1. It's a major worry for every partner, lawyer and staff member at @PerkinsCoieLLP that they haven't acted on this.

They're a very good law firm, with thousands of fine lawyers, but the fact is that some appear to be implicated in the greatest scandal in American history. https://twitter.com/LongMaga/status/1249909062197796865
2. #SpyGate is going to blow - A G Barr's recent comments indicate it's the greatest scandal in US history - and Perkins Coie is right in the middle of it.

Fact is you have lawyers at the firm, acting as an obvious go-between between Clinton, Obama and Fusion GPS.
3. 'We wuz acting on client instructions' and 'it's confidential' ain't going to cut it in a scandal of this magnitude.

Not when you have Att Durham & AG Barr pointing the finger at you using terms like 'seditious conspiracy', 'conspiracy' & (perhaps) 'treason'.
4. Perhaps these wealthy lawyers have drunk the #FakeNews koolaid.

They think it's either a conspiracy theory and even if it isn't, it's just another drama that will blow over.

Plus, ' muh OrangeManBad'.

If that's what they think, they are badly mistaken.
5. By now, they shoud have done an internal investigation and rooted out anyone involved, before apologizing profusely to POTUS @realDonaldTrump and pledging 100% cooperation.

That MIGHT get them a slap on the wrist.

But I doubt they've done a thing.
6. A weakness of lawyers is that they don't see the big picture.

#PerkinsCoie acts for very prestigious clients - not run by lawyers.

Have the partners considered that when SpyGate and their firm's role is exposed, NO reputable client will want to have anything to do with them?
7. That their entire business could be vaporized in 48 hours?

My bet is that they don't have a clue. $millions a year and elitist arrogance make people detached from reality, as we have learned.

I apply the same comments to the firm that acted for @GenFlynn , @CovingtonLLP
8. It's clear that something has gone terribly wrong at Covington, again a fine law firm.

Frankly, their recent explanation about missing documents being 'suddenly located' in the Flynn case is LAUGHABLE.

9. Anyone who has worked in a law firm of this quality knows full well that this NEVER happens.

Especially on a case of this importance.

Let's say it's revealed that (say) General Flynn's Covington lawyers were (say) communicating with Mueller's lapdogs and (say) #FakeNews .
10. Right there, Covington is DONE.

NUKED.

Every good client walks in 48 hours.

Have the partners investigated what the hell has gone on?

Somehow I doubt it. Too arrogant by half.
