The Best People with Nicolle Wallace · Eric Holder: Institutions Have Failed Us, the American People Have Not · 2 Feb 2026 podcast

And I think, you know, I look at the law firms.

That for me is still a mystery because the reality was if the profession, if the law firms had stayed together and as a group said no, we would have won.

The notion that you can tell lawyers that you can't come into federal buildings, really?

I mean, that's ridiculous.

I mean, they came after us because we represent Jack Smith and we basically gave them the Heisman, my firm.

And we won.

Yeah.

And we are getting huge numbers of young people who want to work with us.

I suspect Paul Weiss is not.

We have not lost any clients.

When I was in Copenhagen and in Stockholm, I guess the early part of 2025, potential clients there were asking me, well,

If law firms won't stand up for themselves, why should I expect them to stand up for us if we are facing the government and we've had clients switch to us?

There's a long-term negative impact on the reputation of these firms and belies that which they said they were all about.

And then beyond that, when you're a part of a thing that says, well, you know, if you settle a lawsuit, pay us $16 million, whatever it is, we won't bring an action against you, a specious lawsuit.

I could not be a part of that kind of transaction, you know, to say, wait a minute, you're not going to fight this thing, not only because you're going to win, but also because of the example that it's going to set.

And yet, you know, many lawyers, many businesses have decided that they're going to do that which they think is good for them in the short term.

And it may be, but...

Life is long and memories are long and people are going to remember where you stood in 2025, 2026, 27 and 28.

Yeah, well, I'm not, you know, a business type.

I think I'm a pretty good lawyer.
