YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAccording to new reports, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Boris Epshteyn has been working out deals with the major law firms that Trump has targeted with executive orders to get them to cave to Trump. So far, at least 5 major firms that Trump has targeted have agreed to do pro bono work for “causes Trump supports,” which could either mean representing him in the future or representing conservative groups in various legal cases. This is beyond insane, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Donald Trump has been using his powers of President of the United States to go after the law firms that either went after him or have hired people that he doesn't like, that he perceives as his political enemies. So he has signed executive order after executive order, specifically targeting certain law firms, revoking security clearances, announcing investigations because they're doing DEI and in other ways trying to punish them because he doesn't like them. And time after time after time, including this past weekend when another five law firms capitulated to Donald Trump, they all bend the knee. Almost all I should say, there's a couple of, except exceptions, a few law firms that have not bent the knee to Donald Trump. But what most people don't realize is what bending the knee to Trump means. And before I explain to you what these law firms have agreed to do for Trump, let me tell you what's happening behind the scenes.
According to a new report, Donald Trump's personal lawyer, who is not a part of the White House at all, Boris Epstein, who as we all know is indicted in Arizona last summer, so he could end up in jail. But Boris Epstein, according to reports, has been going to these law firms, emailing them, calling them, talking to these people, trying to get them to work out deals with the Trump administration so that they are not the next ones, targeted by an executive order that shouldn't exist in the first place. I mean, after all, if Donald Trump wanted to revoke security clearances or launch investigations, you, you, you just say, I'm doing that. You, you don't have to have a, a, an executive order for that. You just want it to do it to show your power and flex your muscle, which didn't even need to happen. You just kinda look like a dictatorial idiot.
But either way, Epstein is going around already pre-con convincing these lawyers and law firms to bend the need of Trump before he forces them to do it, and he's having mixed success. But here is what these law firms have agreed to according to a report from the New York Times, these law firms, again, who are targeted for, we're losing security clearances. We're being investigated for DEI. These law firms have agreed to give hundreds of millions of dollars worth of pro bono legal work to quote causes that Donald Trump supports now causes that Donald Trump supports could mean anything. It could mean representing Donald Trump when he leaves office in a little under four years and gets sued by everybody under the sun or still has other criminal, legal proceedings to go
Through, through that could be that. It could be representing an organization that Donald Trump likes. You know, hey, the Heritage Foundation wants to sue these leftist states for doing some kind of leftist policy. Go represent them. But one unspoken rule I think is very important. It's not just you now owe me all of this legal work, which the New York Times puts at a total of $940 million in pro bono legal work has been pledged to Donald Trump from these corporate law firms. But, but the other understanding is you don't sue me if a client walks in and says, I need to sue the administration over this policy. I need to sue Donald Trump for defamation, which he's currently being sued for. These law firms will say, get the hell out of my office. That's our guy. We like him. We can't sue him because we made a deal That is a dereliction of duty of these law firms turning away clients because you've made a deal with somebody else.
