Thanks to edinva and others, that info’s been posted on FR .. and is readily available to those who care to find it.

The following is information I was able to cull readily from the official Federal Elections Commission website for disbursements from the Obama campaign to the law firm of Perkins Coie, which is or did represent Obama in various eligibility suits. The FEC links follow the entries.

October quarterly:
Perkins Coie 314,018.06
http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2009/Q3/C00431445/B_PAYEE_C00431445.html;

July 2009 quarterly:
Perkins Coie 270,754.18
http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2009/Q2/C00431445/B_PAYEE_C00431445.html

April quarterly
Perkins Coie 688,316.42
http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2009/Q1/C00431445/B_PAYEE_C00431445.html

Year-End 2008
Perkins Coie 173,052.52
http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2008/YE/C00431445/B_PAYEE_C00431445.html

Amended post-general election:
Perkins Coie 205,323.00
http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2008/30G/C00431445/B_PAYEE_C00431445.html

That adds up to $1,651,464.18

Perkins Coie does not appear in the pre-general election filing or a few others I checked randomly. You are free to pursue any further information that is of interest. But one would assume that the official FEC website to which the Obama and other campaigns must report their financial activity would be taken by even the most skeptical among us as valid documentation of the reported $1.4 or $1.8, or anything in between, figure expended to defend the eligibility suits.

This information is about the legal fees only of that one law firm, not the DOJ attorneys, court time, or other related costs.

Thank you, Ed! It also doesn’t cover other involved law firms .. Morgan, Nicholas; Morgan, Bockius et al, who’ve been paid and the other involved lawyers whose names we don’t know.

Thank you both! $1.4M is a very conservative figure and it's evident it is much more. It could very well be close to $4 or 5M - since so much is excluded.

Curiosity .. Because no one who has quoted a number has been able to provide a source to back it up.

Curiosity - What's up w/that? I took you at your word. that's makes me gullible. But what does that make you? I'll tell you one time - DO NOT EVER POST TO ME again. You got that, chump?
