He's a lawyer, what do you expect?
Its like the old story of the frog and the scorpion:
A scorpion asks a frog for a ride across the creek. The frog says no becuase you'll sting me
The scorpion says if I sting you then I'll drown so I won't do that.
Ok says the frog but half way across the scorpion stings the frog
Why'd you do that asks the frog as he slips below the surface
BECAUSE I"M A SCORPION
Lawyers are whores. They will work either side of any issue.
