Funny you should mention the firm of Patton & Boggs, LLP.

Yesterday I was looking at the federal bankruptcy court filings for bankrupt Pinnacle Towers (Sarasota,FL.) and Patton & Boggs (pg. 29)is listed as a party in the Pinnacle bankruptcy.

Ironic that Pinnacle made an approx. $8.3 million payment personally to a Mark C. Sapperstein (close personal acquaintance & political crony of Maryland Attorney General, Joseph Curran Jr., Democrat)for certain cellular tower assets which were bundled into a $325 million IPO.

And that five federal prosecutors were caught lying in federal court proceedings in South Florida & Maryland to conceal alleged criminal activities involving organized crime.

Also ironic that one of the federal prosecutors (caught lying) was touted by the Republican Party as a possible replacement for Louis Freeh, as the Director of the FBI.

That the legal counsel for Pinnacle's $325 million IPO was Holland & Knight, whose top attorney, Bill McBride is now running for Governor of Florida on the Democratic ticket.

A large chunk of NBW stock was held by Paul Laxalt, whose firm represented BCCI in Florida when it all came tumbling down. Other NBW directors where Tommy-the- torts-Boggs...you know, Cokie Roberts brother. Boggs Law firm, Patton Boggs and Blow, represented Sheik Zayed and BCCI. This is where Ron Brown came from: Patton Boggs and Blow.

Nothing to see here let's just move on !!!!
