Law firm @POTUS used to show he has no ties to Russia was named Russia Law Firm of the Year for their extensive ties to Russia. Unreal.

Edited to add:
1. They also had Rosneft as a client. See post 12.
2. Ties to Sater in post 1.

1. Same law firm was sued for hiding Sater's

Same law firm was sued for hiding Sater's–he funneled Russian money to Trump–racketeering

Testimony, wearing a wire or some such? Part of an ongoing investigation I think?

Gotta go look...

6. Oh, so it's not satire?

[RockCreek]

7. Since he's used them before

I guess he didn't get the recommendation on Wed from his Russian visitors.

[Stinky The Clown]

8. WHAAAAAAATTTTTT?????????

[mcar]

9. But they sent a certified letter!!

[thecrow]

20. Yes, that will ABSOLUTELY prove he has no ties to the Russians.

It's middle school again and he has a note from his mom.
That will show the meanies in Congress.

No, you can't make this stuff up!
Photoshoppers...Where is that graphic of Karl Rove being dragged out of the White House?

17. Wow.

[KelleyKramer]

35. Holy cow

You can't make this stuff up

This goes far and wide, seems like there is no end to the Trump Russia connections

Russia is trying to take over our entire government

Next thing you know there will be meetings with top Russian diplomats and the US President in the white house

[SunSeeker]

14. K & R for exposure.

[mfcorey1]

18. There just is no bottom to this fuckery!!!

[dalton99a]

19. Priceless.

[PatSeg]

21. "Very prestigious law firm"

"Tremendous" - Must be true, because Trump said it.

[BigmanPigman]

22. When will they make "The Moscovian Candidate"?

[mr_lebowski]

24. Out of curiosity, 'named' ... by WHOM?

What 'authority' gets to name 'Russia Law Firm of the Year'? And WTF does that even mean?

Whole thing sounds kinda made up to me, honestly.

Then again you could say that about most Trump-related stories I suppose ...

Funny how a man with supposedly no ties to Russia has so many turning up isn't it.

[neeksgeek]

25. Oh yeah... this just keeps getting better and better!

[SergeStorms]

26. Comrade Trump uses.....

lawyers great leader Vladimir Putin TELLS him to use! That is all. Return now to the fields, comrades. This year's harvest will be the most greatest harvest EVER! Sposibo.

[not fooled]

27. OMFG

The story that Morgan Lewis was named LFOTY in Russia made the rounds months ago. Got widespread coverage.

The fact that now the orange turd didn't have the wherewithal to pick another firm--one without such BLATANT ties to Russia--for his latest stunt just shows that he's either extremely stupid or just brazenly throwing it all in our faces and daring us to come get him.
