I have been in white collar crime litigation and I have spoken to her a couple of times. She is top notch.

...subconcious brush off. Either way, she looked bad at that moment. If Katy Tur can spook her, Kav needs a new lawyer.

but just saying he hired a top notch attorney. She is very well known. She came from Paul Weiss who I know well. I just happen to know almost all the attorneys you see on TV. I sold the software they use at the SEC. I like attorneys. Lawyers like her charge $1.000 an hour.

I'll give you an example. I was at a white collar crime conference in Atlanta. I know the attorney for Bob McConnell very well. He is at Jones day. He was speaking and just as he started his speech he said that he just got off the phone with the DOJ and they were dropping McConnell's case. He had won the case. It was before the DOJ had made the announcement. We were the only 150 people outside of the case who knew it. FYI, McConnell's attorney is very liberal.
