So you want to be my attorney: Portrait of Two Prominent Attorneys as Middle-Aged Men

Michael Avenatti's Past Won't Stop Him From Running in 2020 | Time

Avenatti and his most prominent client, Trump accuser,
Stormy Daniels.
Avenatti drinks approximately 15 shots of espresso each day–and makes sure everyone around him knows it. His chiseled jaw seems perpetually jutted forward, his wiry frame coiled. Veins bulge on the temples of his egg-shaped head. ....

Filings in a related bankruptcy case show that Avenatti’s firm had tax troubles. Court documents dated January 2018 reveal that Avenatti had paid $1.5 million of an outstanding $2.4 million tax liability but that the firm still owed the IRS approximately $880,000. Federal attorneys claimed in May that Avenatti had missed the first installment of that payment. Avenatti says his firm has “fully satisfied” all of its tax liabilities. The U.S. attorney’s office in L.A. declined to comment.

It wasn’t just fellow lawyers with whom Avenatti had troubles. In 2013 Avenatti teamed up with the actor Patrick Dempsey to buy the Seattle-based coffee chain Tully’s. But just two months after they finalized the deal, Dempsey sued to get out of the partnership, claiming in court that Avenatti had borrowed $2 million to help buy the company without telling him. Avenatti had purchased the Tully’s chain through a company he established in December 2012 called Global Baristas. In 2017 the IRS claimed Global Baristas owed $5 million in federal taxes. In March 2018 Tully’s closed all its stores.

New York magazine piece on David Boies

Weinstein, left, his counsel, Boies right
To those outside this professional circle, though, the Black Cube operation was appalling. In response, Boies issued a carefully worded email to his firm. He wrote that Weinstein’s “request to contract with investigators seemed at the time, like a reasonable accommodation for a longtime client,” but acknowledged it was “not thought through” and conceded that it “was a mistake to contract with, and pay on behalf of a client, investigators who we did not select and did not control.” He tried to rationalize away the conflict-of-interest issue by saying he thought he was actually serving the interests of the Times by testing the reliability of its sources. But beyond that, Boies sought to assign most responsibility to Weinstein and “his other counsel,” who he said were more closely involved in overseeing Black Cube. “Had I known at the time that this contract would have been used for the services that I now understand it was used for, I would never have signed it,” he wrote. “I would never knowingly participate in an effort to intimidate or silence women or anyone else … That is not who I am.”

==============================================

The takeaway, at least from these two vignettes:  surgeons get blood on their hands, lawyers....criminality.....hard not to get soiled from one or the other if you're in medicine or law....

Academic Grievance Studies and the Corruption of Scholarship - Areo

Academic Grievance Studies and the Corruption of Scholarship - Areo



What if we write a paper saying we should train men like we do dogs—to prevent rape culture? Hence came the “Dog Park” paper. What if we write a paper claiming that when a guy privately masturbates while thinking about a woman (without her consent—in fact, without her ever finding out about it) that he’s committing sexual violence against her? That gave us the “Masturbation” paper. What if we argue that the reason superintelligent AI is potentially dangerous is because it is being programmed to be masculinist and imperialist using Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Lacanian psychoanalysis? That’s our “Feminist AI” paper. What if we argued that “a fat body is a legitimately built body” as a foundation for introducing a category for fat bodybuilding into the sport of professional bodybuilding? You can read how that went in Fat Studies.

CBC: An Exquisitely Canadian Form of Torture - henrymakow.com

Henry Makow's column just nails it here.  To which we would add:  Don't you just hate that fake stutter the on-air "males" employ to sound "sensitive" and "caring?"

We don't just bring you problems, we bring you the antidote:   Fred and Carrie skewer public media perfectly in Portlandia.....

Illusion v Reality: Fit to be Justice of the Supreme Court?

My sinister battle with Brett Kavanaugh over the truth - by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

Thirty-something attorney from privileged background engages in witness tampering, and cover-up to advance his career.  For spectators of the Ford v Kavanaugh main bout, this is a must read.

=============================
Conclusion:
Mr Kavanaugh went on to write the Starr Report on the Foster death. But Mr Knowlton got the last word, literally. He filed a 511-page report at the US Federal Court with evidence alleging a pattern of skullduggery, and asked that it be attached to the Starr Report.
The three top judges did not agree but they ordered that a shorter 20-page version be attached at the end, despite vehement protest from the Starr office. This had never happened before in the history of the office of the independent council.
This summary asserts that the FBI had “concealed the true facts”, that there had been witness tampering, and that the report had willfully ignored facts that refuted its own conclusions. There it sits in perpetuity, a strange rebuke for Mr Kavanaugh by his own fellow judges on the federal bench.
==============================================
So here we have (the suppressed) evidence of Vince Foster shot in the neck not in the mouth, as per suicide.
Marvelous government deception redolent of the Warren Report.  The reality behind the illusion.  There is always a "reality behind the illusion" it would seem...
