@heidilifeldman But not for the capitulation, which tells you all you need to know about Paul Weiss. And he's not leaving the firm because of his relationship with Epstein.

@IzzyChambers I am re-evaluating the capitulation episode now.

@Virginicus Lots of other firms capitulated and are now collaborating with Trump. Skadden, Willkie, Kirkland, Latham, AO Shearman, Milbank.

@IzzyChambers Maybe we should be looking for their officers in the #EpsteinFiles , too.

@Virginicus Not a bad idea. Although I think that most big law firms are so concerned about their profits per partner that any risk to that must be addressed. Hence the deals with Trump.
