We're talking law firms here that deal with the criminal mindset on a daily basis. They definitely know how people like trump operate, and they certainly know all about how deals are constructed.

Maybe the firms are really second guessing themselves and feeling some heat, or perhaps there's some other recourse or avenue they can pursue? I know as much about law as trump knows about the economy so I can't say much.
