Vice President Mike Pence has hired McGuireWoods chairman Richard Cullen to represent him in the congressional and special counsel’s investigations into Russian influence. Cullen has connections to fired FBI director James Comey, a lawyer who once worked at McGuireWoods, report the New York Times, the Am Law Daily (sub. req.) and the Washington Post in stories here and here. The relationship is personal: Cullen is godfather to one of Comey’s daughters, according to the Post. And they both worked at one time in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Richmond, Virginia, though not at the same time. Cullen was U.S. attorney for the office from 1991 to 1993, before Comey joined the office in 1996. Cullen also has prosecution experience on the state level, serving as Virginia attorney general from 1997 to 1998. Cullen began his career as a staffer for a Republican member of the House Judiciary Committee who voted to impeach Richard Nixon in the Watergate scandal. Later, he was special counsel to a Republican senator investigating the Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages sales. The Times says Pence is probably a peripheral figure in the Russia investigation who could be questioned as a witness.

This is bizarre.
Comey, Mueller, every “lawyer” in Washington is a “fixer” for the criminal class.
Cullen may be the most overrated lawyer in Virginia.
I find Aaron Zebley, Mueller’s top assistant, to be interesting, also. The ABAJournal describes him as formerly Comey’s Chief of Staff.
People used to make fun of hillbillies for supposedly being inbred... but even the most inbred Deliverance style hillbillies have nothing on the eastern ruling class of the US. The country’s all screwed up because the leadership and media are constantly bonking each other’s closest relatives.
The motto of the American left should be “Incest- the game the whole family can play.”
Better check the stats: dense urban areas have a higher incidence of incest than sparse rural areas.
Brilliant post! Great.
This is about leadership and lawyers—not media.
Setup! Wondering is it only one lawyer in town??????
Strange bedfellows indeed.
If Sundance has an explanation, PLEASE disabuse.
New meaning for screwed-up.
The gene pool in D.C. is about 1 chromosome deep. The most incestuous place on earth.
How do I get this moved to the sidebar; this obscure story from a scholarly journal must not be buried!
1 chromosome deep—good one!
Dunno about the sidebar.
I was shocked to see the link -up between Comey’s daghter and one of Mueller’s Mauraders.
Godfather conflict.
If it is hot point it to LIZ.
Thanks for the appropriate ping. The connection is between Comey’s daughter and Pence.
Paul Ryan - a week or so ago, met with Mittens and other Never-Trumpers -
They getting Pence ready to step into office as Pres? //with Mittens as his VP
this has to be STOPPED
Where are the Americans taking to the streets - crashing our reps email boxes,web sites and flooding their phones - flooding the media with letters to the editor...
we have a man putting his LIFE on the line for us - and all we do is natter????????
Pence’s attorney is Comey’s daughter’s godfather. Unreal.
Please get this to the sidebar. Ping whomever needs pinging.
