A former member of the Watergate prosecution team says a January 6 slush fund could expose DOJ lawyers to fraud charges later, unless pardons come first. James Comey is described as expecting payment from an “anti-weaponization” fund. Reed O’Connor is reported to have enjoined a hospital from complying with a federal judge’s ruling issued from within the same state, framed as an extreme judicial posture. Todd Blanche is alleged to have lied under oath. NYC lateral hiring is reported at a three-year high. Alex Murdaugh is suing a clerk whose actions contributed to his murder convictions being overturned. Boies Schiller and Dentons are reported to have defeated a RICO suit brought by a former client, while additional sanctions are reported for Quinn Emanuel.
