“Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP (a.k.a. "Patterson," or "PBWT"), founded in 1919, is a law firm headquartered in New York City.
It is one of the first major firms in New York City to elect a woman as managing partner.
In addition to its Diversity Committee, a group of Patterson Belknap attorneys formed
PAC—Patterson Attorneys of Color—to assist with the enhancement of workplace
diversity and the recruitment, retention and promotion of attorneys of color. Another
group, Out at Patterson, focuses on issues relevant to the firm’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender individuals, and Women Lawyers at Patterson (WLAP) focuses on women's issues.

The firm’s litigation department has enjoyed a long string of successful jury victories,
ranging from patent and trademark infringement/false advertising to antitrust to
professional malpractice cases.
Patterson Belknap was among the first law firms approved by the New York State CLE
board as an accredited provider of continuing legal education courses.”

RATs think we’re stupid and can’t figure out what they’re up to. They’re, obviously, very wrong.

George Soros may have found his disciple, Saakashvili, at the offices of Patterson, Belknap, Webb, and Tyler LLC in Tbilisi, where the young lawyer started his career after coming home in 1992 from study at Columbia University. A professor there, R. Scott Horton, combines the careers of human rights defender, and privatization consultant in the former U.S.S.R. In the 1980s, he was the lawyer for aging Academician Andrei Sakharov and his wife, Yelena Bonner. Today, Horton represents the Ukrainian intelligence Major Mykola Melnychenko, whose peddling of audiotapes of President Leonid Kuchma’s private conversation launched a political crisis in Ukraine in 2001.

At a 1998 Columbia University conference on Caspian oil reserves (co-sponsored by Exxon), this friend of dissidents presented a report astronomically remote from human rights—on the juridical implications of the division of the Caspian Sea. By that time, Patterson, Belknap, Webb, and Tyler had been in Kazakstan for ten years, and in Moscow for five. In Russia, the firm is a partner of Alpha Group’s Tyumen Oil Co. (TNK), recently merged with British Petroleum, and the largest Russian telecommunications company, Svyazinvest, co-privatized by George Soros, Boris Jordan, and Vladimir Potanin in 1997.

Old hand at trashing politically charged wikipedia pages.

This sock was one of the main guys who attacked the Swiftboat Vets in 2004.

It would be interesting to watch a New York City law firm try to argue that they were somehow protected by the Sullivan v. New York Times doctrine which generally shields the news media from most libel and slander actions.

I would giggle my ever loving behind off if a progressive/socialist law firm was put out of business while padding El Rushbo’s legal victory with hundreds of millions in compensatory and punitive damages.

Then him turning around and using every single dime of that money to establishing scholarships for hundreds of conservative law students to combat these people. Oh wow the irony would indeed be delicious.

It has been a while since he popped up on KOS

Armando was Armando Lloréns-Sar. His website is Swords Crossed.

Digging around there for a bit to see if any cross relationships.

There are a lot of potential damages here, I can’t see Rush settling for a pittance.

The Rooney family here in Pittsburgh turned a $5000 investment into a $500,000,000 profit with their NFL investment. A possible 100,000 fold return on investment is his potential , theoretical monetary damages.
