MAGA Lawyer Loses Case Against J6 Committee For Tortious Making Me Look Bad - Above the Law
Briefly

Stefan Passantino has made headlines recently for his questionable legal maneuvers, including defamation lawsuits against Andrew Weissman and former Rep. Liz Cheney, as well as a suit against Congress itself. His claims suggest conspiratorial leaking of information that supposedly harmed his career after Cassidy Hutchinson replaced him with a new lawyer. The complaints appear to be rooted in dubious legal theories, raising eyebrows about their legitimacy and the motivations behind them. Ultimately, his actions may overshadow his defense of Hutchinson during the January 6 Committee investigations.
If Stefan Passantino wants to be remembered for something other than his disastrous representation of Cassidy Hutchinson, he could start by shutting up about it.
The complaint was Binnall's standard fare: indignant whinging grafted onto a bizarre legal theory.
The Committee deliberately leaked information to news media, immediately before it would have quietly become public, in order to bring attention to private facts and damage Mr. Passantino.
Why he thinks the transcript would have garnered no public attention, or why he might have an interest in the compelled testimony of his former client, is left as an exercise for the reader.
