Susan Molinari was a nice lady and one of then larger NY congressional caucus. She was always perky & often present in media ala CNN Crossfire and was a familiar face during the Newt era. Her family has DEEP political legacy & I remember seeing her name come up about something some time back and thinking it was sad she’d apparently though not surprisingly become some DC lobbyist K St. or something. Sandy Hume is the son of Brit Hume from FOX News. The article lays out the then rumored relationship between him (Sandy Hume) and Congr. Bill Paxon, another of the slick-but-a-little-too-nice-and-friendly-guy persona Republicans of that day. That whole thing was sordid & folks mostly just wanted to allow Brit Hume his peace. As I recall, this was also during the time when the Clintonss were slinging dirt anywhere they could to avoid impeachment. To see the quotes from then in that article, now, by Joe Scarborough, is very interesting. Then when it seemed it couldn’t get any weirder, Paxon & Molinari married after Sandy Hume committed suicide, and both ended up leaving congress.

Also at Akin attorney group is Melissa Laurenza - the lawyer also listed by “Q” that did the (alleged) Manafort transaction that the Mule has her testifying to with limited immunity under crime / fraud exception. She is also clearly DS friendly with ties back to prior history at Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee working directly for the Turtle, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Reading her background left me a little curious if she was also a plant up front (nothing further)

You forgot to mention that one of the biggies of that article was that the relationship between Paxon and Hume was not what the press made it out to be.

Hume’s suicide followed a night of drinking, a high speed chase by the po po, jail and attempted suicide by shoelaces (are you kidding? I though shoelaces and belts were always taken away), committment to a psych ward, talking his way out of the psych ward and release, and then his suicide.

Paxon was not gay. Hume was, openly. Hume had troubles.

Thanks, good info. Rule for Republicans, never hire a DC lawyer, ever. There is not a one that is not in the swamp. Hire the ones that the Russian company hired, that firm kicks ass.
