WaPo confirms: As lawyer, Elizabeth Warren worked to limit Dow Chemical’s liability to breast implan
LEGALINSURRECTION.COM ^ | 7/21/2019 | William A. Jacobson

Posted on 07/23/2019 7:20:05 PM PDT by bitt

Warren’s legal work for Dow Chemical, first exposed by Legal Insurrection during the 2012 Senate campaign, was not to help the women, as Warren claims: “Warren’s expertise was used by a company fighting in court to limit its liability and payments to the women.”

Timing is everything in politics, and Elizabeth Warren received a huge break when a devastating Washington Post investigation of Warren’s legal practice when she was a law professor was published on Monday, July 15, 2019. That was the day after Trump’s tweets telling four congresswomen “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how….”

The investigation confirmed and expanded on Legal Insurrection’s reporting from 2012 that in her private legal practice Warren worked against breast implant victims, not for them as she claimed. It was part of a pattern of Warren representing major corporations against the people Warren claims to care about, before she launched her political career.

Those Trump tweets sparked a week-long (and still ongoing) media feeding frenzy in which the WaPo report about Warren received little attention. The WaPo report should have been massive news, particularly with the second Democrat debate coming up this week. It should have been the subject of other news coverage about Warren’s private legal practice, and other Democrat presidential candidates should have been talking about how it works against Warren much as Joe Biden’s past is used against him.

so? that’s what lawyers do: represent their client’s interests ... looks like WaPo must have some other candidate in mind to win the nomination ... presumably Harris ...

So she’s not A COMPLETE imbecile. Since that ‘liability’ was bs, she was actually doing a good thing there.

He’s a master of it.

Doesn’t make any difference what she’s been involved in.

The left would back an axe murderer against Trump, and call it rescue.

At the time, she was a professor at Harvard Law, making somewhere north of $300K/yr from that gig.

So Warren likes breast cancer! Quite a political statement.

Well think about it from a different angle.

Limiting liability for breast implants also kept the costs those women paid for the implants lower. No company is going to not factor that into the costs for what they sell.

Maybe so, but it runs counter to the narrative that she's all about the little people, don't it?

The hippies ain't gonna like this much.

She's doomed.

I can’t hold this against Warren. As I recall, there was never any scientific evidence that the implants were causing any trouble. And breast implants are still being used today, meaning that a bunch of lawyers used the issue to get rich and then the whole subject was dropped.

Kind of like the current case with Round Up.

She’s not for “the little guy” after all? She can be bought for beads and wampum? So you mean Liawatha’s a fraud after all? I’m shocked!

Let’s see how fast the media can shut this story down.

You don't have to. But her so-called base will.

Use it.

We call it 'politics'.
