I have noticed that operatives appear to send out attorneys to grab a microphone and become prominent when there’s an area in the news where they may have some liability they want to defend against.
The attorneys go around and pro bono or for cheap offer their services to prospective claimants in the area they are trying to muddy. They may end up gathering loads of suits or loads of claimants—and then they manage to be entirely ineffective.
Success, in the eyes of the operatives, achieved.
I think that was done around the election in 2020 (Lin Wood, Sidney Powell, etc.) and around the jabs the last couple of years, both generally and in representation of military members.
That may have been the case with Wood, but many in this mess weren’t operative driven but pow-wowed with Trump on strategy. The exact relationship is often gray. The result. Not a lot for Trump and a lot of loss for these “great legal minds.”
