## Resource

Popok reports on a highly skeptical Federal Appeals Court in DC, led by two Obama appointees, likely blocking Trump's efforts to punish Law Firms that represent his adversaries or enemies by taking away their security clearance, putting them on a blacklist and taking away up to 60% of their revenue. This is another example of Trump's attacks on law schools, Bar Associations, and law firms resulting in spectacular failure.
