Gannon has "highly paid" legal team.
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.

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.

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?

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.

But Guckert is a charity case. Nice to know.
