He worked at a white collar law firm

Chris Hayes, on the podcast All In with Chris Hayes, was talking about the background of Jeffrey Clark, the former acting assistant attorney general under Donald Trump and who most certainly is “co-conspirator #4” in the Georgia indictment of Trump. It appears around 28:04 on this link:

This is a mashup of “white shoe law firm” (prestigious, well-established law firm) and “white collar crime” (describing generally non-violent crime). Must have been a Freudian slip as Hayes was about to talk about Clark’s involvement in white collar crime. A big thanks to Frank King for spotting this subtle malaphor and sending it in!
