You don’t stay employed by Covington and Burling for long if you are an incompetent lawyer; corrupt is another matter.
Those attorneys will be resigning from the firm once this is over, with a very nice separation agreement. PR wise, the firm can’t afford to keep them; and they will pay them big bucks to go away and get a non-disclosure agreement in return.
They could also get disbarred if Judge Sullivan really pushes it, but bar associations are very reluctant to do that because they have to know these attorneys have first on lots of other attorneys, including those on the ethics committee.
what? you mean to imply that bar lawyers blackmail and/or extort other bar lawyers??
