing a lawsuit against Trump following several possibly illegal executive orders.

"Trump is also continuing his revenge tour, following up the two executive orders directed at individuals that we discussed Friday night with an order directed at Susman Godfrey, the law firm that successfully sued Fox News for defamation on behalf of Dominion Voting Systems, resulting in a $787.5 million settlement. Trump is desperately trying to relitigate the 2020 election. Apparently, it’s incredibly important to him to wipe out that loss," Vance wrote, adding, "Susman Godfrey fought back, with a lawsuit filed Friday night by former Obama Solicitor General Don Verrilli."

Vance continued:

"It’s good to see another law firm decide against bending the knee. Because here’s the fundamental truth: You can never do enough once you start. Today, it might be agreeing to provide $100 million in free legal services to the president’s favorite causes, such as his mention of using them to help coal companies lease federal land. Tomorrow it will be something else, and even worse, at some point, the deal these businesses thought would save them will eat their souls."

She then concluded, "Better to rip off the bandage now and be able to look at yourself in the mirror in the morning."
