My Take
David Friedman fascinates me as a study in trajectory. Going from a sharp corporate litigator out of NYU Law to representing a future president, and then to one of the most scrutinized diplomatic postings in the world, is a steep and rare arc. Whatever one makes of his politics, I find the transition from courtroom strategy to high-stakes international diplomacy genuinely instructive about how legal minds operate under pressure. He took a position that guaranteed criticism and stood in the line of fire personally. I respect the nerve it takes to own a role that polarizing.
