She was born and raised in Connecticut, went to college at Dartmouth, law school at UVA, and has worked her entire career in NYC and DC. She doesn’t know shit about Minnesota or the rest of the Midwest, or, for that matter, the South or the West Coast. She is the epitome of an East Coast Elite.

Extra fitting gif considering where that show took place.

Oh, I didn’t attend UVA, I’m a WVU alum. Not nearly snooty enough for Mr. Jefferson’s University. But it is where I call home now, so second-hand shame, I guess.

Unless it’s been modded for that “hot diaper smell” bypass into the exhaust.

Yep, that’s the part of her work history that was in DC. Other than that, before working for Fox News, she worked for a Big Law firm in NYC.

Yeah it doesn’t really matter which one. There’s a bunch of them and they’re all really toxic places to work, and most, if not all, represent big corporations and rich people. You can make a ton of money, but the price is pretty literally your soul. Or your humanity at least.

Skadden does seem to stand out a little bit these days, though:
Skadden has a history of representing clients with ties to the Vladimir Putin regime in Russia, such as Alfa Bank, Roman Abramovich, and Viktor F. Yanukovych’s pro-Russian regime in Ukraine. In 2020, the firm paid a $4.6 million settlement for misleading U.S. authorities regarding its lobbying on behalf of a Russia-aligned Ukrainian government.
In 2012, Skadden took as a client Viktor F. Yanukovych, who was a pro-Russian president of Ukraine from 2010 to 2014. Paul Manafort helped arrange for the hiring of Skadden. One of company’s actions on Yanukovych’s behalf was to produce a report justifying Yanukovych’s imprisonment of former prime minister Yulia V. Tymoshenko (who was pro-European) and denying that the action had been a political prosecution, although many Western countries characterized it as such. Later that year a team of American lawyers commissioned by the government of Ukraine concluded that Tymoshenko’s trial had not been fair and her rights had been violated. After Yanukovych lost power in Euromaidan and fled to Russia, Skadden’s work on his behalf led to several federal investigations. One Skadden attorney, Alex van der Zwaan, was convicted of lying to the FBI about his work on Yanukovych’s behalf and served 30 days in jail. In 2019, Skadden lawyer Gregory B. Craig was indicted on charges of lying to federal prosecutors about the work he did at Skadden on behalf of the Yanukovych, but was acquitted in a jury trial.
Tymoshenko made plans to sue Skadden, and in May 2020 it was revealed that Skadden had paid at least $11 million to settle the case before a lawsuit could be filed.
Skadden, along with Mercury Public Affairs and the Podesta Group, was investigated by the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) for possible lobbying violations regarding former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. In 2019, Skadden agreed to pay a $4.6 million settlement to the Department of Justice over the firm’s failure to register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agent Registrations Act.
Skadden has been involved in representing Russian groups in corporate deals worth around $90 billion. Skadden has represented Alfa Bank, a Russian bank closely associated with Russian oligarchs and the Vladimir Putin regime. After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 and amid heavy sanctions against Alfa Bank, Skadden said it was “in the process of ending our representations of Alfa Bank.” Skadden has a long-standing relationship with Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich – Skadden refused to say whether it still represented him in 2022.
