Lawyers are all corrupt. Even the ones trump hires:

Lawyers at Jones Day, which provides outside counsel to President Donald Trump's re-election campaign, have donated $90,000 to Trump's rival Joe Biden — and just $50 to Trump, according to a Reuters analysis.

The Trump campaign has paid the firm more than $4.5 million since the start of 2019, Reuters said.

And it isn't just lawyers at Jones Day who favor Biden, according to the analysis: Lawyers have collectively donated almost $29 million to Biden's campaign compared to just under $1.75 million to Trump's, it showed.

There are often attorneys who work at the same firm and vehemently hate each other. So folks under the same roof can very well have different opinions. Jones Day is a massive firm but it’s not a monolith.

PDJT’s attorneys may have provided unbilled work to him instead of cutting a check to him.

Those are likely individual contributions. We have a lot of professional rules of conduct, and I’m sure there would be a substantial conflict of interest for a firm, as a legal entity, to give anything.

You can look up individuals by employer, name, etc.
