"Takeover"
lmao.
and probably intellectually extremely dishonest.

"Most of the questions were yawners. Then, an associate in her late twenties stood up. She said there were lawyers at the firm who were “uncomfortable” with Boies representing disgraced movie maker Harvey Weinstein, and she wanted to know whether Boies would pay them severance so they could quit and focus on applying for jobs at other firms. Boies, who declined to comment for this article, said no".

A) per the author himself, we're talking about one atty out of "100 or so" "uncomfortable" with the representation of Weinstein.
what about the other 99 who didn't say anything?
is 1 out of 100 now considered a "takeover"???????
B) the implication with no backing is that the "1" atty out of 100 who said she was "uncomfortable" with said representation, was so because she didn't think Weinstein was worthy of representation, when she absolutely never said that that we know of, or implied it, per the author's own words.
i would argue just as or more likely her or anyone else, if so, being "uncomfortable" with said representation, was due to possible financial and otherwise professional ramifications it could have on her, as any stink pursuant to the representation of Weinstein wouldn't necessarily be confined to Boies himself as the representing atty.
the firm itself could, likely would, take on some stink as well, and thus the "her" in question would take some on as well, especially if her client base had a particular slant to it that said Weinstein representation by the firm might be an issue for her with.
just as or more likely any objection was financially and professionally based, and had nothing to do with any wokeness or thinking not everyone should have a defense.
nice try though, by both the author and by "Common Sense", which i'll guess is a right wing propaganda publication.
