Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 11.21.17

* Pro: The DOJ is finally taking the sort of antitrust action they should've been pursuing for decades in blocking the AT&T/Time Warner merger. Con: They're only doing it because Trump hates CNN. [BBC] * State Department officials formally accuse the Secretary of State of violating U.S. law. Things seem to be running smoothly over there. [CNBC] * Husch Blackwell sheds 40 lawyers... zero associates. [Law.com] * Bob Mueller's team seems to be gearing up to get Rick Gates's counsel disqualified. [National Law Journal] * Inside the world of a Biglaw GC. [Corporate Counsel] * We all were wondering what would happen to the FCPA under an administration that publicly claims businesses need to be able to bribe local officials. The answer? It now only applies to the Chinese and Africans. That makes sense. [Law360] * Former Biglaw partner dies in around-the-world yacht race. [American Lawyer]
