Meanwhile, the litigation between Pierce Bainbridge and a former partner, Donald Lewis, which burst into public view earlier this year, is still making headlines almost every month. Lewis said he was fired for telling Pierce to stop wasting money that had been loaned to the firm by litigation funders such as Pravati Capital, and he has filed pages of screenshots of texts, Slack messages and emails that depict Pierce as a sexist with substance abuse issues and his partners as unwilling to stop him.

The firm has fired back with a suit of its own that accuses Lewis of engaging in extortion. Pierce Bainbridge has said Lewis’ allegations are false and meant to distract from the fact that he was terminated amid a probe into a staffer’s sexual assault allegations that it deemed credible. Lewis has said those allegations are false.

Messy.

Tulsi raised loss of DONATIONS as damages and the lawsuit repeats Clinton’s allegations of bots pushing Tulsi’s campaign. Would love to see Clinton’s lawyers follow the money

Not to mention, what HRC said was REPUBLICAN, not Russian. For what she really said, does it matter that HRC did not say who she was speaking of -- even though no one on this site had any trouble knowing who she was referring to.

In addition, is Gabbard considered a public figure where the bar is said to be higher? As to harm, could she use the fact that she has absolutely no chance of winning reelection to her seat? Would she have to prove that it was the HRC comment that led to that - not her positions in debates?
