Harlon Carter, a convicted murderer and crooked Border Patrol agent, led a putsch against the NRA board in 1977 and replaced the old-school shooting-sports-and-rifle-safety folks with paranoid psychopaths and gun salesmen.

PG&E filed for bankruptcy right after they were sued, but way before any judgements or settlements. That didn't seem to raise eyebrows.

I love that. Fuck around and find out. It's appropriate for so many situations involving Republicans.

And she's going to take my beautiful suits and sell them at a yard sale on the courthouse steps.

Nope, not even a little bad. He's defending blood-soaked merchants of death that have profited from the brutal murder of children.

If he didn't want to defend them he could quit the case, quit the firm.

If he had a soul he could refuse their blood money.

He hasn't, so fuck him straight to hell.

Mmm, if all the proceeds went to the families of gun violence victims that would be an asset seizure I could get all the way behind. TAKE IT ALL, AG JAMES.

But he's not going to jail now is he? No he probably won't.

It may be normal legalese, but calling it "a state regulatory scheme" makes it sound like some nefarious plot to a layperson.

Wayne has that Good Ol' Boy stank all over him. Which makes his inevitable takedown by an a) woman who has the nerve to b) Lawyer While Being Black and is a c) Yankee all the more delicious.

Most of the corporations and tax exempt religious in America need to be taken behind the woodshed in the same manner for their fucking greed!

Nothing like having your Right Wing Nut caught between a rock and a hard place. If you're gonna be corrupt, Wayne, it's a good idea to be smart about it. I could tell right off just by reading this Attorney General's name she hadda be a Woman of Color, and I doubt any person of that shade got to her position because of some "Affirmative Action" but I'd bet a dollar to a Chris Christie donut crumb that you thought she was just some dumbass (sexist racial slur). Now it may be dawning on your sorry ass, Wayne, that AG Letitia James not only saw your ass coming from a few state's away, she'd done her homework on your kind by middle school.
