Brosnahan: Don't Blame HP Chair, She's Not a Lawyer (Dunn hires Taliban John's lawyer)

Excerpt -

Don't blame Hewlett-Packard Chairman Patricia Dunn, her new lawyer said Wednesday, for the convulsions the company's board have suffered in the wake of its troubled investigation of boardroom leaks.

"She's neither a lawyer nor is she an investigator," said James Brosnahan, the Morrison & Foerster litigator whom Dunn hired this week. "And she's not the kind of person, frankly, who would advise people to do something illegal."

Dunn has come under scrutiny for her role in directing the troubled probe -- The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that she closely supervised it -- and she's the latest figure in the imbroglio to get a big-name lawyer in response to multiple government investigations.

Brosnahan, long-known for handling high-profile clients -- including John Walker Lindh, the Marin County man once charged with fighting for the Taliban -- will represent Dunn before a congressional subcommittee and in the state and federal investigations into HP's probe of board members, journalists and employees.

Of the many guilty clients whom he got off, the late Percy Foreman once said he thought they were adequately punished by the size of his fees. Looks like this lady will face a similar punishment, and maybe a lot more.
