Donald Trump's administration has been in the news for its recent executive orders targeting law firms, including Perkins Coie LLP and Paul Weiss, that represented certain individuals and even groups who Trump sees as his political opponents, but now Elon Musk has added a new firm to the enemies list.

Over the weekend, Trump-pardoned conservative provocateur Dinesh D'Souza lobbed some accusations against Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. "Skadden Arps is the firm engaged in systematic lawfare against '2000 Mules' They have a army of 17 attorneys working pro-bono against me. I have 2 lawyers," according to D'Souza. "The Left's game is to ruin us through protracted, costly litigation."

D'Souza tagged Trump in the post, but it was Musk who weighed in. "Skadden, this needs to stop now," Musk wrote. Some reports online suggest that Skadden has represented Musk in the past.

Popular MAGA influencer AwakenedOutlaw added, "It's probably time for an army of people online to dig into EVERYTHING and EVERYONE at Skadden, Arps." "There are millions of us. Let's consider turning the tables on 'em," they added.

1. Didn't 2000 Mules libel people?

Is litigation against D'Souza based upon the torts of libel and defamation?

ATLANTA — The creator of the widely debunked film "2000 Mules" has issued a statement saying "inaccurate information" was provided to him about ballot box surveillance videos featured in the film and apologizing to a Georgia man in one of those videos who was falsely accused of ballot fraud during the 2020 election.

“I know that the film and my book create the impression that these individuals were mules that had been identified as suspected ballot harvesters,” D’Souza said in a statement posted on social media last week.

3. Oh good grief. Skadden Arps is not "the left."

They are a big corporate firm.

4. If the law firms won't fight and protect themselves, they won't do it for their clients either.

5. THIS

Which should be the main take-away message. And ironically, there is unfortunately a parallel issue about "fighting" vs "caving", going on within the Democratic party with respect to Schumer.

6. Exactly.

Everyone is caving and kissing ass.

Cowards.

7. Attorneys working pro bono (for free)

Gee, that's playing dirty, isn't it?

8. Oh please...

"The Left's game is to ruin us through protracted, costly litigation."

You mean the costly litigation that your people created back in the day to make sure they were not going to be sued without it being extremely expensive and convoluted? That 'costly litigation'?

Popular MAGA influencer AwakenedOutlaw added, "It's probably time for an army of people online to dig into EVERYTHING and EVERYONE at Skadden, Arps."

Says the anonymous guy. I say we need to dig up everything we can about 'AwakenedOutlaw' (cute name).

9. As a side note, D'Souza's son in law, Rep. Brandon Gill, filed impeachment charges against Judge Boasberg last week.

So maybe some familial quid pro quo for that pardon, eh?
