Carville compares law firms working with Trump to Nazi collaborators – Washington Examiner
Political commentator james Carville has criticized law firms that have chosen to collaborate with former President Donald Trump in light of his executive orders, wich penalize firms that represented him unfavorably during the Mueller investigation. Carville likened these firms to Nazi collaborators, suggesting that they are betraying the United States. He made these remarks during a discussion on Politicon, referring to ancient consequences for collaborators in post-liberation Paris. Some law firms, including Wilkie Farr & Gallagher, have reached agreements with the Trump management, which Carville condemned as a disgrace to the legal profession and U.S. values.His comments followed a recent incident where a targeted firm agreed to provide ample pro-bono support to Trump while retracting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
Carville compares law firms working with Trump to Nazi collaborators
James Carville said law firms deciding to collaborate with President Donald Trump amid his executive orders punishing their previous legal work against him were no different than Nazi “collaborators” working with Hitler during World War II.
In various executive orders, Trump threatened to revoke federal contracts and employees’ security clearances for law firms that helped in the Mueller investigation.
Several of the law firms, so far including Wilkie Farr & Gallagher, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, have all reached agreements with the Trump administration in exchange for lifting the sanctions against them, much to the dismay of Carville.
“Maybe you need to go in history and see what happened in August of 1944 after Paris was liberated,” Carville said on Politicon. “They didn’t take very kindly to the collaborators. No, it was not a very pretty sight in the streets of Paris.”
“And I’m saying that these people betrayed the French nation in the same way that I think that these law firms and these giant corporate conglomerates are betraying the United States,” Carville continued.
HERE ARE THE LAWSUITS TARGETING TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDERS
“These people are a disgrace to the law firms they represent, to the companies that they represent and are supposed to be in self-interest, and they’re a disgrace to the United States and etch their names in the tablet of history for being some The greatest traitors, appeasers that we’ve seen in the history of our great country,” Carville said.
Carville’s remarks come just days after Milbank, a lawfirm targeted for its hiring of Neal Katyal, a former acting solicitor general under President Obama, agreed to provide $100 million in pro-bono work to the Trump administration and abolish its DEI mandates.
