It’s remarkable that a law firm would tolerate such a blatant shakedown and abuse of power. It’s not as if they don’t know how to litigate.

Damn! I was just hearing about a similar case (Perkins Coi) from the New York Times podcast. They discussed how even other big law firms were weary of representing them because of the fear Trump would also bar them from federal buildings. Just chilling.
