Law Firm Advising Trump On Business Conflicts Named ?Russian Law Firm Of The Year? last May
 

Trump has no ties with Russia eh? You just can't make this stuff up. First his Secretary of State pick received Russias highest non citizen award by Putin, the Russian Order of Friendship award, now its discovered that last May the new law firm Trump is using was named the “Russian law firm of the year” award for its work in the country. You just can't make this stuff up :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Ronald Tenpas, a partner at the firm, joined the landing team at the Department of Justice as part of Trump’s transition efforts! No ties to Russia Trump?

-----------------------

WASHINGTON ― Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, the corporate law firm that is advising Donald Trump on how to handle his massive business conflicts before and during his time in office, received industry recognition last year for its work in Russia.

Chambers & Partners, a London-based publication that ranks law firms and lawyers around the world for business clients, gave the firm the “Russian law firm of the year” award for its work in the country.

The firm acknowledged the award in a news release last May. An editor for Chambers & Partners did not respond to a request for comment on the award’s significance.

According to the Morgan Lewis website, the firm’s Moscow office has a healthy practice, with more than 40 lawyers helping corporate clients navigate the Russian legal landscape.

The president-elect has repeatedly said he has no dealings with Russia, and on Wednesday morning, he used his Twitter platform to reassure Americans that the country has no “leverage” over him. He reiterated that position during his long-awaited news conference on business conflicts later in the day.

“I have no deals,” Trump said. “I have no loans and no dealings. We could make deals in Russia very easily, if we wanted to. I just don’t want to because I think that would be a conflict.”

Morgan Lewis’ ties to politicians span across the aisle. Last year, a partner at the firm, James Hamilton, was recruited to help Hillary Clinton pick a running mate, according to The New York Times. The lawyer also helped prior Democratic presidential candidates, including Barack Obama, select running mates.

Ronald Tenpas, another partner at the firm, joined the landing team at the Department of Justice as part of Trump’s transition efforts.

You aren't the sharpest blade in the drawer, but in a few days he will be.

The Russian trolls ignore this thread :1orglaugh

Using lawyers as middlemen is the oldest trick in the book -- they invoke lawyer-client privilege when they testify -- and it sticks. This is what ''businessmen'' can afford to do guaranteeing they never get caught.:2 cents:

And you'll be wishing Obama could have a third term

Good point :thumbsup

I've never seen an American celebrity more tied to Russia than Trump.

I least I have enough balls to post under my real name and not hide under a fake nick.

Seems to me like Trump has been completely compromised... Sounds like Russia ordered their "Russian Order of Friendship award" winner to be nominated.

They worked with Hillary, Obama and Ted Cruz I'm beginning to see a pattern here.

I honestly do not see how he will get anything done while he is continuously answering to conflicts of interest.

Drain the swamp ? or make it bigger ?

You never have the balls to be upfront you always say snarky shit with no specifics.

What pattern do you see? fucking unbelievable

Is that pattern, Trump is just the same as all those people you tell us you hate? :1orglaugh

That's just a coincidence ..........

BTW.... Trump should know quite a bit about FAKE NEWS.
Seems to me he was the one saying...
"He's a Muslim" "He was not Born in the US"

...LOL...

Are people going to start paying attention to this shit or are we just going to lube up our buttholes for Russia? This is unreal and goes way beyond the pale.

Ya Know... I was saying that before the election.
Everyone then just wanted to call names and point fingers. Like that will get you anywhere.

Nobody took a grip on a real issue that might be important to them to see it to the end of how are you going to do that ?
The voters do have the power to set the agenda... the just fail to do it.

The way I see it, Trump is a way for the Republicans to get some long awaited legislation past. After that, they will have no use for him and they will be able to blame it all on him.
I don't look forward to him being prez for a full term.

Optimistic on the long term if we survive the short term.

Denial is strong amongst Trumplestiltskins suppors this is why: Stockholm syndrome.

Stockholm syndrome: is a psychological condition that causes victims to develop sympathetic sentiments towards their captors, often sharing their opinions and acquiring romantic feelings for them as a survival strategy.

No! just time difference in 12 hours.
I think Trump need to stop making excuses.

I agree, he needs to man up.

In fact, this is true. Hillary's campaign at one point employed the same law firm.

People are paying attention. Currently Trump's approval rating as President Elect is 37%. To give you something to compare to, Obama's approval rating was 72% for the same period.

Days Before Inauguration, Trump's Approval Rating Plunges to Historic Low

It will be interesting to see Trump's approval rating until he is impeached.

Oh, but Crockett and Friends sure is doing a great job of trying.

The vulgarity of Trump makes me regret the class of Obama :disgust

I think Trump will conflict with Putin, and with Soros(eu+half usa) and with China and with Middle East :1orglaugh

I agree.

The USA government is not just the president.

The 535 members of congress hold 90% of the power and influence over America, state by state.

congress it inside USA on economic side, but them need military orders + republicans it oil business(tanks+gasoline:1orglaugh)
outside it POTUS + Department of State + CIA + Pentagon

So he picks the best law firm to work with.

Read the whole thing for yourself.
I am very inclined to believe it simply on the basis of his inability to take any harsh stance to Russia. Far from it, he has been embracing them. It's just VERY STRANGE.
If it walks like a duck....
