ALL he's thinking about is saving his ass - and even then, what's the worst that can befall him - a career change?
There's no real deterrent for out of control prosecuters, anywhere. Even in the middle of this slapdown, the bar was reluctant to charge Nif'ingon with lying to them, as they felt that a disagreement on facts could lead to a crimnal charge, and that would be "over charging" (apparently Patrick Fitzgerald & NCIS never got that memo).
What really amazes me are the fraternity of lawyers who not only support each other's unrestrained and unconscionable attacks from the safety of their pulpits, knowing that even should they fall, they won't be bruised - it's the tiffys they get in should we even question their motives!
Nice smackdown on the twink, btw. You know I love ya when you talk like that.
;~)
I saw him trying to figure out how to save himself. It seems obvious he never thought he would never be held accountable for his words and deed-I could see the shock settling over him. I listened to one of the Dads give the account on how it has affected every member of their family and beyond.
He screwed the pooch.
Listening to a lawyer defend another lawyer who screwed the pooch is kinda like being forced to watch a menage a trois with pygmies.
