Gannon has "highly paid" legal team.

[Toucano]

From Jimmy Jeff's site:

"He got it wrong about Media Matters though, because I didn't identify any potential targets of legal action as per the advice of my highly-paid legal team."

I gotta wonder how a "volunteer" reporter has money to hire a "highly-paid" legal team?


Re-opening his website is going to be his final undoing. The man's just not that bright.

1. who is paying for his "highly paid" legal team?

[jdj]

3. Eberle, probably

and the lawyers are all friends of Karl.

[Clark2008]

15. Apparently he's got a "contribute" button up now.

He's back after taking some time off for Karl Rove's Media Spin and Propaganda course. The cost is a weekend, $50 and some lovin'.

11. Let's see, $200 an hour, $1200 overnight times 7 divided by condoms =

Karl Rove.

18. Nuh-uh; by DC standards, the rates are probably closer to $500 an hour.

I'd LOVE to know who his team is, as I have more than passing familiarity with DC law firms.

2. It's just perfect that the only thing he's "reporting" on now is HIMSELF

LOL! What a maroon!

6. Do you think the latest posts are plagiarized, too?

B-)

4. Wow, that Paypal thing must be really lucrative.

[KC21304]

7. I'm not up to speed on this. Which website is he re-opening ?

What kind of pictures is he showing ?

[Toucano]

9. I should have included the link.

http://www.jeffgannon.com

So far, just his own face.

[Catherine Vincent]

10. He does, it's Johnny COCKran.

:-)

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Does that mean he can afford to pay his back taxes now? Or

is that the part his 'highly-paid legal team' is going to handle?

[Toucano]

14. Excellent point! n/t

16. Like the Rutherford Institute lawyers for Paula Jones?

That was one of Bruce Eberle's more notable scams. He solicited donations to pay for Paula Jones' legal fees. Paula got $100,000 to spend on herself, Bruce kept the rest, and the lawyers saw not a penny. The Rutherford Institute took a bath.

Of course, since it was the Rutherford Institute, I can't feel too sorry for them. But you'd think that by now even right-wing lawyers would be wary of dealing with any of these folks.

17. It was said that a law firm in DC

has offered to represent him PRO BONO. My sister's a jr attorney there and refused to work on it.

[lavenderdiva]

21. interesting...

and Welcome to DU!

[Toucano]

22. So they're "highly-paid" by their clients.

But Guckert is a charity case. Nice to know.

And another Welcome to DU!

[Lorien]

19. Pathetic. He's just desperate for attention

his constant need for it might lead to BushCo's downfall, lol!

[UTUSN]

20. Well, There IS Something Called "In Kind" Payment ($200/hr, $1200/wkend)

[Dirty Hippie]

23. Well he damn sure didn't spend any money

on his Web site.

It sucks.

Looks like a kid did it.

[Arkana]

24. Hmmm...I wonder if he's paying his legal team in cash

or in "favors?"

25. SwiftBoaters 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' Division is anteing up as we speak.
