i hope the BAR association takes her ability to practice law away
bigrubberjohnny
Cleta is the feminine version of Cletus?
GCRust
Trump's gone through more lawyers than the Power Rangers' Villain of the Series goes through Monsters of the Week.

Did they have a meeting with her? Or did they just give her a quick look, because it was all that needed to be said?
greatcanine
I bet she was asked to attend a meeting of the managing partners and noped the fuck out with a resignation letter
TheRickest
Almost every time she talked Trump basically told her to sit and hush.
BokchoyIsAWhiteVegetable
When professions associated with perceived unethical behaviours state this is ethically and democratically out of bounds....that says a lot.
confanity
To be fair, like with politicians, the predatory asshat members of the profession give a bad name to the ones who truly care & try to help.
boxak
And when Republicans do fuck all about it, that also says a lot.

Wait dude, explain your username

Have you seen bok choy? The "meaty" part is white.

How many lawyers have to be shot down before they figure out he is poison. I'm not a lawyer but I figured it out.
noonehasthisoneyet
How dumb do you have to be to be a trump lawyer? He has no money so it’s hard to understand their motivation
dontrike
Only the best people. Trump's legal team is a revolving door of failure and crooks.
NeverDownvoteMelBrooks
Notice this dropped on Tuesday. If they cared it would have been yesterday. My money is on "our clients are leaving so you need to resign."
Rip42
My money is on the partners needing to meet and hold a vote on terminating her or cancelling her partnership, depending on her status.
ConfederacyOfDunces
Lawfirm are by nature careful. Perhaps they were reviewing her employment contract and doing things by the book.
NeverDownvoteMelBrooks
I hope so. But I've seen due diligence happen faster in similar situations.

Wow! It's bad when lawyers are embarrassed.
DefundIsraelTheGenocidalNation
Good fucking riddance. She should be disbarred
Yupurineutah
That is known as giving your firm a black eye.
rubypilgrim
We suggest you may want to volunteer to seek opportunities that may be a better match for your talents elsewhere.
speedyfastcat
It was resign or be fired!
DesdemonaMoor
What is that moron shit gibbon promising people that they'll completely implode their careers for him?
sweetfeetpete
Fucking disbar these fucks already
jicahmusic
Her career is likely over and trump won’t bother talking to her ever again. Hope it was worth it you stupid bitch.
wingineer
Alas, even if they revoke her bar admission (doubtful), she'll just join the wingnut welfare circuit.
lenomdeplume
There are at least 70+ million Trumptards. One of them needs a lawyer, I’m sure if it.
jicahmusic
Likely will be disbarred for having any part of that phone call.

18 U.S. Code § 2385 - Advocating overthrow of Government. Busted

That's a whole lot of fancy words for illegal and treason

More likely this......18 U.S. Code § 2385 - Advocating overthrow of Government
piawanegawa9
Wait, you're trying to tell me that moronic abomination of a phone call was assisted by a lawyer???

IPoisonedDorcasMutton
Every single one of Trump's legal team needs to be hauled before their local Bar and stripped of their licence. You have a duty 1
IPoisonedDorcasMutton
To advance your client's interests, but a greater duty to uphold the laws of this nation. If those conflict, you drop the client. 2
charlieratslayer
My uncle works for this firm! They’re pissed lol
Mikeiller
can you tell us more?

I bet they asked nicely for her “resignation”.
WhataboutBobWiley
they she'll get a BS job a big corp paying here millions for consultations...

On the one hand, she might have tried to tell him not to do it. On the other hand that's pretty unlikely

I can only imagine they called her into the office and just stared quietly until she hanged herself with words.
mrtweeter04
Nice in business speak “per our previous email let’s align on your next steps. Our position is your no longer employed.1/2
mrtweeter04
Please reach out if you need further clarification. Regards.”
FurtiveGlancer
No problem, she will be snapped up by a MAGA firm by tomorrow...
th3guy
I mean, who wouldn’t want to work along brilliant legal minds like Rudy Giuliani and Lin Wood and Sidney Powell /s
copingcabana
I hope they stripped away her equity. Even without the call, you have to be an ass to have Deadbeat Don as a client.
MillerLitesaber
If it’s the woman on the call I think it is, doesn’t surprise me. She was little more than Salacious Crumb to Trump’s Jabba the Hutt
embodymentofgattaca
Don't know anything about law firms. Why is it she was allowed to take that case to begin with? Any sane individual would see that as >
embodymentofgattaca
a hot garbage case. Do the firms tell lawyers what to represent, or is it the lawyers that choose?

“GTFO before we can your ass Celta.”
kidtutty
Nah...make her quit. No severance. And May the arrival of the Great Disbarment in the soon-to-be post-Trump era catch her outside, howboudat
Slappydupappy
Amazing i believe her name is Cleta. Clee-tahhhhhhh. Dunno where that derives from
theshinobi23
Probably a female version of Cletus.
TechnicolorCheeseWedge
Closest thing I'm familiar with is Cletus
hateanyway
that's one thing people get wrong a lot. "resign" in politics and public-facing offices means "fired" 9 times out of 10.
hateanyway
100% of the time if it is after a blunder
pyroshen
It's probably an ultimatum. "You can get fired or resign, but either way you are done"
Mikeiller
"We're going to ask you nicely to resign. If you don't you're going to resign anyway, but it won't be as nice."
Drakitomon
Usually resign and keep your benefits or get shitcanned and get nothing. You have 5 seconds to decide.
pyroshen
I *highly* doubt she's keeping any benefits. Quitting usually gets you nothing
dyxj
Depends. If they want her to stfu about the details of the resignation, they would offer her something.
