Pat Cipollone? Is his middle name “Two Fingers”?
Not a member of the Federalist Society?
Anyway, the Post article does not mention the most interesting detail about Cipollone: he almost-single-handedly converted Laura Ingraham into the Catholic faith.
ahh … another lawyer who considers himself to be at the pinnacle of his career —
From his firm’s website: (emphasis added)
Mr. Cipollone also has substantial expertise in defamation counseling and litigation on behalf of corporations, organizations and public figures, including prepublication negotiations and/or litigation with major media organizations. Prior to joining Stein Mitchell as a name partner, Mr. Cipollone was a litigation partner for over a decade in the Washington, D.C. office of Kirkland & Ellis.
She’s such a pushover when it comes to single-handed things:
" utmost integrity and superb judgment "
Well that was nice while he had it. ETTD
Yup. That’s exactly the kind of mouthpiece that Rump needs right now: a lawyer who can get Rump money when he thinks he’s been “defamed”
(this requires the /s)
No kidding. Once again he hires someone with no actual qualifications for the job and expects them to go to bat for him. Hey Dumpy - Pat isn’t supposed to work for you.
And Pat - you’d better cover your ass nine ways to Sunday, or else put your former firm on retainer.
Thinking the WH Councel job is a matter of PR?
Hmm … Cipollone … Sounds like another Mano Nera to me … One of Giuliani’s illegitimates?
Sounds like Trump is looking for another fixer. This is just pathetic.
It also sounds like he’s looking for someone he can use against the press - “Litigation with major media operations.”
Maybe Cipollone can explain the First Amendment to him.
You gotta assume that his business strategy post-Trump is to set himself up as the go-to legal attack dog for for the most extreme white-wing paranoiacs and traitors.
