The law firm of Jenner and Block, whom Trump tried to effectively give the death penalty to and put out of business because he doesn’t like their clients and lawyers, obtained ON THE SAME DAY, an injunction from Judge Bates blocking the Trump Administration from putting them out of business, and an injunction from Judge Burrows blocking Trump from putting Harvard out of business. Michael Popok provides his analysis that Trump really is a “uniter” — only emboldening courageous law firms to take on his Administration and zealously fight for righteous causes. Yes, that’s a backfire you hear in the distance… Pacagen: Get 15% OFF your order plus a special gift at https://Pacagen.com/legalaf Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!
