full title --- Christine Blasey Ford's lawyer resigned from his law firm because partners objected to his decision to represent her

During Thursday's Kavanaugh hearings, one of Christine Blasey Ford's lawyers, Michael Bromwich, stated that both her counsel are representing her pro-bono. Bromwich also resigned from his law firm — he served as senior counsel at Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck, Untereiner & Sauber LLP — because some of the partners objected to his decision to represent Ford. Bromwich, a Harvard Law graduate and former federal prosecutor, was known before this hearing for assisting the investigation of the Iran-Contra affair. During Thursday's hearing, Rachel Mitchell, the Arizona prosecutor employed by the committee, pressed Ford on the nature of her legal representation, possibly in an attempt to portray her as being guided by more powerful Democrats looking out for the interest of the party. As Ford attempted to address the key points of Mitchell's questions, one of her lawyers jumped in. "Both of her counsel are doing this pro bono," Michael Bromwich told the committee. "We are not being paid. We have no expectation of being paid."

What Bromwich did not mention was that he not only was not being paid for his time representing Ford—he also left his job at a Washington law firm where he served as senior counsel.

According to Bloomberg, Bromwich, 64, resigned from Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck, Untereiner & Sauber LLP, as some of the partners at the firm had objected to his decision to represent Ford.

Bromwich, a Harvard Law graduate and former federal prosecutor, was known before this hearing for assisting the investigation of the Iran-Contra affair and, more recently, for representing former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who was fired in March by Jeff Sessions

This is typical Democrat BS. He did resign from that firm and isn’t being paid by Dr Ford but you can bet your own bottom dollar that once this entire Ford v. Kavanaugh fiasco is over he will be paid ... either as a book advance or by one of the many Soros entities, or another left wing law firm will hire him on, or the one he left will take him back. He is not out. Not at all.

Partner, I guess I should have known she would show up since she was promised some big $$$$.

Partner, she has received over $1 million already in donations from Far Left Liberals in this country and this is not counting the "Sorus" contribution since we do not know approx. but it is in excess of $10 Million.

Why in excess of $10 million. It supposedly gave the Rat party and Rat candidates exposure to the news and they would looked upon favorably by "We the People". It has back fired completely on the Rat party!!!
