Ho-Lee-Smokes: Trump Scores YUGE Victory Over Lawfare Firm
2025-03-21
[HotAir] This is incredible. Not only did President Trump just manage to compel an elite law firm to admit wrongdoing by its former partner, Mark Pomerantz—the architect of NY’s lawfare against him—but he also secured $40 million in free legal work for causes of his choosing.

Trump was way too kind.

Recall, dear Reader, that in 2023 Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg brought felony charges of falsifying business records against former President Trump for payments his lawyer, Michael Cohen made five years earlier to Stormy Daniels, then billed back to a Trump trust.

#4  Ah. I figured there was something clever there — I didn’t think of algebra. :-D Thank you for explaining, swksvolFF.

#3  Not to step on Airandee's clever quip:

Equals only 40 hours of Pro Bono time, instead of, say, $5,000/hour = 8,000 work hours.

As a comparison, one I was talking to about a rather day-to-day case wanted $100/hour including billable driving time (Working Kansas Lawyer Prices), 400,000 work hours.

#2  Please explain the joke, Airandee — I don’t know anything about such things.
