Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the former Taliban POW who was just returned to active duty, has lawyered up, asking prominent military affairs attorney Eugene Fidell to take his case.
Fidell, who teach military justice at Yale Law School, told ABC News today that he has been representing Bergdahl for about a week and is working pro bono.

Lawyered up for defamation of character lawsuits?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Pro bono?!? Drats, I was hoping the traitor would have to fork over some, if not all, of that ill gotten $350k to the lawyer.
For a desertion courts martial.
He won’t get that money unless he is cleared of desertion.
I’ve said it before, but just in case...the fix is in.
Follow the money to see who’s really paying Larry the Lawyer.
Never thought you’d consider Nixon to be honest, did you?
Then along came the Obamadork/felon/cretin with his comptriot, the Holder/felon/cretin.
Major fail, Luis.
A minor headline correction:
Ex-Taliban (purported POW) Bergdahl....
Leni
“He wont get that money unless he is cleared of desertion.”
If he doesn’t he’ll be made a Diversity Studies Professor at Yale. He’ll pull down $100k plus a year and never have a class.
Fidell has been a critic of the Bush Presidency’s policy on captives taken in the “war on terror”
his wife journalist Linda Greenhouse works for the New York Times
Fidel?
Pro bono doesn't always mean what you think it means. It might very well mean that Luis' time is unpaid but that the Feds (aka tax-payers) pay for associates, clerks, filing, printing, expert witness fees, etc, etc. How do you think Johnny Cochran et al became millionaires?
Would be right interesting to see what visitors or telephones calls the Bergdahl fambly have had since the really, really bad swap. With his wife's position at the NY Times the WH may have made the contact through several layers of cut-outs.
Pro bono? The guy is set to get $300,000+ back pay tax free. I say at the least this lawyer should charge.
Plus if he hasn’t done anything wrong as the WH has told us and his parents told us, why does he need a lawyer?
It’s pro bono for now as there are no charges filed.
After that, it’ll be our taxes hard at work defending him.
I’d be thinking it was to handle his forthcoming book deals which will rail against this country.
Remember a incident in the past when all of his
comrades called a fellow soldier a total scum-bag
who was not worthy of any military recognition?
Yeah, Bergdahl is like J. F’fin Kelly, and the swiftees;
but how did that turn out??

I think he’ll need one.
