As you can see from my other recent posts, I am not supportive of this nomination. However, to attack Miers on the basis of this civil lawsuit is off the mark. I am familiar with lawsuits of this sort. Most such suits against law and accounting firms are little more than deep pocket searches by amoral plaintiff class action attorneys. It is very unlikely that any attorney in her firm had any knowledge of the fraud or any reason to believe the fraud was taking place.
She was a MANAGING PARTNER but she was unaware of cases being managed by the firm she was a part of? The story may not be true and I will wait to hear it from several sources before determining that it is.
I'm just thinking that the story that she is innocent because she did not know what was happening is not going to fly. Even if it is true.
