To be clear: Paul simply lies when he says that any prior President threatened Big Law — telling high end lawyers it would come down on them — if they represented even “hard right” causes.

That never happened. What did happen was that Big Law correctly assessed the marketplace in America — and realized that representing racist causes would hurt their brand. That reputable businesses (their other clients) would not want to be associated with a law firm that represented… racism. That stood for, and defended, the violence of the Proud Boys, or Stuart Rhodes.

So Paul lies. Then, he lacks the spine to say the obvious: Trump almost daily violates our Constitution.

Here is his, in context:

…I think lawyers should be able to represent the clients of their choice without the weight of the federal government coming down on them. I think clients challenging administration policy should have access to top lawyers who would like to represent them.

So no, the Trump administration should not try through intimidation to prevent these things from happening…

What a spineless panty-waist. Out.
