The law firm that POTUS used to show he had no ties to Russia was named Russian Law firm of the year

[hal2kilo]

I thought his law firms name was Willy, Cheatum , & How.

I remember Dewey for the first name.

It alleges that President Donald Trump has extensive connections to Russia’s ruling oligarchs and a history of illegal racketeering.

“Donald Trump’s business partners have included Russian oligarchs and convicted mobsters, which could make the president guilty of criminal racketeering charges,” wrote Steven Rosenfeld at AlterNet on Friday.

Just an observation considering that the Trump business is an international organization that it would hire an international law firm to take carer of its interest... They also have offices in China several middle eastern countries and Cuba... plus a lot more.

Thanks! I'm glad you are on the case! I can't imagine why a business with no business in Russia wouldn't want to be represented by a law firm in Russia. Its probably because the Russians are known for their adherence to domestic and foreign laws.

God damn pcgeek, is there anything you won't explain away in order to defend trump?

I didn't explain away anything. I was only making an observation about the law firm in general as a global law firm. It isn't a law firm in Russia, it is a global company that was founded in Philadelphia on March 10, 1873. Right here in the old USA. Pull your panties out of your crack and be realistic for a change.

Neither of us ( you or I ) have any knowledge that he is using the branch of the Global Law Firm that is in Russia. And if he is does, it doesn't prove anything? Are you so gullible as to think that if you do business with a global corporation or business that you are tied to every single thread of that business? Serious question.

Point to one thing I said that wasn't factual. I'm not the one spinning.

 

[lopri]

@pcgeek11: I think the presumption is against you thanks to your long-running record around here. And I for one have no doubt that you would be spinning a different narrative if this law firm was doing Clinton's bidding.

Anyhow, this is another one of Tяrump's con tactics. Remember that:

1. A private law firm that is representing a client cannot vouch for the client's innocence. (Why isn't this obvious?!)
2. In any case the law firm does not vouch for Tяrump's innocence. (see: "With a few exceptions")
3. "Certified letter" (?!) Another con maneuver of Tяrump's, which sounds scary to ordinary people but in reality all it means is its delivery was verified by the Post Office. Not only is it trivial to send a certified letter but there is nothing stopping criminals from sending certified letters. I cannot believe that Tяrump tries to sell it, on a national stage, as if it had anything to do with his putative innocence, but then again that is what con-artists do.

We have elected a senile criminal a president. There is no ifs or buts about it.

There is YOUR mistake. I did not make any representations of trying to protect or take up for any of Trumps actions. I personally have no idea what Trump is or is not guilty of if anything at all, just like you. I'm just not willing to assume he is guilty of anything based on the fact that his hired global law firm has a branch office in Russia ( and lots of other countries including China ), that would be stupid.

Can you point out where I posted anything that wasn't a verifiable fact in this thread? No, of course not. You are just making tin foil hat claims about something you are obviously ignorant about.

1.) A private law firm that is representing a client cannot vouch for the client's innocence.
They can, but you don't have to accept it. Just like anybody else vouching for you.

2. In any case the law firm does not vouch for Tяrump's innocence. (see: "With a few exceptions")
They didn't vouch for his innocence. They issued a statement to confirm his business dealings with Russia and its citizens. The exceptions were noted in the letter for completeness. His business held a beauty pageant in Russia, he sold an estate in Florida to a rich Russian and the various monies from normal operations of a global business TTO or Third Party Entities. I see nothing glaring, do you?

3. "Certified letter" (?!) Another con maneuver of Tяrump's, which sounds scary to ordinary people but in reality all it means is its delivery was verified by the Post Office.

Everybody knows what a Certified Letter is, unless you are really dumb. So everybody that sends a Certified Letter is trying to run a con. Got it!

 

[ch33zw1z]

Thanks for the info. It seems your intent is to derail the thread.

OP doesn't say anything about it being a Russian law firm.

Still got that recognition. Maybe they're not even that good, but Russia is fucking with us more.

Exactly how did this law firm "confirm" trump has no business ties to Russia? Did they show us anything or are we supposed to take their word for it? Why did you unquestioningly accept their statement as fact? You see nothing glaring because you weren't shown anything. Convenient isn't it?

I'm sure in your world all these little coincidences are just that, right? Ask yourself; if this was Clinton instead of trump, would you be so cavalier about this?

 

[pcgeek11]

Don't be obtuse. I am discussing the subject of the thread no derailing found.

I only wanted to point out what everyone else seems to be glossing over. Which I have already...

The thread titles says:

"The law firm that POTUS used to show he had no ties to Russia was named Russian Law firm of the year"

While not factually wrong, it is misleading as it was a branch of a Global Law Firm that was founded in the USA and has branches in many countries.

 

[ch33zw1z]

It's not misleading at all.

That's the law firm he hired since mid 2000's for his tax attorney, and they were recognized as Russia law firm of 2016.

They just released a report claiming Trump has no ties to Russia, which we all know is false.

The question mark is around what type of relationships, did it play a part in the 2016 election specifically, if so, how?

Confirmation was the intent of the letter as they have been doing his tax work since 2005. I did not say that I accepted this letter as undeniable fact or not. What I said was I have no idea as to his innocence or guilt just as you don't either.

As per normal you are making unfounded assumptions about me. And as usual you are wrong. Ho-Hum what else is new.

Like Trump must be guilty as his law firm has a branch in Russia that was awarded a title of Russian Law Firm Of The Year as alluded by the OP and various others...

I'm finished as you people have gone full retard over this...

 

[Puffnstuff]

The observation that pcgeek11 made about international business is true and all global companies have such legal representation. I would be curious to know whether or not their relationship extends beyond that of a normal customer/client and if there is any backdoor investment into them by Trump.

Yeah, he just argues that one point to the max. And disregards anything else.

They could be the worst law firm in Russia, but since they rep Trump, Russia could use it to troll us some more.

[Younigue]

There are many other law firms he could have hired but because he's consistently thumbing his nose at America he hires one with Russian ties. The guy's the epitome of America First.

 

[Jhhnn]

Going on about Morgan Lewis being a Russian firm is bullshit. They're an international mega firm operating mostly in the US. They help international companies put together things like a "double Irish with a Dutch sandwich" & other shell game tax avoidance & ownership obfuscation schemes. Money laundering is "perfectly legal" when done right & I'm sure they know how. If I were the Donald I'd hire them or somebody just like them.
