'You see it in all of the worst things we see in Donald Trump: 'The law means what I say it means. The election was stolen because I lost,' the lawyer said, referring to The former presidents unfounded but popular claims of election fraud.
'Once you depart from the idea that we're all people under the law, it really matters who is in power. That starts to feel like the rule of man, not the rule of law.'
'That's hugely corrosive,' the lawyer added.

'Partners are being blindsided by associates who they think are liberals in their own image, but they're not,' the lawyer told Sibarium.
'The associates want to burn the place down.'
Strossen added that this has also led lawyers feel like they must self-censor walk on a tightrope to make sure they don't say anything that could be seen as remotely controversial.
'I massively self-censor,' she said. 'I assume that every single thing that is said, every facial gesture, is going to be recorded and potentially disseminated to the entire world. ". . .
