"Considering her legal bills were expected to exceed $500,000,..."

You just made that up. Her bills eventually reached over 500k but we don't know what they were at the time of the 100k offer.

No I didn't. It would have been obvious from the beginning to anyone who works in the legal profession. <>I am an attorney and I know what these kinds of cases cost. The $100,000 offer from the Legislature was just a bait and switch tactic to get her trapped into taking the taxpayer money (which would then give them another opportunity to pile on the ethics charges).

$100,000 wouldn't even cover the costs on a political ethics case, much less the attorney fees. At $500 per hour you would get about 200 attorney hours without costs. Depos cost a minimum of about $2000 each not including attorney time. With research, subpoenaing records and review of documents, preparation of pleadings and trial preparation, I would suspect that with all these various specious ethics claim, that at least 1000 hours of attorney time would be necessary to mount a legitimate defense of all these bogus ethics claims.

You sir, are a tool of the left. I know you have been here a long time, but your recent obsession with beating down Sarah Palin tells me that you are either a conservative imposter or a useful idiot. If you were the former you would have been banned a long time ago. Therefore I can only conclude that you are the latter.
