David Boies, the left-wing lawyer famous for taking on Al Gore's hanging chad Florida election disputes in 2000, turns out to have been the facilitator of an army of private investigators who tracked actresses making sexual abuse allegations against Hollywood studio big Harvey Weinstein and the reporters reporting it.

Boies also stopped the media, including the NYT, from reporting about Weinstein's victims.

From The New York Times: "We learned today that the law firm of Boies Schiller and Flexner secretly worked to stop our reporting on Harvey Weinstein at the same time as the firm's lawyers were representing us in other matters. We consider this intolerable conduct, a grave betrayal of trust, and a breach of the basic professional standards that all lawyers are required to observe. It is inexcusable, and we will be pursuing appropriate remedies."

Boies is the scumbag lawyer involved in the Bush-Gore recount in 2000. Slimmy prick.

As an attorney, my philosophy is that no client is worth my license to practice law.

Well Mr. Boies, I bope Harvey was worth it.

Not just Democrats.

Why do “adversaries” always end up as Deep State partners? Boies and Ted Olson (of the fictitious phone call from Barbara Olson) teamed up to give us gay marriage.

This seems to be a Bimbo Eruption Squad redux. Dems circle around the scumbags - Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, what’s the difference - and attack the victims/accusers.
