The Lincoln Project got Jones Day to drop trump as a client. This will be fun to watch

Free advice for all Biglaw firms: you will be held accountable in the court of public opinion for the work you and your partners do. Thats a lesson Jones Day is well acquainted with. As is Porter Wright. And King & Spalding. And Hogan Lovells. You get the point. So if a partner at your firm plays a prominent role in one of the most shocking phone calls in American history, well, youve got some splaining to do.
Of course Im talking about Foley & Lardner partner Cleta Mitchells participation in Donald Trumps harassing of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to just find 11,780 votes. It seems that the never-Trump PAC The Lincoln Project has turned their attention to Biglaw over the incident.
There are already murmurs of Foley losing business over Mitchells involvement in the debacle, and tweets like these from The Lincoln Project only ups the pressure.
And they arent the only PAC paying attention to Biglaw. MeidasTouch remember they are the ones that actually drew first blood in the campaign against Jones Day has turned their attention to Foley & Lardner. One the the PACs founders, Ben Meiselas, partner at Geragos & Geragos, has been very vocal about the firms involvement, specifically when Foley attorney Jason Villalba tweeted (though hes since deleted it) about the now infamous phone call without condemning Mitchells involvement.
