(11,916 posts)Between Gabbard, the Russian support he's received, and some of the crap his staff has pulled, I would prefer he not get the nom. However, if he does, I will support him.

The bad news coming out of the self-proclaimed Fastest Growing Law Firm in the History of the World continues with reports not only of a flood of firm departures, but also now reports of fractured client relationships.
Pierce Bainbridge Beck Price & Hecht LLP continues to take on water. Time will tell if managing partner John Pierce, given to tough marine-talk, Captain Kevlar-and-Titanium Skinned John Pierce can lead his self-proclaimed Attorney Navy SEALs through the turbulent waters it appears to be navigating.
The firm, famously recently taking on Presidential lawyer Rudy Giuliani as a client, has had a colorful history.
The Pierce Bainbridge issues are multi-faceted. There are lawsuits from a former partner. Theres a multi-million default declared by a litigation funder. There are references to ethical violations per written judicial opinions. And there are attorneys leaving in droves.

When I vet attorneys, I make sure there is a Trump--Russia connection first.
Does Rudy get a referral fee to knock down his debt?

(4,494 posts)you can still make a case for defamation.
However, given that an "asset" need be nothing more than something that is useful, she's got nothing.

(102,283 posts)Gabbard loves to hold up her military experience to somehow convey superior knowledge of such things, but it is damned clear she had no military intelligence experience or she would know better

(3,363 posts)Seeing as some people defended her, and she probably got Republican donor cash, and she went on Carlson and Hannity, I see no evidence that comment caused any actual harm. Therefore, her defamation suit is meaningless.

(3,981 posts)After the podcast comments, Merrill confirmed to Politico that Clinton was referring to Gabbard.

I don't know if that's enough to establish grounds for a lawsuit.
