    To avoid the consequences of Trump’s order, the White House said, the firm had agreed to “take on a wide range of pro bono matters that represent the full spectrum of political viewpoints of our society”.

    “To avoid legal repercussions we offered the US president a bribe” FTFY

      This reads as if the offer came from the other side.

      “To avoid legal repercussions, you can offer the US president a bribe.”

      So basically extortion or protection money.

    This miserable attempt at an administration is quite obviously the most openly and blatantly venal “mobigarchy” as has existed in at least my lifetime (65+yrs) and more than likely in the history of the US.

    It is literally Mob (read: Mafia) Rule.

    Fuck these criminal bastards and the 77M morons who voted them into office.

    🤦‍♀️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤡 🖕 🖕

    This is open extortion using the power of the executive branch. Literally providing free services in order to not be targeted by an elected leader? Yikes.

    Rescinding a TARGETED executive order after the Victims agree to give you FREE THINGS is how we KNOW Trump is NOT Corrupt!
