Representatives for Sullivan and Cromwell did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Cohen, one of the firm's prominent attorneys, also didn't respond to a request for comment.
In announcing that Cohen's donation was being returned, Buttigieg's campaign said he was"no longer actively involved with the campaign." At least two other max-out donors from the firm have had roles in some of the most controversial recent financial scandals and mergers. The firm's work on mergers in particular could raise concerns among voters in Iowa, where Buttigieg has staked much of his candidacy on a strong showing in the nation's first caucuses. Sullivan & Cromwell worked on one of the biggest agricultural company mergers in history in 2018 when drug and chemical company Bayer combined with agricultural giant Monsanto.
Austin Frerick, a native Iowan and former Treasury economist who now heads up an antitrust enforcement research program at Yale University, said “seed cost increases are a direct impact of ag mergers like these,” “Antitrust is about power, and are you willing to trust power,” Frerick said. “This type of donation from a law firm makes me question his ability to challenge power."
Dads a Marxist. The nut hasn’t fallen far from the tree.
Pete’s rivals are all millionaires or billionaires so who are they to judge him This makes me so angry. Pete is a stand up guy. I trust his judgment. Take all the money you can get PeteButtigieg from where ever/whom ever you can get it. ❤️
As the Mandalorians say 'this is the way'

Didn’t take Pete long to reveal who he is.
No male 1st Lady
Only for the moment.

Good. Legal campaign contributions from people on Wall Street means that even THEY want Trump out of office. Keep that legal money flowing to Democrats.
👀
Not Bernie
That’s not really news. If you think about it, he is probably the only one beholden to Wall Street. Bernie, EW hell no. Biden...possibly, but no contender has as much dirty money than Buttigieg batcave wine-o-fundraiser.
Cause he's a moderate..
kbrackson not a good look
And he wants to criticize his fellow and lady rivals for office of the president in 2020 field for doing the same, tea calling the kettle black.
Don't care..
Does that include the funds ElizabethWarren dumped into her Warren2020 campaign from her Senate war chest?

Nobody cares about Buttigig
Wall St. Sugar Baby.
